Some Odd Scam

Today, a player called 'torcool11' joined my server saying that there was a server exactly the same as mine (every block the same). Another player called 'liamswantee' joined as well and pretended to join that IP, saying it was true.

I tried joining the server that was 'the same' on an alternate account but couldn't as I got end of steam. What I noticed was that It said that my alternate had joined and left my server meaning that it was some kind of redirect. MCBans also told me that my alternate was logging in from that IP and not my IP. The server they wanted me on apparently had 49 players.

The two kept trying to convince me that my main was whitelisted but not my alternate and that I should join using my main. They also said that I could sue that server for about $1000 US because they copied me ...an obvious scam. I apparently 'lost $1000 US'.

One of them spammed the IP in chat and then they both left the server.

I still don't know what that IP could have done/did to me or what they were trying to do. Does anyone know?

I remember liamwantstee from one of my server...He didn't seem to do much, but then again we didn't have an enormous spawn worth stealing at the time.
