Rap, tried to scam me of at least 400$ and impersonated Mootie

This is the USER: @Rap

After my first and only thread I created I got contacted by someone with the discord handle: Functor#8203

He offered me files, config etc. for around 400$ which was an extremely low price for what I was asking so it looked a bit sketchy.

He claimed to be Mootie. When I asked him to prove that he is indeed @Mootie (thank god I did) he sent me this screenshot :

Now I knew this would be a scam attempt since he claimed he can't PM me because yada yada so he blocked me in the end.

But I was trying to find out who was this Functor#8203 on the forum so he can't attempt to scam any other people. Then with a search of google I found this :

He is also the only one to recently visit my profile so that's the only way he could take the screenshot and edit the name of his account to Mootie

Here is a transcript from the Discord conversation https://pastebin.com/4w3beQTx

If you want me to prove the conversation I will send you pictures, whatever you need.`

I advise you to post pictures instead of a copy and paste of your conversation. I'd also like to ask @Rap for a response.

I'd also like to quote an official RaGEZONE rule (http://forum.ragezone.com/f71/forum-rules-101410/):

Please, make a screenshot and post it here. It'll only help us with the investigation.

There is no reason to screenshot the whole conversation, it's a waste of time. These should be sufficient. If you are really interested in seeing the whole conversation I'll gladly show you everything live through Teamviewer or any similar software.

We need some RZ Admins to go undercover with alternate usernames to fish out some of these scammers. (Create fake buying threads and just see how many hits you get)

Maybe a special team or group could be created for this specific issue.

1. This guy told me that he is from Singapore and owns many rare things. He will ask you where are you from? Malaysia....... LOL.The first thing he will say is that he is Mootie (I have met him once on discord, because he wants to contact via discord).But when I asked him to use Mootie's account to contact me, he immediately blocked my discord LOL

2. In the same case, a guy named Rapped contacted me via skype, and as usual, showed a picture of what he called Premium. And constantly urging me to transfer paypal money to him, otherwise he will not trade anymore. He does have some experience in fraud.

3. He changed his name already

I will remove all posts which are not constructive (which I have done just now). This section is not meant for drama and we're taking all posts as serious as possible. Therefore this section is strictly moderated and we do not tolerate any unnecessary drama.

@wNNk Thank you, that is useful.

@AnthonyX, @wNNk, @MuzoNET
If you guys have received a PM on the forums from this user, could you hit the report icon in that PM? This way the PM will be shared between the moderators who can do something about the situation. You can find the icon here:

Stay away from those sweet sellers. Most of them take advantage of the reputation of famous developers to cheat poor people.

The user has been banned, if you find anymore behaviour like this, personally private message me with evidence and I will deal with it as appropriate.
