    Default How to track a scammer....

    Some of you have been scammed before, and we have all read these sad stories.... Someone scams you, then they change their name, and now there is no way to figure out who they are or where they went.

    Well, help is now on the way. Did you ever notice that if one of your buddies on your friends list changes his/her name, then the change is reflected on your friends list? Problem is, no scammer would ever accept your friend request. In fact, often times a scammer will delete their entire friends list before changing names for this exact reason.

    However..... one little secret that not many players know is that the "ignore" list works the same way. And you do not need the scammer to accept a request to be added to your ignore list. You can add anyone to that list that you want. And if they change names? Yup, you got it! The name change is reflected on that list too.

    So if you are scammed, I suggest you quickly add that person's name to your ignore list. Assuming that your ignore list is not very large, it should be easy to track any name changes that person makes.
