Got this email today:
Sent from: GameM Tony (45342)

Hello 420Monta I' m GM Tony the gamemaster are the 3rd, 4th and 5th series introduced by season 9.Non know if we ever had discussions about something but the fact is that lately on many strange things are happening BuzzerBeater in particular the phenomenon of some users pretending to steal the other teams our users (like you can also read the message written down). So we are reviewing each of our team who play for more users' time! We therefore ask you to provide your information (login and password) for qulche minutes (10-15), then you can log back on normally BuzzerBeater, obviously if you're not a "crook." From when you open this message you'll have to answer 10-15 minutes, so watch punctuality, as if there comes no response will be reported as a fraud even if you have not done nothing! Thanks and help us improve Buzzerbeater.Attendiamo reply shortly. Yours sincerely, Tony and the staff from GameMaster!

He should be banned...

Well, definitely an attempt to get your password... Apparently you're not going to reply, good!

That idiot will get banned for sure.
Is there a possibility to also block that IP so he can't open a new team from that PC?


We have both said a lot of things that you are going to regret.

I sent him a response "This seems kinda shady..." and immediately posted this message to the forum. The funny part is that he was trying to pass himself off as a veteran when he's a DV team in Italy with NO history. Yeah, I'm that stupid.

Lol...
I've seen that as well, he's already had his second match.
Well, a BB will pick this up very quickly. But thanks for not ignoring that but bringing it to the forums!!!

Edju,
is there a way for you to lock certain IPs so they can't open new accounts that easily?

Monta,
no, that quote is from Two and a half men :-)

I don't want to get into specifics of what we can do, as I don't want to give this scumbag any ideas, but trust me, we've got our ways =)

It could still be a kind of public IP, not sure how many users playing from other then their computer it could actually block some real user too. But if it is an IP of a private PC, then go ahead.
