He's Mike976. It took me nearly 15 minutes to figure out how to search for him by e-mail.

No messages, no posts. Last active yesterday. Registered early October.

WHOIS cannot identify the IP address. Probably using an alias.

Most definitely suspicious.

Is it possible to identify the IP address from anything else? We really need to find out who it is, AND ban him.

Maybe I'll ask Matt.

Looks like it’s a server farm in Colorado. Ergo, probably a client using it as a VPN. I’ll send sharktech and email and let them know they have a client who is trying to scam people.

We can ban the IP Which actually… may(?) help. If they’ve done through the Trouble to set it up so that they’re coming through a vpn maybe they do only have one. They are trying to hide themselves presumably so they would mean they would probably avoid trying to use other ips. Maybe. Should ban the email too

Actually maybe I should banish them to the land of spam. They’ll login but not be able to interact lol
