All,
There seems to be a plague upon us that is known as the �10th Prestige Scam�. In other words immoral people are scamming players out of MS points and money while they promise to get them to 10th prestige, but don�t deliver. We, here at TTG, believe it is our duty to do our utmost to try to educate our members in the hope that they will not fall victim to this scam. All of our games are legit and will continue to be so. If you go outside of TTG to try to get into one of these games please be careful. Remember that it takes specific hardware, software and knowledge to perform the 10th prestige �Mod�. The number of people that have all three is very small in number. Below are some simple rules to follow.
TTG Speed�s words of wisdom � �If you use common sense you can�t be scammed�
1. If the deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.
2. If they claim to be from TTG or have TTG in their GT It does not mean that they are even a member or a honest person. Get their TTG username to verify. If it turns out that they are a member and try to scam you please let us know and we will ban them.
3. If they do not have 10th prestige themselves, then that could be a good indicator that they are going to scam you.
4. Ask in one of the TTG Shout Boxes to see if anyone has had dealings with the person that is promising 10th prestige.
5. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU GIVE THEM ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
6. Ask to get into a party with them and ask them some questions, such as:
a. What else do they mod?
b. What websites do they post on?
c. What specifically do they do to obtain 10th prestige?
This will give you an indicator of who they are. If they try to avoid your questions or if they are just hostile towards you, take this as a bad sign.
7. Be vigilant, it�s better to pass up a possible opportunity then to take the chance of getting scammed out of your hard earned MS Points or cash.
8. Look at the topic by TTG_Chase to see if their name is listed there as a known Scammer
Forums/file=viewtopic/t=17915/sid...1a8ec.html
9. A pretty good way to check is to have one of your friends here with the 10th pretige already to go into their game. Because they already have the prestige they cannot benifit from any of the XP. By having a person with it already they can check and verify if the game is legit. It should not matter to the people that made the lobby because that person has it already. I would insist on this, if they say no then they probably are scammers

Update 8 MAR 2010
There are several people out there saying that they are a member of the TTG staff. If you encounter one of these people and want to verify if thy are legit feel free to PM me.
Update 28 MAR 2010
A new type of scam has just showed up. Many scammers are asking you to give them REP to get an invite. I have found that most of these guys have multiple accounts and are just trying to look legit so they can get as much money out of people before they are banned.
Another new one is for scammers to ask you to subscribe to their Youtube channel before you can get an invite. Most will not and only do it to boost their stats on Youtube.
