~Screenshots added~
A guy by the name of darkspawn asked me if I had any iron blocks or stone. I said no because I needed them to build. Then he asked me to teleport to him to "Check if the protection works". I, as a good player say, sure, why not and send request. Turns out the guy was in the nether and made people fall to death so he could loot them, even though my PvP was off.
I have lost a lot of stuff, including a diamond pickaxe and diamond chestplate, as well as a few stacks of logs, stone blocks and stone bricks.
The following happened at around 7:50 GMT -08:00 on the day this was first posted.
~UPDATE~
A player by the name of J160 has been scammed by Darkspawn too. Multiple recordings of "Falling to Death" and "Swimming in Lava" further reinforce my belief that Darkspawn is a scammer who asks people to tp to him under a false pretence.
In addition, another player by the name of Osama was attepmpted to be griefed by this player. The screenshots contain details.
Finally, Darkspawn tried to TP me to him. Again.

I hope that this evidence will prove to be useful in banning this scumbag scammer.
On a different note, a player by the name of creeperslayer also tried a similar tactic.
Bumping it, it is an urgent issue. I am sorry if bumping is not allowed, but this scamming spree going on the server is outrageous.
Since the evidence against darkspawn is conclusive, I have banned him(/her) for 7 days. However, Since it is quite possible they they and or others will do this on other accounts, It is easier to just make sure you NEVER accept TP requests from 'randoms' you don't know, And if someone asks to check a protection or something similar, that you turn on flying before accepting. Thanks for reporting this, and if you can get screenshot evidence on anybody else, please report them also.
Spread the word not to accept/turn on fly before accepting. Thanks.
Speaking of the "turning fly on before teleporting", I think that Everytime you travel to a new world, fly turns off. And Everytime you leave the server.
Every time you accept a tp request (from players you don't know) turn on your flying and no,
When you travel to a different world through tp you flying mode is still activated by one block up.

With the mod or with the /fly command? I find that it stays on unless I close the whole client.
