He might be trying to make a quick profit off you by using your account to participate in the ripple giveaway which is worth like 0.6~BTC now. Sent him a PM with a final warning to stop spamming or get banned.

I'm sorry to do this kind of things, but I don't like scammers, and this forum is full of them.

Yeah, you get those scammers and spammers in every big forums. We're trying to keep them down though. Always be wary for any suspicious offerings and deals.

Should have banned outright. IMHO

I'm requesting a cool-off ban due to him repeating his actions.

I am sure this has been discussed before but why dont you guys let people flag post? It seems to be a good way to help keep down the number of scammers. At least make them work a little harder.

He's permanently banned for the PM spam, thanks theymos.

The OP or mods should remove the list of emails from this thread.

I think those people all have their email set to be public in their profiles.

Ah, I thought he got it from PMing people. Looks like he went through the effort of scrapping emails..

Kinda funny considering your account has 80 posts and is about three weeks old. I dunno what the theory is here, that this guy somehow only found your email instead of much more respected people's who also openly advertise it?! Or that he's just sending random blasts of spam?

Ah nm, that list looks like a fragment of the MtGox leak. Boy, they'll never live that one down will they.

I really don't know what is the use he want to do with this accounts, I just want you to be advised. Just in case is going to use it as a scammer.
