Edit: I may be wrong but I believe the droidrazr.com privacy statement also does not allow this, regardless of how screwed up this situation is.

And I assume there was 100% irrefutable evidence on your part, other than hearsay, that this person actually did this before posting all their info? Think it would have been better to offer the info to those affected privately instead of posting it on a public forum... With that said, glad you all found him/her out. I hate seeing people get scammed. Most people can't afford to dump hundreds of dollars on this crap and to see them get ripped off is kinda sad. Hope everyone is able to get reimbursed.

You're kidding right? I just spent 3 days investigating this guy. He robbed dozens of people across multiple forums of thousands of dollars. Who do you think you are, Sir? You think I would put this out there willy-nilly without doing any research on the matter? These aren't even real names or addresses. They're fake. They're being put out there to PROTECT everyone else. Ya know, there always has to be one guy on the wrong side of the fence.
Everyone should be offended by your position. Especially those that this PROFESSIONAL con-artist took money from.

Defensive aren't we? I merely asked a question and let them know that it may be against the forums privacy policy to post what is posted. Regardless of what the person did, there could be legal ramifications for publicly posting this info. What they do or don't do with that is up to the site owners Like I said.. I am glad that this has been stopped. Hopefully no one else gets screwed by these types of scams.
Ok, I don't know if you read the second post of this thread that came from Thach, ya know...the chief here. He and I worked very closely night and day doing everything in our power to prevent this guy from hurting anyone else here or beyond our corner of the Android community. I think if it really violates the forum rules, Thach can amend them for this particular case. And I also bet that if it were you who got robbed for 400 bucks, you'd be the FIRST person to demand justice at any cost. I can't believe you're concerned about the "privacy" of a guy who used over a dozen aliases across 4-5 forums to rob dozens of people of thousands of dollar.s Your primary concern is hurting this guys feelings by putting his name out there? Should I check your IP too?
Now I know where you get that title from...stick in the mud.

I happen to be one of the people who got scammed. Chase and Paypal dont give a rats arse if his address is posted on this site, the fact that people can receive this still is the important part to keep the topic on. This guy has put me and tusctwo through a lot of work and i feel like he should get a good kick in the nuts for all this....Defensive aren't we?

Yes, it actually was the Colton Lane one, the one he used to try and rip off Chuckleb0ne.Which one of his paypal accounts was frozen? hopefully the colton.lane one.
I'm sending my concerns to those above.. Not going to get into a war with you people I understand you are ticked off but there are still possible legal ramifications for posting members info publicly,regardless of what they may have done. I have searched and don't see a privacy policy for this site so maybe they need to be made aware of that as well
Dude, I get it, you don't want an argument, but you come off like a real J-Off when you come to the defense of the sleeze ball scammer. It's looks pretty crappy to the people who just had their hard earned money taken from them by some weasel. And trust me, if it were you who had gotten taken, I'm sure you'd want to see him publicly drawn and quartered and wouldn't give 2 craps about the privacy of his fake names and addresses.

This guy was a pro. He knew how to talk people and he came off like a nice guy. 1st, he was a sexy 23 yr old female who flirted with 20 guys in the new members forum before "she" put a bunch of crap up for sale. Then he was a guy who used avatar pics of babies and small kittens. No one like that could POSSIBLY be a scam, right? Plus, this forum is FULL of really good people and we all know it. We get complacent when we're used to EVERYONE being a good guy. Then one sleeze job comes along and people don't see it coming. Plus he was "paypal confirmed" and a number of other BS credentials. It was a hit and run. Make 4 accounts, join up, fit in real quick, sell your phone REAL cheap, collect the money and disappear. He did it to androidforums.net 2 weeks before us and he was doing it to android.net at the same time he was doing it to us. Pro's are good at looking like good, trusting people.Im not being mean ok im just saying that's y u dont buy from someone you dont know from online unless u know them or you can go see it in person if not stay away from it. Just my opinion. Im glad he or they got caught.

Well I think before criticizing people in a forum you should know a little about who your criticizing...Your criticizing admins and mods..
You do realise that I haven't criticized anyone right?

thank you tucstwo, this s.o.b. needs to be prosecuted to the fullest letter. I was one who was talking to him(her) about purchasing the maxx. I found too many inconsistencies in what she said. so i stopped the conversation and found that medic had actually paid this scumbag money for a phone that never existed. I called Matt who had me call Thach. I am very appreciative of your detective work in finding the true identity of this individual. I think very little of who sympathizes with such a con-artist. amen.Yes, it actually was the Colton Lane one, the one he used to try and rip off Chuckleb0ne.
