You are twisting my words, I did not say that. If an account scams, then it is a scammer account, period. I was referring to locating alts of scammer accounts and there are ways around a scammer changing their password twice to attempt to avoid detection, I am not going to go into my specific tactics however I can find if an account that is linked to a scammer is still controlled by said scammer.
Was not meant as twisting your words. Though when a connection was drawn to a scammer then it means that account was or is identical with the scammer.
Ok you can assume it was sold and the new owner is innocent. The scammer sold fast, which would be the smart thing to do for him.
Though he should know the rhythm of password changes needed with escrow trades in order to emulate it. He might be able to hold his account.
Ok, on the other hand why should he? He probably would get red trust anyway so the chance might be higher that there is really a new owner.
I only say this is a twisted situation. Not negrepping might mean supporting the scammer that might still own that account. For what reason, I don't know. For sure it would be smarter to sell fast.
