having messaged a moderator he informed me this didn't break any rules, and that also moderators cannot interfere with scam accusations to prevent bias.
That's correct:18. Having multiple accounts and account sales are allowed, but account sales are discouraged.
19. Possible (or real) scams and Trust ratings are not moderated (to prevent moderation abuse).

I could post the accusation of the scam, and name the accounts, but this would help nothing as they could just create more accounts.
By not doing it, you're not helping either (at the same time, you're indirectly encouraging them to continue).- Create a thread in Reputation (that's where users usually post such cases) > Provide the necessary information > wait for them to be tagged.
I personally think such a user should be banned, in my opinion, do other people share the same?
Yes (but since it isn't against the forum rules, nothing will happen).My reasoning for not doing so was to see if there could be some discussion around this rule, if I was to post then that would alert the scamming user that he'd be noticed, and thus take measures to make sure he isn't noticed in future. Whereas I have pretty damning evidence at the moment, more evidence could be accumulated, and then the user would be more likely to be banned (were such a rule to exist). Anyway, I presume this is why this thread is open, to discuss/ clarify rules.
