Scammer impersonating me to compromise WoW accounts. [email protected]

[shenghu]

There is a scammer running around using the MSN ID [email protected] to compromise WoW accounts.

I believe they are also using the SN GhulamMustafa92 (mine is GhuLamMustafa922)

The scammer is also using my rep to try and convince people to give him their account info first and then stripping the characters of gear/gold.

Imposter is also using an anonymous email program to make it seem as though he is sending emails from my TWV address. If you encounter someone who you think is an imposter, send an email to the TWV address and ask them to paste what's written in the message.

Id like to say thanks to Shenghu, i waited about 24 hours as something didnt seem right. I dont even know shenghu and he emailed me promptly telling me the situation, luckily i didnt hand over my account to the poser. Someone is using his good rep to scam accounts this has nothing to do with him.

Also:

I made sure i got a email from the trustwho account but the poser is using a anonymous email program so it appears to be coming from Shenghu' trustwho email. However he will wont use the email for transactions/conversation because he cant see the emails sent to that address.

He uses [email protected] for all conversation and says he prefers it.

He has very bad english too.

Apparently it's a user who went by the name "Nidhoggur" and the AIM "Getwhatever, Capcomftw" and whatever other aliases he uses.

I just called him out on it and he laughed. I have his personal information, and while I know that I can't pass that out, if you feel that you've been scammed through Paypal for real $$$, let me know, I'd be happy to help with whatever legal info you need.

Still ongoing. Contacted me yesterday. English fairly decent from our communication, makes me wonder if he's US based. Any way to trace his loc based on email headers?

His IP should be in the headers... just run a trace from ip2location.com. It won't be detailed but it will give a general area of where the IP is located but that doesn't mean that is where HE is located. He could be using a proxy or SSH tunnel.
