Fake Oath server

They are pretending to be OathRO, using the same logo as OathRO, and pretending to be OathRO staff in the discord. Notice how even in the screenshots, they are copying the OathRO discord logo.




Notice the same logo on their website:






For comparison, here is our discord logo, it is the exact same:

And if you need to compare, here is an invite to the real OathRO discord server if you need to verify: https://discord.gg/35NGxa6G



While OathRO will be renewing, it will be under a new name and will be effectively rebranding. Pretending to be Oathkeeper or other members of OathRO staff, or even the same server and claiming to be a reboot when it's not us is false and deceitful. How OathRO died due to Oathkeeper's actions is already enough damage. Please make sure opportunistic vultures don't scam people in an already bad situation who may be unaware and are attempting to use RMS as a platform to advertise their scams on.

Unfortunately, there is no "fake" xyz server in RMS because servers are allowed to have the same names.  There are in fact servers running with the same names.

If it was just a server with the same name I wouldn't care at all, but they are specifically pretending to be the old server by saying things like "OathRO has reopened and this time for a decade" whilst impersonating staff from the original server and taking logos exclusive from the original server that they do not own. That is what they are advertising themselves as and it's just flat-out untrue.

That's not something you do if you just want the same name. You do not need to lie and claim you are the original server and are restarting whilst pretending and impersonating other people. That is extremely suspicious to deceive people like that by pretending to be something you're not, no? Nobody with sincere intentions of starting a server with the same name does that.

I can't even check the website, it is blocked by my anti-virus / anti-spyware software.  So they are delisted for harmful reason at this point.  Won't be looking into the impersonation issue until it is clean.
