    Just recent when i changed my name, i thought "if someone got their
    account scammed, and the scammer changes the username, the person
    doesnt know whats his account is and cant login"
    Maybe you can still have your named changed but you can login through
    your old account till 10 days.

    They could always use the Lost Password route and get their username etc. sent to E-mail.

    If somebody got their account scammed, they would know the scammer's new account. How?

    1) If a PM was sent to them by the scammer, their original name would't show up as who sent the message, their new name name would.

    2) If a topic was made, you could check that same topic and narrow down what the username was changed too.
    Their original name wouldn't show up as who posted the message, their new name would.
