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?
