Remember:

  • DO NOT do business with anyone who offers to send you payment for a higher amount than your selling price with the understanding that you'll send back the balance.

  • Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be acting on behalf of a "client" or another "customer".

  • Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be from Nigeria or West Africa

  • If you agree to accept a check payment, then do not send anything, gear or "change" before the check cleared. And be careful, if you manage to clear a fraudulent check then you may be liable for the damages if the bank finds out later. Make sure your bank authenticates the check.

  • If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is.

It looks like this email address is commonly used, the name of a thread should be [email protected]

I posted a suggestion in the Suggestions and Feedback forum suggesting that they implement blacklisting email addresses that can be used to register a new account. This would at least make it more effort for [email protected] to register because he'd have to come up with a new email address each time.

Or we could just add his email address to every known porn/spam mailing list on the net.
