It looks like the one scammer was able to bypass our approval process by studying how we approve. What is interesting to me is that it was a lot of work for one person to create multiple accounts undetected - only to be so obvious about their scamming activity.
I take solace in the fact that we work hard to keep the scammers out and that we have been fairly transparent about said activities so that members can identify and report them as they pop up. In this case, it was the diligence of members like you and others that immediately identified him and our staff cleaned up the mess quickly after a swift ban.
Also, please note that when we ban, the IP addresses are flagged in our system, so repeat registrations are infinitely more difficult in the future.
Thanks again, we are back down to a low activity.
