Making a character named "Chribbe", a corporation named "SOMER Blimk" or an alliance named "Red.Frog" should definitely not be allowed and result in a rename and reversal of any scams deemed to be a result of that level of impersonation. Claiming to represent CCP employees or ISD volunteers should also lead to a ban without question. However, convincing somebody that you work with a specific organization to arrange supercapital trades or otherwise managing to convince a mark that you represent somebody that you do not in reality shouldn't result in any GM interference, at all. You should also not face potential punitive action for representing yourself from an alt even if you're scamming.
Why? Because if I was somebody like Chribba, Somer or Darknesss and wanted to go any length to protect my reputation, I'd start by listing my alts in my bio, alongside a disclaimer noting "Anybody not in he above list claiming to represent me is invariably lying and looking to scam you." All of Chribba's characters are in his personal alliance as well, which is another step he takes to authenticate his identity with other players. There is no in-game tool for players to verify whether somebody is an alt of another player, but that does not mean that they lack the means of figuring it out when they're dealing with people who take steps to protect their reputation.

Actually, I'm going to retract my bit about alts. Claiming to be somebody else's alt should not be allowed. Imagine somebody going around claiming to be you and saying "Did I ever tell you guys how much I beat my wife?" or something along those lines. Twitter: @EVEAndski

Margin trading scams depend on the mark not being familiar with the value of the items they're buying, which means that they don't know what the item they're buying is needed for. Trading should have its risks. Twitter: @EVEAndski
