    Default Door scammers

    I hate them so much -.-''' In every single grabber or casino. I have lost so much money because of door scammers. Some people use dumb schemes like just trading the owner and hoping the owner doesn't check the username, but others get accounts with just a slight difference, a caps lock i instead of l, so many tricks.. Like wtf, use your brain for something better.

    Good point it used to happen to me, sometimes I used to trade without looking at the name and accept and the person would say it wasn't them but I'm sure it was them because I clicked trade.. but it was my fault so I had to double pay and make sure it was them (it happened to me plenty of times because i was too lazy to check, i mean i could have been missing lucrative bets )

    But like Kikali said their name is so similar that the clone could say yes and you wouldn't think twice is it a clone, it happened to me loads of times

    Does this type of scam still go on today?? -quite surprised-

    @atpeak; yeah that still happens, the changing little letters or adding two i's in a row (sometimes it gets too close together with the other i'' and it's difficult to spot).
