Post: Impersonating Staff Members..

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); First and foremost, I am putting this out there now.. if you are caught doing so, no matter in what way being through Xbox, PS3, other sites etc. you will receive a permanent ban.

Now it has come to my attention that someone has made a PSN account named "NGU-Alpha" and has decided to go around attempting to scam users. Sadly, one user has already been scammed by "me". That PSN is not mine, I can assure you that. I presumed many of you would have known that my PSN was ImMrAlpha, but it seems that is not the case.

Now for one, please have common sense in that, you should always message me on HERE on NGU before anything. I would assume that people would be smarter than to simply believe a PSN message, but then again, not everyone thinks the same way I do.

Second, when dealing with real money, putting Vbux aside, you should take every precaution necessary. I now know that I should not be so frugal with my information, thought I could trust people, but it is the internet. But I'm done with that..

The point of the thread was, and this was not just made as a personal vendetta, that you can't be careless. I don't mean to put the user on blast or anything, and I know PM's are supposed to be private, excuse that, but it is needed.

If anyone has any idea as to who this person is, let me or any staff member know. Thank you. :y:

Edit: 1/19/11

Luckily the user camacheiro was able to come across "me" on Skype ( I don't even have Skype :dumb: ) and post what was said.

Well, seems he is still attempting to pull faggotry. Hope you know I will find out who you are. Drack

Scammers are too useless to achieve anything else in life, hence impersonating.

It doesn't matter where we are/what we're doing. Seeing as that it's just the internet, people seem to care less of consequence. However, how could one scam someone out of hard-earned money? That's just a dick move overall. Not to mention, some (most) people work for their money. Which leads to the point that it's probably an impubecent faggot sitting at the other side of the screen that doesn't know what the value of money is.

Secondly, people need to take this "impersonating" act more seriously. You get arrested and fined in most places for impersonating a police officer. Or perhaps even a doctor. Impersonating authority in total is a nono.

Thanks for pointing this thread out to me buddy.

I had this guy add me on Skype called Alpha-NGU asking to do a deal with some of my PS3 UT coins, as i know that Alpha is a FIFA man i thought nothing of it.
Conversation went on for a few hours as i was busy and had to keep popping out.

Anyway, eventually he said he had $120 to spend and that he would buy some coins off me, using the excuse that he was a well respected mod on NGU bla bla bla, i started to think that, hang on,somethinv fishy around here, i asked him that he sent me a PM on NGU to confirm he was who he said he was, but he made some excuse that Pm's were playing up on NGU and he couldn't send one at the time.

That's when i sent Alpha a PM on here asking if it was really him, awaited Alpha's reply to confirm what i already thought.

I will see if i can get an ip address or some sort of info out of Skype that maybe help find who this idiot is.

I'm really surprised this thread hasn't been made before, because well, it's really important and should have been made years ago.
And whoever still thinks Alpha did it, why would a well respected member and moderator scam a member?

Oh and to all the new-ish members to the site, be careful who you deal with.

Good luck, hope you find whoever did it.

If i find it i will link you it.


Yea, i found one (not on here tho) but you need to be chatting to the person to find out what IP they're on, because i dont chat to him anymore i can't fin out the IP.

Exactly , what do these mod expect , will all the trolling done on this site and all the trolling done by Staff , what do they really expect

But if A mod or Admin does shady stuff they don't ban , look at all the crap carling has done on this site and he gets away with it because he is admin ,

Now they wanna ban people for acting the same way as SOME staff do

Hypocrites

It was to inform you all what has happened, and to let everyone know the consequences of doing so.



But isn't the admin who makes rules and add them to the list of rules ? I'm not sure but I think you can't jut make a rule and put it in GD

The following user groaned Ameht! for this awful post:
