hey Cphil, i have a question. when you ban someone, does it disable their screenname, or does it block the computers ip address? if their screenname is disabled, couldnt they just register again and continue scamming?

btw good catch everyone!

[BobTheCow]

slade - they have the option of doing either/or. Good work Phil!

It blocks his IP... if I do an IP ban.

But people have ways of getting around that. However it's more trouble for them to do so. You need to be wary of anyone you don't know when doing business.

For what it's worth, I had contact this guy about the emag. He im'ed me back. I never looked at the feedback or anything because of the converstaion we had.

From the short chat we had, I would guess this person is VERY young. Even if it were an older person acting as a youngster he wouldn't have been this convincing.

Anyway, not sure if the seller was malicious or just inexperienced. Perhaps someone should have contacted him before the ban? I dunno.

He was contaced by me (undercover) and p8ntbalr... When I asked to see his feedback thread, sure enough, he linked me to my own feedback, rofl.

No one could really be this stupid. Well obviously they can, he proved it. I'm sure his ban was much deserved.
