Shroud reacts to Twitch scammers impersonating him after Mixer move Former CSGO pro Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek explained why he isn\u2019t able to do anything about scammers impersonating him on Twitch now that he\u2019s left for Mixer during his broadcast on December 1. Shroud is one of the most dominate FPS streamers in the world with his skills earning him the nickname \u2018human aimbot.\u2019 The popular personality turned the industry on its head when he signed exclusively to Mixer back in October. However, since leaving for the Microsoft platform, there have been scammers on Twitch impersonating the streamer, and using his name to sell goods to viewers. During his recent broadcast, the former CSGO pro opened up to his audience why he doesn\u2019t care about those pretending to be him, and explained how there isn\u2019t anything he can really do about it. Shroud\u2019s Twitch impersonator The popular personality was in the middle of a stream when someone in his chat informed him that there was a scammer on Twitch impersonating him, and selling viewers CSGO skins. After his partner \u2018bnans\u2019 confirmed it, the Mixer star replied to her. \u201cSomeone is pretending to be me, and selling skins?\u201d he asked. \u201cWhat? How do they have so many viewers?!\u201d Still in disbelief after being unable to find the channel in question himself, shroud exclaimed, \u201cThere\u2019s no way. It\u2019s got to be banned by now. They probably got banned!\u201d The Mixer star stated \u201cIt\u2019s not my fault!\u201d before he explained how there is nothing he can do about it as he is no longer on the platform. \u201cIt\u2019s out of my control!\u201d When his stream partner asked him if he still wanted to know about those scamming, he stated, \u201cNo. They will get banned. There is nothing I can do personally.\u201d Shroud then elaborated, and said that he didn\u2019t think that most of his fans would fall for it anyways: \u201cI just, I dunno. I don\u2019t think anyone really falls for that sh*t.\u201d \u201cAs f*cked up as it is, I\u2019m in the mentality that if someone truly gets scammed by a name that\u2019s not even me, that\u2019s a lesson learned,\u201d he went on. The streamer then clarified his tough love stance. \u201cWe\u2019ve all been scammed before,\u201d he stated as he continued to be bewildered by the whole thing. The scammer had over 1,000 viewers at one point before they were banned. Shroud finished with some closing thoughts on the whole thing: \u201cTakes a couple scams to get learned. I mean to get f*cking taught!\u201d Despite scammers impersonating him and selling skins, the former CSGO pro doesn\u2019t seem that worried about it as clamping down on it seems to be an issue with Twitch. Since moving to Mixer, the streamer has already seen success as his account already has over 850k followers as of the time of this article, as thousands tune in to see his FPS skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
