Be on the look out for this SCAMMER!


Well it turns out that he was using the same IP for all of his accounts on DR, after he moved on from there he would switch IPs every time he logged in or created a new account so he became more difficult to track. But since he fcuked up on DR, they were able to get an street address for that IP address. Which is all fine and good except there's no proof that this person is even the right person.

Roughly my point. Most people are smart enough to change their IP after they get caught once. By the same token if you put a MAC ban on them, it may take them much longer to figure out exactly how they are being tracked. MAC addresses are much less commonly known or understood IME. It's also more expensive to change MACs regularly.

Ultimately it still wouldn't get you your proof of guilt, but it would be somewhat more effective that an IP ban.

I know.. I still just wanted as much info as possible to share with other forums. Mostly I got "who cares" from a lot of people. Oh well, I hope they get screwed. :annoyed:
 
I'm a moderator on dezertrangers where this was first brought to my attention. There was a user selling some 3.0x16 King shocks for $1000 that normally sell for closer to $2000 used. I sent him my number to work out a way to pick them up (he supposedly lived close to where I work). I come to find out thanks to some detective work from other members that he stole the pics of the shocks from someone else' ad, and has accounts on many other forums scamming people's hard earned money.

Once his IP address got banned, I got 1500 threatening text messages from this guy, who's full name is RYAN SHEPARD. He had my full name, address, DOB, driver's license number, and threatened to destroy what little credit I have as well as send "surprise" packages to my house. My local police wouldn't do anything about it, not even take down my information and the reason I came in.

Now, another member I personally know got scammed out of $1000, as well as other people on different forums that are included in the 3 threads linked below. This POS needs to be caught, and everyone in the mean time needs to be aware of who he is.

Check out the links below, and be careful. He has multiple accounts on different forums scamming multiple different people. If a deal seems too good to be true, IT PROBABLY IS!
