    Post in the thread you linked, your information is additional evidence and may result in the player being tagged.

    Certainly, but SR usually finds it helpful if additional people who are affected have evidence. SR likes to investigate properly, and if more than one person has information to establish a scam, it makes it far easier for them to act with certainty.

    Ok, I was just worried that it would be seen as me trying to interfere with the investigation

    No, any clarification etc is welcome. If some is then not correct, it gets easier weeded out.

    Also, If ppl find themselves impersonated, they can make a independent report saying so.

    Done! I've also updated my SourceOP thread to warn people about it.
