    Hello guys,

    As many of you might already know, abbyh seems to be scamming dozens of DPers. Here are a couple of threads where you can see his scamming in action:

    5 Free Domains and hosting For a Limited time... Just signup with hostgator for free!

    10 free Domains by completing free trials

    And a possible-scam here soon, IMO:
    Win $20 Everyday for uploading the most interesting video.

    This guy starts an offer, gives the first few people what he promised to give, builds a good reputation in the thread, lures a couple of dozens of other innocent members to complete the offer, and finally runs away never giving them what they've earned or even return to the thread and make a reply.

    When he thinks he's scammed enough people on one thread, he proceeds and creates another one, offering more stuff and scamming more people.

    Personally, I hate this kind of behaviour and I hate this guy. Do you want this guy to be banned from DP for good?

    Please cast your vote and kindly leave a reply. Even a very small reply like "BAN HIM!", "DON'T BAN HIM" is much appreciated.

    Thanks for looking everyone.
    A scammed guy,
    Nithanth

    But, again, abbyh doesn't reply... at least till now (2.54 pm IST) he hasn't.

    p.s. I read that people warning others of scammers have received infractions. I made this post only after reading a mod's post here

    Regards,

    I guess he's done pretty bad things here, and I'm going to get him into the trouble he wants now, but if he'd come here and give his say that'd be nice..

    But eventually if he shows up scamming people more often he needs to be kicked out.

    Damn scammer. Nearly lost $500 buying a YPN invite, though I had a gut instinct he was scamming people.
    So yeah, get rid of him.

    I also have a bunch of PM's between us. He was trying to rush me into sending him the money, offering me $75 discount if I pay via egold or moneybookers immediately. I told him I'd be back in the morning, and he told me I had an hour to send him the money or the deals off.

    I don't have an experience with that user so cant say for sure that he is scammer or something but after seeing few proofs given by Nithanth he seems to me as a scammer so my vote goes against him
    Mod ban him if he is a Scammer for sure :D
