You.

Sorry. I think I still have some of AvJab's details if required.

The more detail, the better. We should be able to clearly tell who is guilty and who is innocent.

After consulting someone who is an actual real life lawyer (teehee), I'd like to ask for no official or unofficial "scammer lists" hosted on GeekHack.org, please (this is also for the related thread that came up at the same time about a scammer).   Continue to exercise the "Caveat Emptor" clause and do your due diligence in researching the people you conduct trades with.  There are tools like heatware, eBay feedback you can request, etc.  If uncertain and can't afford to lose money--just don't deal with a person you are uncertain in.  Or buy from authorized resellers.

We will post the new Classifieds rules soon, and hopefully they will be to your liking.

I'm sorry, we cannot condone these threads for legal reasons. I have posted here, for reference:

I did check on purpose, because I understand some people's desire for such lists.  Please continue to exercise the Caveat Emptor motto, and familiarize yourself with your financial institutions buyer / seller protection rules.  Also ask everyone for Heatware or at least eBay feedback.

Oh okay. Locking
