Hi everyone,
I wanted to pop in for a minute to explain why we have removed the names that were posted in this thread.
I'm actually going to quote Adrian, who summed it up rather nicely in this post:
Very often, the names, phone numbers, and addresses given to anyone by a fraudster is a real name, phone number, or address. But whose information is it?
Well, most often, it's another victim. It's not the fraudster.
I can't stress enough that by repeating that information in the Forums or elsewhere, you may be unknowingly victimizing or re-victimizing another person. Individuals whose information is used in these scams repeatedly receive harassing phone calls, letters, emails, and in some cases, wind up in physical confrontations with people who think they're the scammer.
To all of our members, please don't track down, contact, or confront spoofers or fraudsters on your own. In most instances, the person you track down has nothing to do with the fraud and not only are you harassing them, but if this is the real spoofer, you could be placing yourself at personal risk. Do the right thing - if you have information that you feel can lead to the arrest of a real fraudster, don't confront them yourself. Give the information over to the local authorities and let them take care of it.
Your life, liberty, and well-being aren't worth losing over an email.
Olivia
