Firebrand9: For posterity, the same scammer also made *another* account (ljy0un with the same avatar as ljyoun) to social engineer the key out of me via confusion. He deduced that ljyoun was the winner and contacted me while I had my chat turned on. This should probably be reported or logged to the scammer wiki.

Here's his attempt, for documentation :

grab a screenshot, contact support and explain (linking this thread). Hopefully they'll lock that account down.

That motherfucker is crafty.

I refuse to have a hand in giving poor firebrand another migraine with my crap, but I am not letting up on this asshole.

I wish they'd just lock the IP down.

Yeah, do what Sachys said.

Also, this scammer was too late to even try this, just based on the time that Firebrand announced that the key was awarded.

I'm amazed he didn't go on an angry PM tirade on you for not giving it to him, he's been known to do that too.

Should this be added in some "Known Scammers" topic, so that way people know? I really don't like the idea of some random person going around the forums pretending to be me.

Most definitely, and also the fake you should be added also, but there's nothing that can be done without gog actually getting off their asses and doing something.


Should report him to support also maybe if we get enough people on that scammers ass they'll do something.

Yes, definitely. Announcing the sort of social engineering tactics they use will eventually leave them with no tools to work with until GOG proper can do duplicate IP/sockpuppeting checking and subsequent banning.

Okay, is there a topic you can link me to for this?

Hey, Firebrand, is it possible that you could supply that screenshot as evidence to whatever "Known Scammers" topic pimpmonkey sends a link to?

It's already done, so it goes to whoever. But this thread is linked at the point where I mention it, so hopefully they'll read through and forward it to the person you mention.

Hope the real guy got that game redeemed before the scammer did.
