Dear VC:MP Development Team,
I am writing to bring a critical case of persistent impersonation, content theft, and masterlist abuse to your immediate attention. My team and I have recently rebuilt our community from the ground up after a devastating data leak, and we are now operating under the server name Grand Theft Auto [ The RockStart Experience ]. Unfortunately, a malicious individual with a long history of toxicity and hacking across VC:MP is now actively duplicating this new identity to mislead players and sabotage our fresh start. I respectfully request your help in removing the fraudulent listing and restricting this repeat offender from exploiting the masterlist any further.
The person responsible is a player known as Shadow Reaper, a member of the =VG= clan from Punjab, Pakistan. My history with him began during the development of my previous server, Grand Theft Auto: Karachi City, where he was given limited access solely for early scripting assistance. When personal grudges emerged, he turned hostile and leaked our entire server database publicly — an act of pure malice. I immediately severed all ties and permanently banned him from our spaces. After that, I chose to move on completely, rebuilding everything from scratch so our community could have a clean environment, which is how Grand Theft Auto [ The RockStart Experience ] came to life.
However, Shadow Reaper's behaviour has only grown more unhinged. He is widely recognised across VC:MP as a disruptive element; he has been officially banned from multiple servers and is strongly suspected by many administrators of using Aurora hack tools to gain unfair advantages. His reputation for toxicity and targeted harassment follows him, and now that he cannot access our community, he has resorted to cloning our very identity. He has registered a fake server and placed it on the VC:MP masterlist not only using the stolen assets from Karachi City but also deliberately copying the name of my current server, Grand Theft Auto [ The RockStart Experience ], to confuse our playerbase. The fraudulent server is running on an Optiklink host with the IP address 194.58.66.199:6959. This is a calculated attempt to impersonate us, divert traffic away from our legitimate server, and damage the trust we are trying to rebuild with players.
The duplication extends beyond the name; it is built on the foundation of data he had no right to keep, and it is advertised in a way that directly mimics our brand. This causes tangible harm by splitting our community, creating confusion, and forcing us to constantly defend our authenticity. The masterlist is meant to be a place for genuine creative experiences, and allowing a notorious hacker who has been banned from many communities to operate an impersonation server undermines the credibility of the entire platform.
I therefore urgently request that you block the server running at 194.58.66.199:6959 from the official VC:MP 0.4 masterlist immediately. If there are any measures available to flag the host or the individual's identity to prevent him from simply re-registering similar fake entries under the Optiklink range, I implore you to apply them. I am also separately reporting the abuse to Optiklink's Discord server so that the hosting account can be investigated and terminated. To support your review, I am fully prepared to supply logs, chat records, witness statements from other server owners who have banned Shadow Reaper, and direct comparisons between our authentic server and his fraudulent copy, which will leave no doubt about the impersonation and data theft.
