You people should be mad, that these people are allowed to try again. Why are they given a tag, instead of being IP banned, and lessening the chance that these people will be able to create a new account, and try again?
Because even if he got IP banned he can just come back with a new IP. And there are more scammers than just Joey. In fact, Joey's one of the most obvious ones.
Of course, if people refused to do transactions with untrusted members except through escrow, there would be no problems. Instead it's people desperate for a few extra bucks and some rep that allow scams to continue.
Yes man, its all my fault. If they stopped getting money, they would stop trying. Because, obviously, they have much more important things going on in life, then trying to scam people out of $10. I made a mistake, I learned. Move on, and stop being such a dick about it.
You ban one IP, they come back, you ban another, and another. Even HidemyIP, does not have unlimited number of IP's, it has a list of proxy servers. Infact, since 99% of these scammer, probably use HideMyIP, once all the proxies are banned, your killing most of them off
