Blizzard~ - He's a scammer, been one for a while now, got caught at it the other day and tried scamming as many as he could. he's the typical sort of scammer, not very intelligent.... uses the same old tricks, not thinking of new ways to scam.... trys to get login details before giving payment.... the usual stuff.
~
Blizzard~ made out that he was very sorry for what he had done and wanted to apologise to people.
This is apparently how a scammer apologises for what he has done.....
1 - sets up a new forum account
2 - spams the welcome threads to get his post count up
3 - invites people to add him to MSN to chat
4 - tries to buy an account at the first available opportunity
5 - tries to get login details before payment
6 - well.... not sure where the apology is.....
Here's a conversation with the new ~

Mate I don't actually need stuff like that.
First thing he did was PM me on forums saying hi. I never get new accounts PMing me to say hi out of the blue.
Like I said not very bright.

That hardly says anything.. I remember when I joined up, whenever I saw a mod or admin I'd say hi.
He PMed you before you posted in his thread then? *grin*

An effective scammer would be bright.. and his audience not very bright.
Consider Madoff.

Looks like you'll have to start over again.
An addon if you dont mind. He is usually playing,
the poor little me tactics. And make looks like he is a victim, when the others try to warn the noobs/goodwilled people to wach out of him! Or, simply using this to gain naq/uu/turn. So if he begins to whine or, turn to be extremly friendly you do better to run!

Some people are only friendly because they want something, in a scammers case would be to befriend you to gain trust.
But without knowing they are a scammer then who is likely to runaway from someone who is being friendly?
Wouldn't make sense now would it.
