I'm not sure if people don't know this or not but some account scammers may even go as far as to make an account that resembles someone you know for example:

Your wife's name is PrettyGirl1 In conquer PrettyGirll would show up the exact same since 1 and l are the same character

Yep someone tried that on me, with a space in front of my wife's name. And its been done before with accented and extra characters. It's easy, just pay attention.

Confirm using friend list, and friend/guild chat.
Check the level when you trade.
Tell them to go trade in your house LOL.
