Attention booter and api owners! Boot scam - El Swag Loco - Nov 20, 2013
Not much of a big deal but can get really annoying.
A user under the skype name m.toften is running around adding API and booter owners when needed claiming he will buy your product but will need you to boot something first and as soon as you do he claims it never worked and even after you watched it go down and proved it going down and request him to show you his end on tv or screenshare he stops replying and says hes now tlkin to another seller.
Its a common scam i have seen people try to pull. They say they have the money to spend they want a game booted down before bought then they walk away bcz they got what they wanted.
Its not that big of a deal like i said but it gets annoying so keep a lookout

This probably will not help due to how easy it is to create a new skype.
However, thanks for the warning.. might save somebody a headache.

Here's an idea:
why not just offer a page on your booter where people can boot for 2 minutes for free every day?

Then many people will boot for 2 minutes free everyday. Or they'll just keep creating accounts

If you're a booter owner that would be a easy solution.
But for an api owner not so much. Unless they make a booter and use the API on it. Honestly its just a headache i get where your coming from but it seems everyone wants something for free now-a-days and when your willing to stick your hand out to help people take advantage.
Personally i don't usually give request boots to test i normally offer booting their ip for a minute to show them it works but sometimes i do this depending on the deal and today seeing i got out of bed to do this deal it really annoyed me so i figured id share it with everyone else so they don't go through the headache.
The idea you have is wonderful but i can see 90% of the HF community mooching it each day.
Also seeing each server runs steady upto 12 attacks at one time it will just overflow the server and more hassle for me.
but anyways thanks for the idea. Goodnight.

It's not too difficult to make it a pain in the ass for them to create new accounts. And so what? 2 minutes is nothing lol

If you're an API owner, just request they prove that they own the booter first.

How about you solve this $300 scam report first before posting about other scams that people have to watch out?

Hard captcha's, long forms, email verification, wait time to confirm email ect.

Not at all. Pain in the ass to make the free account. After that make it simple to use the free boot.
