Edit: User Admitted to trying to scam! - bοxxy - May 12, 2014
Hello. I am currently being told that I am talking to this user phybeя.
User being impersonated: https://hackforums.net/member.php?action=profile&uid=195796
After a little conversation, I started to suspect something that was a little bit fishy, and decided to do some poking around.
I told him, since he was such a high valued/trusted member to Private Message me through HackForums. He then gave me this picture, saying that he could not message me because the CloudFare DDoS Protection thingy would always log him out.
This is the image.

He wouldn't actually send me the PM because of this, so I decided that I was going to PM him. I PM'ed him, and he then claimed that he got like 50 messages in his inbox when I see on his screen he has a total of 29 and 1 Unread. This is when I knew that this was all a scam, but I went on to get more information for this report.
After I told him that I sent him a Private Message with the Title 'Hello' He sends me this picture after it " Took him a while to find it "
This is the image.

Then, I decided that I would catch him red-handed with cold hard proof. I told him I sent him another message, with the title 'Is this really you' . He then of course stalls and then sends me this picture.
TAKE NOTE: I actually did not send any message at all, this proves that he is making this up, probably using Source Editor for Google Chrome
This is the image.

This basically sums up this whole report, but here is a little more information so you can be cautious of who this scammer is.

Kik - 'DoE'
Here is the Whole Skype Conversation that went on as well.

[10:03:46 PM] : Alright, I messaged you

[10:10:53 PM] phyber_optikz: Oh yeah
[10:11:01 PM] phyber_optikz: https://gyazo.com/3f14b02059802d69c2d0b097a244c684
[10:11:06 PM] phyber_optikz: Same thing happens when I click on it though
[10:11:10 PM] phyber_optikz: This is pissing me off.
[10:11:41 PM] : Wow that is you :O
[10:11:56 PM] phyber_optikz: Of course it is.
[10:12:13 PM] phyber_optikz: Would you take Paypal or do you strictly need BTC?
[10:12:23 PM] : Let me see
[10:12:28 PM] : Can I have a few minutes?
[10:12:36 PM] phyber_optikz: Sure.
[10:20:33 PM] : Hold on my mum is making me do all these chores
[10:20:45 PM] phyber_optikz: Ok.
[10:21:04 PM] : Ugh, I'll take paypal
[10:21:13 PM] : BTC is being retarded
[10:21:30 PM] phyber_optikz: Alright.
[10:21:35 PM] phyber_optikz: Do you want to get a MM or would you go first?
[10:23:03 PM] : Depends let me think
[10:23:06 PM] : Do you know any mm
[10:23:44 PM] phyber_optikz: Not really. I'm usually the person that people get to MM for them. We could get a staff member on HF if you want. Not sure if they'd MM a deal like this but we could try.
[10:24:07 PM] : Maybe, let me think
[10:24:14 PM] phyber_optikz: Ok.
[10:30:36 PM] phyber_optikz: Oh you have @Sprinkle and @Mainstream too? How much do you want for those?
[10:31:43 PM] : Offer?
[10:31:54 PM] phyber_optikz: No idea honestly
[10:32:20 PM] phyber_optikz: 40 each?
[10:35:09 PM] phyber_optikz: I have to get off in like 25 minutes so if we're going to deal can we do it now?
[10:35:37 PM] : Give me 10 minutes to finish cleaning then I will go upstairs
[10:35:42 PM] : And get on the comp
[10:35:43 PM] : Hold on
[10:35:48 PM] phyber_optikz: Ok
[10:43:59 PM] : Hey do you have any kiks?
[10:44:05 PM] : I might wanna trade as well
[10:44:16 PM] phyber_optikz: I just have my personal kik and it isn't for sale.
[10:44:37 PM] : Shoot. Instagrams?
[10:44:45 PM] : Snapchats?
[10:44:49 PM] : Anything?
[10:44:50 PM] phyber_optikz: Nah.
[10:44:55 PM] : Okay .-.
[10:44:56 PM] phyber_optikz: Just cash.
[10:44:59 PM] : Let me log in
[10:45:04 PM] phyber_optikz: The stuff I buy I usually hold for awhile.
[10:45:06 PM] : Can I have a screenshot of your balance?
[10:45:20 PM] : I'm just iffy about this I love my kik
[10:45:36 PM] phyber_optikz: Sure. Are you selling me Sprinkle and mainstream along with it? Or just the Kik?
[10:45:43 PM] : Just the kik for now
[10:45:48 PM] : One deal at a time
[10:46:04 PM] phyber_optikz: https://gyazo.com/1a299e5cb0ede0c43fd1ec97c397cabc
[10:46:12 PM] phyber_optikz: Alright sounds good, I'll just buy the Kik.
[10:46:26 PM] phyber_optikz: I don't feel comfortable sending 3 separate payments to the same Paypal in a short period of time.
[10:46:30 PM] phyber_optikz: $450 for the Kik, correct?
[10:47:06 PM] : Yeah that does look fishy
[10:47:10 PM] : To paypal
[10:47:21 PM] phyber_optikz: Yep. :P
[10:47:25 PM] phyber_optikz: I did that once and got limited
[10:47:37 PM] phyber_optikz: Luckily I called them and they understood when I explained what happened.
[10:47:40 PM] phyber_optikz: So I got unlimited.
[10:47:57 PM] : Nice!!
[10:55:06 PM] phyber_optikz: So am I buying just the Kik or the 2 IGs aswell?
[10:55:10 PM] phyber_optikz: Either one is fine with me.
[10:55:32 PM] : Offwr
[10:55:34 PM] : For all
[10:55:45 PM] phyber_optikz: I can offer 40 each for the IGs.
[10:55:46 PM] phyber_optikz: Is that enough?
[10:55:52 PM] : Hmmmmm
[10:55:55 PM] phyber_optikz: What all do you have? I can spend all the cash in my Paypal.

Thank you, I have fixed the images, and updated the OP.

He should have taken the time to edit the PMs. Would have made it more convincing. I'm pretty sure this same guy has scammed multiple members on this site.

This guy needs to be dealt with. He has a HackForums, I know this because he messaged me something about why I keep updating the thread with what he is telling me ( after I told him I know he's scamming )
