    Yes this is true. I tried it. You will get an email after 5 failed log-in attempts.

    this is what the email says:

    Someone has tried to log into your account on Digital Point Forums with an incorrect password at least 5 times. This person has been prevented from attempting to login to your account for the next 15 minutes.

    The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

    Smith15, simply open the NEW PRIVATE MESSAGE form (you can do it by clicking on anyone's username in this thread by the left mouse button and choosing SEND PRIVATE MESSAGE TO...) and rewrite your username in the "Recipient Username(s)" part. As you are writing it, DP will show all possible usernames starting with the letters you already wrote.
    Hope the explanation will help :)

    I know You. You Are A Talented Designer. No Need To Scam On DP.
    Can You Mention That Idiot's Ip Address. So I can Tell You Where He Coming From :)
    Also Ask For Admins To Track His IP And Look for any other logins on that IP.
    WE All NEED TO KICK HIS ASS.

    Thanks for all your concern guys but the one that you all should feel sorry to is none other than investawise since he was the one who got scammed. Damn that jokomamaimta!

    @lejka - Thanks for the tip. I guess all the other designers should start searching for their impersonator as well over here, especially those with long username like me. :(

    Original jokomamamita and me , both won the contest of this contest holder and I have received my payment. I feel really sorry for contest holder. Admin should ban that user right now, I think that scammer should be kicked out from dp.

    Scammers will always exist unfortunately. I got scammed with an ebook recently, the guy sold an ebook that he didn't own (it was another member's ebook) and he described it diferrently that it was. So for these 2 reasons I asked for a refund, he said ok and then went offline. After about a week I opened a dispute over at Paypal, he said no, so I escalated the dispute only to receive an INSTANT mail from Paypal saying that they solved the problem and that they can't help me.

    I wanted to call them, but it was only 20$ so I didn't do it after all.

    Here is an explanation

    I was a good forum poster here

    One day I have got this thread and I have sent him a pm

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1574357

    What I have got is to post on dp and he will pay me money for that

    Its was just a spamming nothing else so i have reported to dp Admin


    and I have posted on thread

    [
    Thats amazing price you are paying.

    What this man is asking is to

    POST / SPAM ON DP AND GIVE HIM ID AFTER 200 POSTS.

    Immediately ban require on such users

    Reported to moderator
    ]

    Then another Friend of a thread owner comes to post a message on this thread

    read post of

    krkbkk
    -------

    And I got banned , just because Someone was asking me to post on dp like a spammer and I have denied and krkbkk is having lots of post and I was new

    Did dp have given me a chance to explain?

    Have dp seen my pms?

    NO

    Still krkbkk is enjoying dp

    I have done this so that more people can read this as soon as admin take
    action agaist this krkbkk

    I will empty my paypal to owners, i am not gonna build a palace from $25

    One more thing dp ids are being sold at BHW and I have a list which ids are being
    sold there.


    Are all the rules for newbies only? If you are having lots of posts then rules are not made for you?

    That is excellent advice. As a CH the last thing I want to deal with is fraud.
