Community Alert 

Edit: User Admitted to trying to scam!

Hello. I am currently being told that I am talking to this user phybeя.

User being impersonated: https://hackforums.net/member.php?action...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.Spoiler (Click to View)

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.Spoiler (Click to View)

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

Skype - 'phyber-optikz'
Kik - 'DoE'

Here is the Whole Skype Conversation that went on as well.

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.
Updated OP, user admitted to scamming the username on YouTube '1'

Another thing is the time never changes.
3:12PM lol. He must be dumb to not change that.
Thank god you were smart enough to avoid getting scammed by him. That's why I always stress PM verification before any deal on this forum.

If you are struggling and need someone to talk to about something or want to vent about your IRL problems, I am just one PM away.

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 )
