    Sorry but not enough evidence. You should have played it out more and at least let him try and impersonate someone.

    It's never worth my time to let these idiots play out all the way. He likely bought that account for around $1, and likely has dozens.

    By the reports, he had at least five months of doing whatever scams he wanted without a tag. As well, most of his victims probably don't even bother to check SR. All with an alt which likely cost him around $1.

    Had you done that your time would have helped a few others avoid a scam. But as noted not enough evidence so I'll go ahead and archive the report.
