Trade Impostors

April 15, 2010 at 2:01 PM

Recently, we've received several reports of users creating similar usernames to others and acting as impostors and "stealing a trade" at the Trade Center.

So, TO ALL TRADERS, before accepting an offer, please check the username of the offerer. This is especially important if you're trying to trade with a specific user. Make sure it is the right person and not an impostor! If you accidentally trade with the wrong user, we cannot give your creatures back.

This notice has been posted on the View Offers page at the Trade Center.

Remember that there are NO identical usernames. Pay attention to who offers on your lots. That way, it will take all of the power away from any impostors. :) Things like this are 100% preventable by you. ;D

It's sad to see that people would do this just to improve their standing on a site, just for a few pixels. It's supposed to be fun. =(

Yes, people should doublecheck who they're trading too, but Ian, I think you should have posted in big bold letters to remind the imposters-

thursdays_dove • 15 Apr 2010, 9:29 PM

-that WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS WRONG AND MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS ARE NOT ALLOWED. Otherwise, it sounds like you're just giving them a slap on the-

-wrist. :/ It's not like someone with a completely different name was making offers on trades, they were sneakily similar names.
