It should also be noted that yellow text in the chatlog can be faked via the same method. Believe nobody until they nuke you.

I used to always joke about how people were not this stupid. Stop proving me wrong.

I'm making this topic to keep the account safety thread clean. If you have anything to say please post it here.

Another good security measure is to not use the same usernames and/or passwords between different services, like facebook, skype, other game.

And use a strong password! Lenght 8 without punctuation should be enough. The mnemonic helps, but keep a handwritten copy safe while you are not confident

See my long-time sig, mate.

As others have explained, the imposter would invite the person into a chatroom, there was only 2 people in there, the victim and the impersonator, who would write some small comment followed by lots of spaces spaces spaces until a line break is reached and then they manually wrote GM-Pandora: bla bla, which made it look like I was speaking in the chatroom, but really it was just him writing my name and pretending a GM was there.

After getting their skype info, the impersonator would send the victim a software that allowed him to see things going on on the victim's computer, and they would ask the victim to log into their bank account to 'check their balance' somehow for a future 'gm salary'. If the person logged into their bank account he would then know their pass for it, the object of course being to get money for himself. As far as I know he did not manage to get anyone's money. He also asked the people to log in game, thus getting their id and pass, and then going on said account to try to trick more people.

Good news is, as soon as a GM is out of GM hide on a GM char, you can @who them, and there'll be a great big GM status and GM level next to their name in the results.

No magic appearing proof of GM for frilldora users. :D
