Old gaming buddy or scammer?

Question

I got a friend request from a username I vaguely remember from an old game, but now they’re asking for my email to “send pics” of something we built years ago. Feels sketchy after my cousin got scammed like this. Any solid reverse username lookup tools you’ve used to check who’s really behind an account?

Answer 1

Same thing happened to me with an old guild mate from WoW—at least I thought it was him. He asked for my email to “share screenshots,” but I got suspicious when his writing felt… off. A few years back my brother got tricked like this and ended up with his inbox full of phishing crap. This time I ran a reverse username lookup on this reverse username lookup  and found out the account was linked to a spammy forum profile, not my friend. Saved me a headache.
