Unhappy Change your username?

Inside the store it says "Cost: 100 F$" but when you click to make the purchase it says you are being charged 1000 F$. Which is it :huh:

Re: Change your username?

Hmmm, your username didn't change on your old posts. This was an issue, still not fixed I guess. Reported.

Re: Change your username?

So I can take your old name and pretend to be you. Maybe it will confuse some people.

Re: Change your username?

I hate it when people change their user names. I think that their should be a thread where it should tell you when people change their usernames... and everyones past usernames. Its just away for scammers to get away with more!

Scammers will be Banned. But yes Previous User name history should be there in user profile ..

Re: Change your username?

yes... im going to develope a site like the BBB, to enroll you must give your license number, full name, full address and a scanned picture of your license. That way you know you are safe to deal with anyone enrolled in the site. If a problem arises, the two parties will receive the others information and identity can not be "fake"

Re: Change your username?

I wasnt implying that all people that change thier user names were scammers... Im just saying that it makes it easy for scammers to cover up their past, and it should be out in the open when someone changes their username. Dont take offense to my post Aerrial, it was not intended to offend you.

Re: Change your username?

sure thing. sometimes you have to watch what you say. it can be taken the wrong way.

at any rate, the reason i changed mine is because it is named after a domain name..NetProwler.com, which i am trying to sell. it doesnt make much sense to keep the old name.

also, Scorpio is right. scammers dont last long around here. most of us older guys stick together and have reps to protect. i would bet that 99% of the scammers that come in here are newbies. this is a good, safe place to be. a lot of us were here for 3 years or more.

Re: Change your username?

That makes plenty of sense. Wasnt thinking you would get offended, i guess i should have worded it a little diffrently.

Any how, a scammer is a scammer is a scammer...newby or not.... I just think it would be a smart thing to have a log of recent name changes.

It doesnt even have to be on the topic of scammers... if you dont like the way someone does business...and you dont want to do business with them anymore...but they change their name... you could find yourself dealing with someone you dont want to.
