Updated February 2/12/2013 user returned as 'isis'.

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!!!

It's amazing our member and the mods here are really outstanding, thanks for the heads up.
Count myself lucky to have got my money back from my Paypal payment.
 
is it possible to report him to his IP?

cut him/her off for good then?

he's an IT professional - he literally has probably a hundred IPs from different service providers and proxies. I'd rather not give too much away via the thread, as it will impact our ability to catch him in the future, but PM if you want and I can discuss further with you.
 
KEEP sticking your head up...A##HOLE..There right onto you..
EEK!...AND THERE COMING TO GET YA....:twisted:
