Is it really necessary for this to be a 'News' item?
I have to agree with Cyan on this one. This isn't news. All he's looking for is attention, and all you're doing by making this a front page news item is giving him what he wants. It would have been better if the mods just shut him down and didn't make a big deal of it.
One of the mods could get his IP address (you CAN see those) then either DNS it or look it up through the vB software, and get his hostmask. Then wriggle his ISP out of that, and then tell his ISP the little scam he's been trying to pull. See what they think of that.

When editing cards in the first post of a thread, PLEASE leave the original so that everyone can comment on the thread and not just those who saw the original. Those who did not see the original can't leave comments as we don't have any idea WTF is going on.
Colourless mana comes FIRST! Try actually looking at a Magic card some time. It is NOT UU3, it's 3UU. What game are you making cards for?
I can no longer tell people to check their card names, because I am made of suck and fail.
sad guy. Who confirmed it was a scam? I mean, sure it is a suspicious message, but nothing in that message explicitely yells "SCAM" at me. I am assuming the spamming did it. I hate spammers.
I think the biggest problem is definitely the spamming, but also important is the stupid claim:
This is not a hoax or spam!!! My loss is simply YOUR Gain!!!
It is obviously spam if he is posting it redundantly on multiple web sites, and also most likely a hoax then.
Thanks Goblinboy for helping to keep everyone informed 8^)
Dont worry, we're about to send a cease & desist to his email and home address. If he doesn't abide, we'll get florida to put him on death row
Well, I know he is not going to be put on death row for this, but seriously if he does not stop you should really consider notifying some higher authority there has to be something illegal about this that could put this person in a ton of trouble. Someone already googled him and you already have his info obviously and his address so he could be fined or something I dont know laws really but I know he should have something serious brought up against him.

This guy did the same thing on the MDV forums.. but luckily I was home when this guy was posting.. and was able to delete each thread and ban the guy. Some people just don't get it.
I only hope that all this hate doesn't go to some guy that does not have anything to do with all these posts.Some jackass could have just nailed him.The jackass could probably find out all this info about some student from china at harvard and make them look like the jackhole.I think the whole let the mods check it out and take care of it now that they are aware of it is the road to follow.
I need someone to come tutor me in Lakeland, FL for the GMAT. I am really struggling to get into Stanford MBA. I need someone who has already scored a 650+ /800 on the GMAT. I will pay $50 a hour for the tutoring. I want this tutor to have taken the GMAT within the last two (2) years and have teaching experience with the GMAT. If you know of such person that has also the capability of traveling to Lakeland, FL to tutor me, I would be more than happy enough to pay for the flight as well as hotel accomodations for the tutor. In addition, I promise I will pay $50 a hour for the tutoring. I require the tutor to tutor me for at least three (3) weeks before I actually take the real GMAT. I need at least 100 hours of pure GMAT tutoring.
Thank you!!!
Call me or email me quickly, please. Thank you so much in advance. - Danny.
Danny Cheung [phone number]
P.S.: If money is a problem, I may well accomodate by paying up to $60. I would need to know the GMAT tutor's qualifications and teaching experiences. I need at least 100 hours of tutoring in Lakeland, FL!!! (Edited 9/25/05)
this guy is everywhere, he posted spam on the marketplace over at the Wizards. community boards like a couple of days ago. man this guy is annoying.8^)8^)8^)

I have returned! Hide your children and lock your doors!
but the constant barrage of emails I get sent from intelligent friends that are forwards along the lines of 'Microsoft is doing XYZ, forward this email and Microsoft will send you $XZY'
Those are not intelligent friends.

Not really. The only thing people from MT can really be "blamed" for is putting fake cards in the Rumor Mill, but that's died down recently.
(Pssst. That's badguy. You know, the dude that got 10,000 posts at MT before getting banned.)
Thank you. It was indeed him, and the account's now banned.

I wouldn't have called him. Giving him attention means that he'll keep doing things like this.
This guy's too dumb to be at Harvard. He'd probably post on this forum if he hadn't been banned 80,000 times. But wouldn't it be funny if this guy is for real and he just blew all of his money on tutoring or something and needed the money? I don't really know all about eBay, but he is claiming to loose $6,000+ on this deal. Are the rates that high? Why didn't he say $7,000? That would still be a could deal for what he is "offering."
doesn't mean they can't think up new ways of harrassing people. no matter how 'mature' they try to make themselves look, they will always be children.
Don't you EVER get tired of harassing people from MiseTings and going on about how petty and immature they are, while they seem to be doing nothing to earn it? Guess who really looks petty and immature in that situation?
