^Oh its the IP banhammer. Course thats still not a 100% guarantee, but it certainly helps.

And for future reference, we rarely have issues like this. Although 1 is 1 too many, but it is rare. And we are working on ways of keeping it safer.

Well that's good to know, but it'll probably be a while before I do it again.

I'm shell shocked.
>_<
It reminds me of 'Nam

**cpjr** · 04-16-2009, 06:29 PM

^Having flashbacks....

**NeoNightmareX** · 04-16-2009, 06:35 PM

I was in 'Nam, scariest time of my life. You know the guy from Pulp Fiction who carried the watch in his butt? We were in the same POW camp.

**cpjr** · 04-16-2009, 06:36 PM

My dad tells me stories....speaking of watches....he wears his with the face on the inside of his wrist always, says he got that from the military, would do so, so the face wouldnt reflect on something.

**NeoNightmareX** · 04-16-2009, 07:07 PM

Makes sense. I was actually referencing Pulp Fiction.

**cpjr** · 04-16-2009, 07:08 PM

^I know

**JonFolse** · 04-17-2009, 08:29 AM

I know exactly how Neo feels but I was on the other side. I sold it to somebody sent it to the wrong address (yea I know) and was out almost 300 dollars!!! ARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!

**Jordo_6** · 04-17-2009, 09:14 AM

couldnt you trace back ip addresses?

**cpjr** · 04-17-2009, 01:58 PM

^And then what?

**NeoNightmareX** · 04-17-2009, 02:00 PM

^ Sign him up for annoying newsletters? lol I would be annoyed by that.

**cpjr** · 04-17-2009, 02:04 PM

^With what, his IP address?? Seriously, it would be a job to access anything worth relevance.

**redcard** · 04-17-2009, 02:16 PM

Several websites have done way more than just banning. I'm pretty sure MMI could get his money back if they wanted to.

**cpjr** · 04-17-2009, 02:21 PM

^Its not MMi's responsibility/liability, we can try and help...but ultimately its between the seller and buyer.

It's true, its not MMi's responsibility. I'm an adult, I'm not going to go around blaming other people for my problems. It was not 100% my fault, but it was still partly my fault. It was absolutely 0% MMi's fault.

**cpjr** · 04-17-2009, 04:06 PM

^Its sucks and we hate it, dont get me wrong......But it really would be very hard for MMi to push the issue and get anywhere....I mean, what proof or legal repercussion do we really have?

cant the ip trace back to a location? maybe where the 'nibbers' lives or what ever, i dunno lol just a thought

**cpjr** · 04-17-2009, 08:09 PM

^Probably, if you were the FBI.

We would love to be able to do this, really we would. Nothing would bring a smile to my face more then having a scammer get arrested. But only the FBI, CIA, and other government protection agencies have that happy power. We could get some information on him, but nothing of real use into solving these problems.

Again, sorry guys, all we can do is ban them and work on making it harder and harder for them to come here again.

Update: I did however, do a IP lookup and got the number to his ISP's abuse line, and called them and filed a complaint. I doubt this will do much, but its about all i could do.

always a good step closer though =)
