Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Done, but next time have them report the pm using the report button at the lower left right, it will get handled quicker that way.

Looks like it has become a new trend to scam. I can remember, a few days ago, Vod and another guy (forgot his name) won something. But 2 new accounts emerged mimicking Vod & that guy with an added ` and thereby scammed the contest owner through PM.

Can we report this type of accounts too or only the person who is getting mimicked can only do that ?

Guess you are talking about this case. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=597152.msg6633639#msg6633639

TL;DR: bitcoinwonders010 got scammed, got the money back with the help of Vod and austin, and got scammed again...
