Topic: Scam Alert : liqhtlord Scamming (Read 791 times)
Thanks for the heads up. People should remember to check usernames carefully.
What happened::
On August 18, 2014, a scammer created an account name, liqhtlord, (using a lower case Q in place of a lower case G) to impersonate the trusted forum user lightlord who has been here since 2011. The scammer uses this similar looking userID to send PMs to people that reply to lightlord's forum posts. The scammer also falsely claims to have acquired an escrow address from me, and sends this fake address to the target hoping that the potential victim won't contact myself or the real lightlord to verify the information.
