I sent Tex a message but I figure I'll post this here too.
I'm majoring in Telecommunications and there are a few things you can do on forums like this.
One of them is banning of IP addresses. Also, if a user is causing enough problems its possible to actually call the ISP and have that IP banned from visiting this site, and if the use violates his TOS agreement they can actually drop his service all together forcing him to use another provider.
Also, another tid bit of info. Your ISP knows your IP address, and if the IP addresses match from all of the posts he's made on various forums scamming people it can actually be used as evidence by the police.
So in the end, if you have people willing to help you, its possible to nail this guy to the wall. We've got his address and phone number, and should the address and phone number match the ISP's record of who is leasing the IP recorded in the posts here and elsewhere its the smoking gun we'd need to get the police involved.
I believe that anything over $100 is a felony.
Just thought I'd post this info up for you guys.
