Slashmolder · 03-17-2009, 07:19 PM

A person with the AIM of SlashMoIder1 has attempted to scam multiple people and has actually scammed someone. If he tries IMing you just ignore the guy. I am the owner of the AIM Slashmolder but, I never use it. My AIM has nothing to do with my name on CN at all. I rarely do trades so don't expect me to even have something to buy or sell to you.
This does not just apply to when you are trading with me, it is for all other members. Make sure you get a confirmation though someone via PM on this website before you trust them. I always try to keep my trades though the PM system. That way there are logs of exactly what both users said and what IP address they have. This makes it much easier for the staff to trace down a scammer.
Please note it is a banable offense to impersonate a staff member so if we catch anyone trying to do so we will ban you permanently.

Thank You,
The CN Staff

Edit: Here is a great elaboration on this by Sc4fpse. BTW: CNuke WAS A JOKE. I don't want any more pms asking me why it won't work or why your points aren't going up on clublive. If you actually close the bot with the X in the top right corner you will see a messagebox displayed twice which will reiterate on that.

However, the amount of PMs I got from people eager to buy the accounts shocked me. All of the PMs (and IMs...) I got were from people who honestly thought the accounts were real. One PM is funny, two is slightly disturbing. Six warrants a thread.

USE COMMON SENSE IN SALES/TRADES HERE.

With as many PMs as I got wishing to buy a fake accounts, even when it was BLATANTLY OBVIOUS that it was a joke, given the posts in my thread, it's no wonder so many people have been getting scammed here lately. People, COME ON. If it's an amazing deal, it's likely a scam. Really, there isn't any better way to put that. For the most part, you can look at a member and tell whether they are legit or not. For the most part, anyone who has a ton of posts and has been here for a long time (Note: 200 posts isn't a lot. 1000 is about where I'd draw the line) is probably safe to do business with. When you start dealing with these people with lower amounts of posts and a more recent join date, you really have to be careful. And DO NOT judge somebody on their reputation. You see all these threads where people hold contests or give things away -- things that cost them no more than a few bucks at the most. Those threads get people a ton of reputation for absolutely nothing, and then when they make a FS/FT thread, then people get the idea that they are legit just because they have a good amount of rep. Not necessarily true.

If you don't research the item you want to buy, you'll get scammed (Hey, all you people who PM'd me asking to buy CNuke accounts: WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?! First off, the bot was public. Bot your own. Second, had you EVER heard of CNuke before? And third, it was April 1st (or shortly after, but still, think about it.). What were you thinking?).

If you don't research the other person you're dealing with, you'll get scammed.

If you think rep means a person is definitely legit, you'll get scammed.

Use your brain, people. If a deal is really good, it's likely it's a scam.

Personal opinion here, but I'd try to avoid doing business with newer members as much as possible. We've banned multiple scammers in the past, but people do end up getting back under a different IP, and we don't always catch them right away.

thanks for the heads up

Ryutso · 03-17-2009, 07:24 PM

Thanks for the heads up man.

Good thing I keep my AIM private so he can't IM me.

Slingshot377 · 03-17-2009, 07:26 PM

It is always wise to ask for a PM to confirm one's identity.

Jason · 03-17-2009, 07:27 PM

isn't it also a federal offense? the guy is prettymuch pretending to be you,

He tried to get me with the TraInn account I'm trying to sell yesterday and that's exactly what I did.

...I'm not sure how he planned to scam me because I sure as hell wasn't going to tell him the password before getting my money. All I know is that as soon as I called him on his shenanigans he went offline (I checked with another AIM account so I know I wasn't just blocked)

Slingshot377 · 03-17-2009, 11:42 PM

Shenanigans... I like that word

BTW why does this always happen to Slashmolder?
We need a "Slashmolder Fan Crying" video. Now.

zuneune · 03-18-2009, 08:28 PM

That post kind of made it seem like it was you though...

sweetdreams · 03-18-2009, 08:39 PM

thanks for the heads up but i rarely do any trades here

Dan · 03-18-2009, 08:42 PM

I always do trades and I know most of(or all) of the staff's SN's and I never go first with a nub, so I think I am good!

Thanks for the heads-up anyway!

I'd love to see that video. As for why it's me I have no idea. In real life I also have a tenancy to get people to hate me for no particular reason. It must be in my nature or something... I'm pretty sure slashmolder.gets.slashed started this with that whole Microsoft retail thing.

guyperson · 03-22-2009, 01:01 AM

Shadowlink · 03-22-2009, 01:13 AM

How about getting me a refund for the seven dollars back I spent because of the Cnuke post in the sub bot preview section. I sent chewy a pm but I didn't get a response.
