So I tried to get the fake MMO-Armory.com skype to get banned. no luck so far. Contacted Skype via forums, they told me to e-mail. Contacted them via e-mail, they gave me a live chat link. Contacted them via live chat (transcript copied below), they asked me to e-mail again. Hopefully they do something about it. I've done my part.

There is an impersonator out there that has been using a very similar Skype name to scam multiple people out of sums up to 2500 Euros. This has been going on for over a month, multiple people have reported his username for abuse but nothing has been done.
Known Skype IDs used by this impersantor: MMO.Armory MMO-Armory.com
MY real skype ID: MMO-Armory
Please ban those IDs. Especially MMO-armory.com <-- as this really looks as if it is an official Skype ID from my website.
