Tom,

That is actually a possibility if the IPs are dynamic. The likelyhood is slim but nevertheless..........

Just go ahead and post the IP's. We already know that one of the guys is a spammer so it's no big deal, and if they are dynamic, there are no privacy issues to worry about.

I'll do a check to find out who owns the block.

Good ol' mic230coupe has not logged on this site since 5/19/05 @ 12:43AM. I check that every day to see if that changes.

So, it was Eric that was posting here and on other sites as mic230coupe and signing Mike even when asking general questions? I have found posts from over a year ago by mic230coupe that are all signed Mike.

So let me get this story straight. You're saying your roommate who goes by the name "Eric" is selling bogus merchandise and then requesting and receiving payments made out specifically only to your name Michael Foley...and you have no idea what's going on?

People just send you money for no rhyme or reason on any given day of the week? And you accept it with no questions asked ontop of that?

Something is definitely going on, and most likely I'm guessing, you're in cahoots with your roommate.

As the days go by I find more and more to substantiate that this is the same person. Over on MBKlasse mic230coupe had all the stuff for sale and brabusCcoupe posted in those threads, and also the ones listed here. There is no way possible that brabusCcoupe can say that he never knew of mic230coupe before this thread. He even asked if it was available for pickup, and my thought was "sure, come into the kitchen and get it"

The whole

If he were telling the truth my opinion is he would've been back here.

A. Call the post master to see if a forwarding address has been left for "Eric _____"

B. Contact the police

C. The operators of this forum and request their help in identifying or distigushing between the S/Ns, IPs, local, registration info, etc.

Can the mods, just ban the scammer's IP? Can't imagine what he'll do to the next poor soul who falls prey to his lies.

If I was local, sure as hell, that's what I'd do. But since everyone he scams is not local. It's not likely to happen.
