Perhaps I shall explain to those whom may suffer from lack of using the brain.

90% of the post on this forum are most likely fake, and I advise you not to give any personal info, unless their post is certified, or go down to my 2nd and 3rd paragraph for more.

This forum is littered with a certain type of scammer, targeting those of younger age or an account with less reputation. The scammer normally is online and not responding particularly to those whom who are not of anything said above, especially those with high posts and reputation. Again, I could be wrong, but don't you ever trust your account with anyone, I could care less about what others may say, I would never give out an account, because with an xbox account comes and email, and he now has ful access to all of your email, unless of course you have a different password on your email than on xbox, but, again, since most of the people on the website have a low IQ, their passwords are all the same.

If you really desperately want said 9th prestige, I recommend making a dumby account (meaning make a fake account, 48 hours would be smart.), see how it turns out and if they scam you or not. Again, I am not a master of Black Ops II, I only use my knowledge of personal experiences. I hardly play the game but I do know that there is most likely no such thing in Black Ops II that would allow your rank to be increased in such a fashion, I will be open to anyone who says I am wrong.

My favorite way to figure out if someone is a scammer is to ask him some questions, if he refuses to answer, it's a good sign it's fake, I recommend making up some completely irrelevant question, but at the same time try to make it sound complicated, this works especially well with someone who is not very mature or lacking of intelligence. An example would be, "Is the glitch certified by the Norton Middleman Services whom ensure a fool proof scam will be noticed, all I need is a yes or no, and explanation isn't really needed." although that probably would not be the best example, I will edit this post when I come up with one, but I'm sure most of you get the point.

I wish the best of luck to all of you in trying to get your ranks safe and sound. If you have any suggestions for me to the add to the post, I will embrace all with open arms. All ideas are critical in a brainstorming, even if it is a fragment. I encourage you to post ideas on how from your personal experience you found out if someone scams.

Edit: Sometimes people who host for free (I found it was people who host it for free in most cases.) do not respond on purpose to messages and when you post to invite them. They might invite you, but their main goal is to waste your time.

Edit: I don't mean to generalize people here, just because if they do something in which I stated is most likely fake, doesn't mean it always is, but is highly recommend that you stay away.

Edit: Keep an eye on the vouches, if the person has a low post count and generally posts on all the posts the person they are vouching for posted in, giving positive feedback, it COULD be fake.

Edit: Greed in a person such as when they post "still need msp" or something of the sort, or greed in general, could be a sign of a scam.
