Scammers can change their names, but their win/lose ratio remains unchanged. We cannot undo what has already been done but if this becomes widespread, scammers can't scam using their dummy accounts with their pathetic win/lose ratio and won't risk scamming using their real account. And yes, like I've mentioned before, there are still loopholes that scammers can exploit and in general, scammers do USUALLY have lower ratios.(prove me wrong?) While it isn't foolproof, the win/lose ratio is still a very basic indicator of his trustworthiness as a trader. You would have doubts about trading with someone with a very bad track record (0.1 with less than 1k wins, since there's little need to win with a dummy account) and offering a deal too good to resist, wouldn't you? Essentially, it's about stereotyping and associating one's win/lose ratio with one's integrity, as wrong as this may seem. Prove the other party wrong and offer your card first as a sign of good will, if you have no intention to scam. Let's take you for example. Under what circumstances would you offer your card first? Someone whom you trust and have a stake in this game, or someone who seems like he's got nothing to lose?
