    If your a webmaster and operate a forum, you know the hassle you get with spammers and scammers. I've accumulated a lot of IP addresses of these folks and thought some of you might find it useful. I've do a membership site and scammers have created fake profiles and paid with stole credit cards. I had to do something. Maybe this will save you all some headache. In my 403 error page I put this message,

    You have been blocked from our service. There's several reasons for this. You may be operating from a ISP or IP that is known for fraud, spam, and other such activities. If you believe this to be an error, contact us at .

    I hope this information helps you.
