Hello !

Just wanted to report that someone seems to usurpate my nickname to make fake trading propositions.
He is named rivd0ric.

Someone contacted me via chat to alert me.

If an Admin/mod see this thread, could you please ban this person ? I wouldn't want to get a bad reputation because of this.

Thanks

This has happened to several people and Admin isn't going to do shit. The best you can do is remind people and bump this thread as necessary.

Some go for more than that. I've heard of them pretending to be long time forum regs and snagging a lot of stuff in return for what turn out to be bogus codes.

but, hell... gog forum/chat/social layer is just lacking any basic feature such as member search...

even old phpbb engine did that

rivdoric is just right to make a whole fat thread for that. would every scammed or impersonated person do a single thread each of them for that, maybe moderators and webdesigners at gog would think twice so the whole place dont get clogged

Contact support anyway just for giggles, they may do diddly-squat.
Mod would be great ,that ain't happenin'
Short of that send a message to a blue...EG: JudasIscariot, carn't hurt.

Whack up a note on the scammer thread too.

All these comments about Gog supports are funny and somewhat scary at the same time.
Well, can't do worse than Steam support anyway... i guess .... I hope ?

For support concerning game problems and purchase difficulties, you're in good hands. For forum stuff like this, you're on your own.

Best of luck with the problem.

Good hands, my own experience has been mixed, i wouldn't say it was good.
Doing nothing isn't changing shit, not saying this will, but it won't hurt.
At best you waste a few mins, and maybe get back a utterly useless reply.
Feels like paddling up shit creek of late, more voices and all that....
Ok, so hope springs eternal.....

Actually, I've read a few people have been successful contacting GoG and getting the impersonators banned. Worth a try.
