It is actually true that you are partially responsible for this. If you just changed your discord after 1 month of having a new name and somebody took advantage of it, it was still your discord shown in your profile. Same would happen if it were my discord, and I forgot to change it on my profile. You may not be active but you replied to him, instantly, so you were not away, offline, busy... or anything else that would make it impossible for you to change your discord from your profile to the new one.

 

Being careless when it comes to your contact information can get others scammed. 

Anything posted on your account, as per the rules, is your responsibility. That includes your contact information or contact information you no longer own. It is assumed that the contact information displayed in your profile is your most updated piece of information and that, if checked and confirmed that there are no special characters added to it, it's still owned by you (because nobody can have the same exact discord name as you, while you still own it)

 

That makes you liable to refund or compensate OP and whoever got scammed, for 50% of the amount they lost. 

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the matter. However, I respectfully disagree with your assessment of my responsibility in this situation.

Firstly, I would like to clarify that I changed my Discord name displayed over Nulled in response to the impersonation attempts, not after a month of having a new name. Secondly, while it is true that my old Discord name was still displayed on my profile at the time of the incident, I had previously warned others to verify my identity before conducting any transactions with me, earlier in the afternoon.

I understand that you are looking for someone to hold responsible for the scam. As I have explained before, I have taken steps to prevent impersonation attempts, and I have always been willing to verify my identity to those who ask. However, I cannot control the actions of others who choose to scam people and deceive them.

It is important to note that the scammer in this case was very sophisticated and had gone to great lengths to impersonate me.

I do understand your point about being careful with contact information, but I do not believe that I should be held liable for the actions of a scammer who deliberately deceived users.. As I stated earlier, I have taken steps to prevent impersonation attempts, such as adding two-factor authentication to my account and warning others to verify my identity.
I’ve communicated with the mods team as soon as this occurred, to not let this get through.

Furthermore, the person who scammed you had taken advantage of the situation and used the contact information that was displayed in my profile. 

To emphasize : there is a 5 hour gap between the payment made to the scammer and me failing to verify with @GTBenja, which in itself speaks volume.

Additionally, I would like to point out that the rules of this forum state that each user is responsible for their own posts and activities on their account.

However, this does not mean that I am automatically responsible for any scams that may occur as a result of my profile information being outdated or incorrect, this in the contrary means that every users should approach transaction with the uttermost care.

No rules establish any responsibility for outdated contact details, on the contrary the rules clearly entices users to deal via PM.

https://prnt.sc/PXn3WkNHn4fL

That's another thing that I want to point out. Why not ask for the ETH/BTC address by PM ??

It is ultimately the responsibility of each individual to verify the identity of those they are conducting transactions with.

In conclusion, while I understand your perspective, I do not believe that I am liable for any losses incurred due to the actions of a scammer who impersonated me. I am, however, willing to assist in any way I can to help resolve this matter and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

I asked for proof it was him. I sent code but no reply as he said he was not on pc. He asked me to check Discord handle shown in his profile page here on n.to. I cross checked and it was all the same. His Discord handle on his profile page was Giulion#4537 so was the guy on discord.

People acting like you never had the same Discord Handle. I learned from you that always check Discord Handle @Lucas. The two ppl had exactly the same. That was the verification method used.

That said, @Giulion explained. He forgot to change his discord handle on the profile and somebody else took advantage of that and used that discord handle.

One can argue that I should have used the DM to verify, but who would have thought that he had forgotten to update his Discord Handle (pretty preposterous, if I may say). It's a perfect alibi unfortunately

 

What I don't understand, is : Given my quick reaction to reply to you, Why didn't you try to elaborate on what was happening?

I'm not ubiquitous or omniscient, I had no idea what was the message about at the time, and 1 more message would have confirmed my saying immediately and prevented this situation to happen to you.

To continue what GTBenja said,

Shouldn't it be the user's responsibility to keep their Discord info updated? I initially considered his account got hacked when reading this thread, it's silly to hear that he just changed his name and forgot to update his profile...

Sure, it wasn't @Giulion who did the scamming, but it was under his (unique) Discord name that he had set on his profile (image provided by Castiel).

 

I remember one of the staff posting a thread being like "verify their Discord profile by copying their Discord from their nulled profile and searching for it in Discord, and seeing that their Discord pops up". Unfortunately that was a ~year ago, and I can't find it. But that should be verification enough.

He should be held accountable for not updating his profile.

Why does it seem silly to you? Do you think I spend 24/7 on this forum, and that the first thing that happened in my mind when I changed my #, which is totally irrelevant in my life is : "I need to update it, on very specific boxes Profile over Nulled " ?. I did update it, on my threads that I do business on, and on my guide in my signature. I didn't even remember there was a way to display my discord name. 

You have a clear bias, which is to think that I could have foreknown this situation would have happened, when I bought a nitro upgrade and updated my name. I don't blame you to think this way, but it shows you have little to no capability of empathy, meaning being able to put yourself in my shoes.

So if I follow your logic, you should have known better, and should have reached out to me. You are to blame here as well. Why shouldn't you be held accountable since you didn't reply to my enquiry about someone impersonating me? This could have led to me finding out about this dude way earlier and possible spared @GTBenja his 100€.

And I can't be held accountable for people's recklessness and lack of judgement. 

I also want to end this by saying that someone, is having a good laugh at me justifying for his scam and at @GTBenja cause he fooled him. 

@Lucas can you close please and remove @PyCord neg rep? 

It iis ndeed true that my Discord handle was Giulion#4537 for almost 5 years now. However early in February I purchased a Nitro/Nitro boost for my Discord Server Soez Bot, and changed to my name promptly after to #0009: 

https://prnt.sc/7tGm5hnQQpgJ

I updated it on my relevant threads and guides which are the only business I'm involved in at this time, around this date : https://prnt.sc/ROfEFzW5OGv5  https://prnt.sc/bLEcb8UUps3i

Yesterday, at 03:05PM I received an email saying that I had new message over Nulled from you @GTBenja, asking me to verify. I was phased because I never talked to you, didn't know what you were talking about and was confused, hence my reply :https://prnt.sc/plY1twXmRnUX

I didn't think much of it, UNTIL at 06:19PM I received a negative reputation from @PyCord, saying that "I tried to scam him" : https://prnt.sc/plY1twXmRnUX

Once again I was pretty much confused and tried to get more information about the situation but didn't receive a reply from him : https://prnt.sc/1QOf4KCHviSF

AT THIS POINT, I knew someone was using my name and trying to abuse people with my reputation, name and picture.

I swiftly enquired in sb for mods help, in the person of @Eminem informing him that someone was most likely trying scam people with my name. At this point I updated my sig, precising that I ALWAYS ACCEPT MM AND VERIFICATION and also my discord tag. 

I went over my parameters on Nulled, to check if I got hacked and I noticed that Discord username hadn't been updated on Nulled since I updated, which immediately raised my suspicion and awareness level. I swiftly updated it so no one else would be fooled or taken advantage from this.

Then I started investigating, I was unfortunately not helped that much by both of you but I've tried to find some information on how it could have happened, so I looked for my old discord name to add him "as a friend', and there it was : 

https://prnt.sc/tei7i7qFaAUe

Someone was using my old # and profile picture and name. So I saw that this mfer has a friend in common with me so I reached out to him to help me find more information. 

https://prnt.sc/xO9Q_xWCG5hi

UPDATE JUST NOW : apparently it's this guy or he is also impersonating him : https://www.nulled.t.../2990123-lixy 

https://prnt.sc/h7Iqbhv29qS1

https://prnt.sc/I2HeJ6lf54na

https://prnt.sc/OepAWv1ayvbg

So apparently either it's a serial impersonator or it's this guy mentionned above. 

Finally, sorry again for your loss @GTBenja I want to make something clear. My only mistake here, was not to update my Discord username in february, when I purchased Nitro, and I'm sorry you got fooled by this but ultimately it doesn't make me a scammer.

For mods/users of Nulled : be careful as I'm thinking it's possible some people are scraping the Discord Username from nulled profiles and registering them to scam unsuspecting people.

I'm sorry to hear that you believe I scammed you, but I want to make it clear that I have not engaged in any fraudulent activity with you or anyone else.

In fact, I have been the victim of impersonation myself, and I have warned others about it since yesterday, as soon as you adressed me a verif message, which is the moment I learnt about this situation.

Unfortunately, some individuals are using my name and image to deceive people, and I have been trying to stop them. I am always willing to verify my identity to anyone who asks, but it is ultimately up to individuals to verify that they are dealing with the real me.

I also want to mention that you were clever enough to send me a verification message that I did not fully understand, yesterday, as I had no idea who you were and what was it about. In response, I simply replied with "???" as I was unsure what you were referring to. Unfortunately, they still managed to deceive you into thinking that they were me, even tho you had the reflex of doing this. 

Additionally, I want to let you know that I have added two-factor authentication to my account on this forum in order to prevent any hacking attempts. 

I want to emphasize that I only have one Discord account, and I rarely use Telegram. If someone claiming to be me is using a different account or platform, then they are definitely not me.

I hope that you can understand that I am not the person responsible for your situation, and I am willing to help in any way I can to resolve this matter. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist you.

I encourage you to PUBLICLY release any information you have on the person who scammed you, since it was not me.

I would also appreciate being able to see screen captures, phones numers attached to the telegram or any other relevant information that could help me stop this impersonator

I understand that it can be frustrating to be scammed, but I assure you that I am not responsible for the actions of others. I hope that we can resolve this situation amicably, and that you can understand that I am not the person who scammed you.
