Not quite sure how people fall for stuff like this, since the moment he mentioned changing my Email it became obvious, but anyway... I am not going to lie I did think this was Myhedin for a bit, but as soon as I realized it wasn't I just started trying to waste his time for as long as possible. It's quite a funny read... Enjoy!

Has this ever happened to you? Was your account scammed or did you just manage to troll them for a while. xD

It's surprisingly effective, I'm amazed this guy is still going, had him pulling the same scams the whole time I spent as a secretary too (assuming is the same guy, looks like it), the amount of people we had to verify over the years from this guy's antics is a bit disappointing really. I don't know why there isn't a warning on the email settings page, I'm sure this is something that was asked for for years...

The dude is a legit criminal and will dox people to get as much believable information as possible. He'll land himself in jail one day.

Before I had this name, it belonged to another person on Torn - who quit a while ago.
One day of hanging out on IRC (as this name) a random person starts a PM with me, asking me how I was doing after all this time and if I could send him/her a couple of billion. Didn't recognize the name and searched it on Torn, turned out the scammer searched for the name and thought he could get some money for pretending to the wrong spouse - GG.

But noone has dared to ask to change email yet, wonder how long this has been going on
Nova [1570883]

Well he had me going for a little bit until he asked me to change the email, but to be honest it was pretty easy since I fed him most of the information, such as having a loan from Myhedin.

HandsomePants has a foolproof method of not being fooled like this - if you're ever in doubt then make sure to ask him.
Michi [1922819]

I've had one try to chat me and tell me my leader wanted me on IRC a couple weeks ago. I knew right off the bat it was a scam and called him out as I was warned about it and my first month or so in the game and HYF doesn't use IRC to communicate.

Its easy to spot it wasn't the real Myhedin..

Myhedin would never say "f**k off"... he'd keep saying "f**k me" till you'd get tired & give in xP

You were sent a Hazmat Suit from Z_junior with the message: why wait, start celebrating early

Maybe he'll give you one for christmas if you stop acting like a retard all the time?

Damn...

f**king newbs...

Tip for next time who impersonated me, they should say to the person they're trying to scam "Give me your f**king money, or I'll send you my nudes"

I'm sure if they're wise, they'll choose the first one...
