    Scaming a scammer is mostly a waste of your time and your moral values. You can however expose him and help others recognize him and thus avoid him. A better investment of your time.

    No, I think he is the same scammer for which I have opened this thread. I am not sure because I am not able to trace him as he has been banned almost immediately with only 11 posts but his behavior is almost similar like those 5 ids, one more common thing is (TM) in his last 2 IDs.

    I hate scammers too. But they will always be around as long as they can scam someone else. Better to move on unless you can identify him/her openly.

    Sorry for the delayed response.

    No, my original thought was that this guy may have not known he had products that were a result of a scam. For example, sometimes i'll have articles written for me, but then I turn around and resell them here. To make sure i'm not offering an article that had been stolen I use copyscape and a couple of other methods to verify it is unique. Others who sell things here that had been purchased from others may not be donig the same, and as a result look like the scammer themselves.

    I wasn't referring to you at all. Obviously this is not the case as it was dealing with money trading. I thought it was VCC's though. He obviously has to know that these accounts are not his own.

    the same does not apply here. he isn't asking if he should kill the scammer. eye for an eye is what he's asking about.
