    Default Urgent, everyone read!

    Hey everyone, we have all recently heard of a scammer who is using a website to steal people's accounts from them. I think I may have found the culprit but he changed his name. The culprit's name is Toewizard and he is using the same website as the other website scammer.

    I would never call a person out on the forums unless people's accounts were in immediate danger and I refuse to allow this disgusting human being the satisfaction of getting what he/she wants. I have sent an email to support exposing the crook.

    Everyone beware and be safe.

    Good heads up and thanks for warning but I think sts still doesn't let you post names on forums... Write support like I did with names and screenshots I have reported this guys toons and that website a few times

    Yeah. Bad thing about this thread, is that the scammer probably checks forums.... If he knows what's good for him. When he sees is, he could go rename.....

    Ya ordinarily I would never call someone out but im certain sts will understand my reasoning and forgive my small infraction, I have tons of friends on this game and I would hate to see them come to any harm knowing I could have done something to prevent it.

    Pretty sure STS has a record of name changes tho, hopefully they act soon and get rid of this guy before he does any more damage. If he changes his name and devs don't catch him soon, he could do alot of harm.

    If I may ask how would one do this? Is he asking for PL passwords?

    judging from what I have heard people go to the site and enter their PL credentials in order to supposedly gain free plat, my guess is thats how he/she is gaining access to people's acc's.

    That would be a way to do it. Very low if you ask me.

    I understand the desire to post names, but please remember some people may be posting an innocent's name to cause grief. So, just be wary but do not go into attack mode.

    I realize I have no proof of my claims (i am on an unrooted android so I have no capability to take screenshots) other than my word so you are entitled to your disbelief. I will still stand by my word however, I was raised better than to wrongly accuse people of things and as long as I know what I am saying is true I don't care what anyone else has to say against me.

    *there is no rage or sarcasm at all in this post, I respect your view on the situation, I am merely expressing my own opinion on the subject. Thank you for posting your opinion *

    I think the best thing we can do until this guy gets perma-banned is go to his website and spam it like mad with random info and contacts. A bit low-tech but hopefully it'll get him so irritated with it that he'll give up.

    I dont have screenshots, but i saw a character named iililiililili or some sequence of i and l in cs spamming the same website. But there was another character there with random generated name(cant remember) agreeing with him and saying it worked. Thats craziness...

    I've seen this a lot, I'll be honest I kinda just sat there and warned everyone he was a scammer, pretty sure I called him the worst scammer in the world. I told everyone to report him but I don't think that I ended up sending one in. I'd say one minor solution for you devs would be to search everyone with "plat" as part of their name and if somethin fishy pops up check their chat records. Wouldn't solve the problem by any means, but it's a start.
