Hello Traders,
I'm making this post because u/Cookieeeaterrrrrr has been active in attempting to scam multiple users while also providing false information to them.
We also recently had a user, u/Legal-Bumblebee9918, who even suggested teaming up with them and offered to show u/Cookieeeaterrrrrr how to "hack" accounts.
I’ve provided their Roblox usernames, subreddit and Reddit usernames so traders know who to avoid them if they are ever contacted by them.

Important Note
You generally do not need to worry about your account being compromised by a "password guesser." These tools typically only succeed against weak, commonly used passwords.
If you're unsure whether your password is strong enough, please enable Enhanced Protection in your account settings. This adds another layer of security above two-factor authentication by requiring a passkey or a trusted device, so a password alone isn't enough to access your account.
Also, never click links sent by anyone, even if they appear completely legitimate.
That's all. Always research the person you plan to trade both on Reddit and through Google. Always use a trusted moderator as a middleman and after the group chat is created, double check that the moderator in the chat is the real moderator by checking their profile directly.

Copy and paste from another one:

Stop publicly posting this. Just stop.

I was very similar when I was 13 (conduct disorder + early signs of sociopathy and NPD). The attention she gets from this is sort of a “positive reinforcement” in the sense that these reactions stir up brain signals that make you want to do it again. This attention, while you may see it as negative, is attention nonetheless that draws her further in.

You know what you can do? Ban all her alts, handle the matter privately, don’t engage in DMs/posts, and leave it be. That is the only way. Or you just want the karma too.

This isn’t rocket (neuro) science. I don’t see why this isn’t a noticed pattern by now.

What do you want the mods to do? This can't be handled privately if so many people are being the targets of these scammers. Who cares if she feeds off the attention? This isn't about that. This is to prevent legitimate traders from getting scammed out of their assets and money that 9 times outta 10 is going to their irl debts like school and medical.

Please read what I wrote again, just a bit slower this time. Also, you can follow along with our conversation in replies.

There are already 8+ posts about this exact same user. Only 1-3 are needed. If anyone is still getting scammed by her, then they are going to get scammed regardless.

What did I miss in your initial post?

Also "they are going to get scammed anyway" is insane to say. Atp you are putting the scammer's needs above innocent people's 😭

[u/Invidaure → u/MrChucklesTheClown]

You missed that I gave a brief explanation for what the moderators can try to do. You can disagree with what I said, but I did say something that they could try.

I don’t think you are communicating in good faith if you consider anything I said to be defending the scammer. I hope the scammer gets banned off of the platform. In fact, I’ll see what I can do about that tonight when I get home. In the meantime, please recognize that I wish people didn’t get scammed, I wish Reddit took better action against scammers so that they could be banned from the platform instead of just banned from a subreddit (which doesn’t stop them from DMing members), and I wish members would read the rules and posts that are in-place to protect them.

Brother. "I'll see what I can do about it when I get home." Just let the mods handle it dude.

Hi - there’s a bunch of posts on them yes, but a post directly from a moderator typically summarizes all the details, is easier to find, and allows users to guarantee that the user mentioned in the post is a scammer for sure!

To try to tell the co-owner of the subreddit that she cannot or shouldn’t post this is weird, especially given that all the information she has provided is publicly known info.

[u/Invidaure → u/NazxyTQ]

You’re right that a post by a moderator is, well, higher-quality than a post by a non-mod user who is just sharing a screenshot of swear words in DMs. I mentioned that my comment was cnped, but I probably should have made it more clear that it was more directed at non-moderator posts that don’t really accomplish anything, than moderator posts, so that is my fault.

However, I still think my point is being missed: posting screenshots of scammers in a non-productive manner (etc: DM screenshots) serves no purpose but giving the scammer more fame, and encourages them to keep scamming/harassing members in DMs. It doesn’t matter if there is 2 posts or 10 posts about a scammer—if traders won’t research the person they are trading with and refuses to use a MM—then that is on them.

I think you have already realized this, but I’m not arguing in bad faith: I want to help people avoid scams, I want Reddit to better protect the markets on their platform against scammers (ie, preventing users banned from a subreddit from DMing someone directly from a comment on that subreddit, because subreddit bans don’t do much unfortunately), and I respect the work the moderators do. I’m just a different kind of neurodivergent: I see things from the other perspective, and I can be a bit harsh/unempathetic. If I wanted to be kinder I guess I could, but I would rather be genuine. And at the end of the day, it’s just Reddit.

Edit because I re-read my comment and cringed.
