Watch out! Scammers on Skype.

[Deleted member 979859]

I found out that people created new Skype accounts with almost the same Skype username as my personal one. They are sending messages to people that I sell a new course and that they can buy it now with discount. They are adding people from BHW only.

Please be aware that this isn't my Skype account. I don't sell a course. I have only one personal Skype account with my real name.

All Skype accounts related to my BHW username aren't mine.

Good idea.

That speaks volume about your reputation, you must have climbed the ladders if you already have scammer imitating you. Take it as a compliment haha.

Thanks for the warning though.

I don't thinks so. I see this very often when I'm trying to add a seller on Skype. There are so many different accounts with almost the same username.

It's already saturated bro,
I don't think I want anymore competition.

Yeah, this kind of stuff happens every now and then. It even happened to @SkyrocketSEO back in 2014.

There is one guy that has done it to at least 5 users on here, always MP sellers.

His username is @kelvinmmo1987 (not been active for some time):

My KIK (iamluan) and skype (admincls)

We have bing and adwords coupons available in stock.

There is an imposter with the skype username admincls (live:247virtuacards), he as succeded in scamming few people do not add him to prevent being scammed.

Exactly, that's why I haven't my skype on this forum. When I had ebook in the past and skype, next week i found 10+ fake skypes with my name

Only email and PM, second is the best, first is for newbies

Little harsh but that is why I have stopped using skype at all, too many clowns, time wasters and scammers.

This is the exact reason why I never use Skype when it comes to business matters. If someone needs to contact me I often use a chat feature on my website or a ticketing system. You may want to consider if you actually did create a course of some sort trademarking and listening to sight on a reputable website for sale so that it drowns out the advertisement or the publicity that is being generated by the people who have created the false Skype accounts. I would never use sight as a method of contact on a business level. Any course of information that you have provided to the public do yourself the justice of provide the information by using a paper download for free PDF files that way you can monetize, and if you have courses or information that are bit more comprehensive that also require a consultation, optimizing sites like udemy and licking them back to your personal website. You can always offer five courses on udemy and offer The Accelerated courses on your personal site. By doing so and published the information although it may not be public, it allows you to obtain some copyright rights that will work in your favor should you catch the individual in the future, and will allow Google to remove all of their information because you were technically published before they were.

Last week someone hacked an account of mine on a different forum, changed my sales thread to include a fake Skype address and was looking for people to defraud. That forum's admins/management seem sketchy and might have been involved.

Thats why BHW have protection, want to edit thread, go to moderator. It's paid only to not bother moderators with hundreds requests/day.
