Hello,
With the increasing amount of impersonators, I wanted to create a thread regarding this issue.Even though I already had a warning in my signature, it might not be enough.
Impersonators and scammers might trick you with special characters in their names or with their tags.To avoid this, you can use sites like
https://www.textmagic.com/free-tools/unicode-detector , to check if there's a hidden characters in a name or not.
For example, they can add special characters that CANNOT be processed by discord text processor so they are BLANK.This is one of the most common tricks that scammers use.

As you can tell, It's impossible to know without checking it.
Another one is the "Zero-width Space" trick.You can read
this wikipedia entry about it.
To avoid this, you can verify the following before contacting/dealing with me:
- Always check my discord name/tag and ID.My only discord is Darkness#1337, and ID: 406404196003348481 .
- Account creation date.(Only if you use betterdiscord, or such clients).My account's creation date is: 26/01/2018 02:05:10 PM
- PMing before contacting me, I will NEVER BUT NEVER refuse to verify via PMs.
- I DO NOT use telegram, I only use discord.
- I DO NOT exchange, sell or buy anything outside, or in cracked.to.
- I DO NOT have a PayPal account.
- My only bitcoin address is 1Bvd3hc4L8fc9CmXgqAqDvbGeDsgCmr4we, I will never use another address than this.
Please check/verify the points mentioned above before contacting/dealing with me and Please try to take all measures you can to avoid getting scammed.
And once again;
I DO NOT SELL, EXCHANGE, TRADE OR BUY ANYTHING.Do not get scammed by impersonators.I will never ask for your money or for you to lend me money.Beware of the scammers.Also feel free to contact me if you find anyone impersonating me.I will make a list with their Discord IDs.
