hey folks! sorry to deliver some bad news, but a scammer that we've done our best to keep tabs on has yet again returned this forum.

We have caught him here before he has done damage, and I hope it's the same again.

The user currently known as "ASTALDO" has been discovered to be the one and the same user as GOATRIDER, and most recently as aklass and cees and blubook.

IF YOU HAVE A PENDING TRADE WITH THIS USER, PM MYSELF OR ANOTHER MOD IMMEDIATELY!!!

lol I read it like that too at first, then realized he's just saying for everyone, a good site award for people who have become trusted members of the community. (good for quick glances when trading, knowing that we (HDN staff) have accredited them as a trusted individual)

its my avatar now but if you made it a trophy I will exchange it for the first trophy awared and have it for a week VIP ;)

back to topic :emb:

BIG thanks to Che on the spot of some details that helped find this guy out.

We have some additional information about this guy that I won't share here. Took a while to find him this time because he hadn't scammed anyone as far as we know.

IF YOU HAVE A PENDING TRADE OR TRANSACTION WITH THIS ACCOUNT, PLEASE PM ME OR ANOTHER MOD!!!!!

This account, along with other accounts are still active on other forums.

Please be careful if you trade on other forums.
 
Why does this person continue to troll here? :( I mean I've seen people create one extra account and troll but this guy continues time and time again with new accounts. I mean there's a point where you just gotta move on. EEK!
 
Judging on the usernames he's dutch, it's good to see you have such a close eye on this sort of thing.
I got scammed a couple of times, once by someone who forgot he bought something of me a couple of months earlier. Was well worth the drive up there^_^
