Many of us have received the spam email from this new "member". He also signed up under "panoss" and has been banned from our site. We are reporting him to his ISP provider and hopefully his site will be shut down.
Very important: DO NOT REPLY TO HIS EMAILS!! If you do, he'll have your email address. Unless you reply, he won't have your email address.
He has been banned by IP address so we're hoping he'll give up and go elsewhere.

Susan
As you know I was one that asked you about this "spam"....but why try to have his site shut down?
This is a free county to have a business and to have it online...ban his IP address from your site(that might work but it doesn't always) but maybe you should leave his site alone.

Speedy, you weren't the only one who emailed me about this guy. I had 25 emails waiting for me when I got up this morning.
Why are we reporting him to is ISP host? He signed up twice on this forum, attempted to register a third time, and harassed our members with spam. An ethical business person would not use such unethical means to do business. If his ISP shuts him down, it's his own fault. All we are doing is reporting him. Guess he should have considered his actions more carefully. Sorry, but I have no sympathy for him at all.

Sent all his info to you Susan.
No reason why he has to exist. If it's spam, there is no reason why we have to get it nor deserve a single bit of it.
Even if it's a "free" country, there ARE limits of how free you can do things. And I am sure there is a limit of how tolerant you can be against everything in life.

Spamming is Illegal !!!! seems like a good enough reason to report him to me !!!
no one knows for sure that this person even has coins forsale, or that anyone purchasing from him would receive what was purchased..
spammers and acammers seem to be interchangeable terms.

It's all very simple really. The forum is Susan's baby. You mess with the baby, you feel the wrath of Mom.  |

Is that why they say "if Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody gonna be happy?" |

I received the e-mail, felt uncomfortable about it, and deleted it immediately.
