Reported as we were chatting - not the first time someone has tried it, but the first time they were actually married to me IRL :-)

Just report this to staff and we ban this scammer/spammer on site, he exists purely to extort and scam people out of IRL funds. He will either try to convince you to RMT with him - which he has nothing to offer - he literally just spams and scams - or tries to phish your details and use that to access other things which he might be able to turn for profit or simply steal.

This is obviously never your spouse/friend/faction member - it's always the same guy who has no main accounts on Torn, they only exist to spam/scam, they're quite well known to us - they've made many thousands of accounts.

To those who genuinely do just hand over their details, I genuinely hope someone else has control of your own finances as it's genuinely baffling why you would ever hand over your account details. Never do this.

I got a message from the producers of Pointless last week. They didn't want to offer me a spot(obviously) they just wanted my details, was I dumb for handing them over?

A year ago I had someone claim to be me twice actually. They sent me the messages
I think Iribuya had this happen too

Its rediculous but pls be careful. Dont fall for this
revstevew [2175299]
Bogie's team are normally super hot on things like this, I think it's the third time I've had someone try it with me, twice it was my Faction Leader who was helping a mate, could I send them all the faction funds please - this time it was my RL wife who is also my in game wife.

Haven't ever fell for it, but almost felt sorry for him picking to impersonate the one person who wouldn't need to message me in game

My man has pure hatred for the game.

The sad thing is, if they do this thousand times and someone falls for it, it can be a big hit. So they just keep on trying.

Sad ppl

Champion: i am
Treena: its me mug here
Treena: am using this I am a phisher multi please report me. atm (the original phrase used by the guy was along the lines of ‘using a fri-ends account atm, seems it was automatically changed to what it says here)

This idiot is persistent, I think he does this same shit multiple times a day. Its either this exact scam or pretending to be your leader/co scam.
Z-Pac [1992605]
Is this the same guy that has been trying this scam for years? Based on what Bogie said, it seems likely. That is exceptionally pathetic.
