So there are the scum of the internet who Scam in order to get a pretty penny, and as you may already know, Skype Impostors are frequent.

Skype Impostor: Somebody who creates a skype similar to a reputable HF member and scams with that account.

I have seen one guy do this, and if I find his name it'll be added here, but I feel like this should have a thread to itself.

Setup:

You need an OLD thread. Like a thread nobody would be possible viewing.
I have a thread which is not old, but nobody would be viewing it.


You also a need a skype, of course.

Execution:

You will need to make it seem believable, add the person, and say you want to do an exchange, whatever.

They will Obviously be interested, just say "Hey, check out my thread for it" or be creative.

HF has a feature that allows for you to see members viewing the thread.
If you're Ub3r, you can even see members who have the setting as "don't show I'm online".



They will click on the thread, and just refresh the page until somebody views the page. The only person who would be viewing that page is
somebody who got that link... aka the Scammer.

Congratz, you now know the scammers profile. Make sure to take tons of screenshots and provide proof.
