As the GM's condone scamming why should cases like these be treated any differently?
Reputation is about the only thing you have in-game with any real value.
Barring impersonation is the only way to maintain that value.
If you want to run a scam based on built up trust, you need to build that trust yourself.
Read up on the greatest scams in Eve, they were all pulled by first establishing trust, not impersonating it.

I could argue that all spy activities include impersonating a friend of the alliance and thus are not legit via the definition that GM Krymus and the EULA gave out. Not a flawless arguement but it does bring out some questions.
Depends on how you do it.
If you pretend to be someone, then it is not legit.
If you pretend to be something, then it is.
You are welcome to pretend to be an independant player seaking to help build the alliance, when you are really an alt spy trying to tear them down.
You are not allowed to claim to be the alt of one of their members, or otherwise assume the identity of another player.
Same goes for recruiting scams, a recruiter is a something not a someone.
The only something that you are not allowed to impersonate is an official representive of CCP, be that Dev, GM, ISD, etc.

All those CNR scams you see which are really just normal Ravens... people are making Ravens impersonate CNRs - should those who fall victim to those scams be allowed to petition them and win?
Non-specific substitution is permitted.
You are not trying to make people believe that you are selling them the CNR, your are trying to get them to believe that is a CNR.
The OP's mistake was try to get someone to believe that he is the one and only Chribba. Had he simply tried to make his victim believe that he was an upstanding and trusted mediator, he would not have had any problems with the GM's.
The only generic role that you are not allowed to impersonate is that of CCP representive. Otherwise, to violate the anti-impersonation clause in the EULA, you're going to need to impersonate someone specific, be it a specific person or a specific corp.
