    There was a guy who pmed me (and he was the annoying type who repeated each sentence 5 times, since there's no anti-spam for PMs.) He claimed that Collin was hiring moderators, so I need to get on skype. I was already suspicious about the fact that some random guy PMed me about becoming a mod.

    Then, (this part is pictured in the chat log) he said I could become Owner, and my ranking up was based on how much I donated. Also, he mentioned a skype name, I believe it was something similar to minetime.staff or something like that.

    I don't see how this is a scam, as I cannot see the picture itself.
    Scamming is allowed though, unless it involves real life money then action will be taken.

    It's pretty obvious that this person is lying. There has been a lot of fake "Collins" going around on Skype, scamming people for easy money with the false hope or becoming a Staff member. Just ignore him/her.

    Agreed! :D
    Many people scam just because they're greedy for money, items, etc. You will know when you're getting scammed as it is obvious most of the time.

    CollinPotato is currently holding Helper applications. There a bit like moderators, just lower perks.

    None of the Minetime Staff will ask you to give them your money. This is obviously a scam.

    I knew it was a scammer from the start, but I just wasn't sure if "blatantly scamming people without even trying to hide it" would get you in trouble
