Troll Alert!

[Socalgal]

Thanks, Imperion1!

Please be extra careful especially during the holidays, folks .. they seem to come out more during these times. Don't let good judgment be swayed by that "too good to be true" deal. Take the time to check references and it could save you alot of trouble.. and money.

It's also a good idea to check your own Heatware evals every so often to make sure the deals listed are valid. If anyone has knowledge of faked or impersonation of Heats, please contact me or anyone at www.trollhunters.com and, of course, heat@elitehardware.com

Happy Thanksgiving.

New info on JDaves

His newer name at anands is techman007.

An SRS search on netsmog.com and hardwarepub.com brings up this info. We believe this to be either "Daves" new name or an accomplice:

aka's: Rippin, RaZor, HotRoder2000, BoNeZ, iamanewman, BlinkMan or JDaves(and many others). Lives in Canon, Georgia and may have an address in Hartwell. At least 4 people are out because of him. Makes evals for himself using his other aliases.

Here is some more info thanks to anands mod from this thread..
http://forums.anandtech.com/arcmess...threadid=308938
here is his website and forum
http://www.inside-hardware.net/ [/b]and at his forum Blade2077, ShyGuy, ebduncan and RaZoR(one of jdaves aliases) are listed as mods. Beware of those as they are banned from anands and now here too.

There may have been some fallout between the gathering of trolls at the inside hardware site as jdaves now backs a site at http://www.athlonplanet.com, this is still the same troll as has been identified before.
*has yet another site www.hardwarepub.com

Some of this info is in a previous post/s in this thread.

Be careful, folks!

RE:

Hall, Ben aka Skorpion1G, DooFY, Shadd Price and more recently Void at hardocp. He may also be using the name of
Price, Shadd. Lives in Fairmont, West Virginia. Had major problems with many traders and lied about actual shipping dates 2-4 times to each. Getting the deals completed was very difficult and he was rude to several he was very late with instead of being apoplogetic. Most were eventually taken care in 1-2 months but at least one remains.

Please note: Joseph Kohan aka jkdude has been selling ram in association with Ben Hall aka skorpion1g and had similar problems with communication and delivering ram to traders.

Please be very carefull if you deal with either of these guys. see here for more info

Troll busted

The sad part is the number of victims and the amount stolen before he was apprehended. Well, I'm sure he'll have lots of time to think about his deeds. I'll bet Bubba can't wait to meet his new celly

Thanks for the link, Jammer53

Thanks SoCalGal! That's right!! Get 'em!!!!

I learned from my dealings at the other site to be much more careful. You were a help to me then (though it never got fully resolved), and if I trade here I will be, like I said much more careful.

Glad to see that you are on the case though.
