Not true. If your name is flagged all it does the next time you log in is require you to make a new name. I've done it a few times. It's just the same as creating a new toon with your old toon's name on a server you want to transfer to. Then when you transfer the old toon to the new server that has a level 1 with the same name, you will be prompted to change it once you try to actually log your transfered character into the game.
Basically you can do this to get a free name change with a server/account transfer on an account you just scammed, instead of paying for a transfer AND a name change.
