looks like an anti-matrix guy...however, he is violating the rules because he is keyword scamming.

Should we have peterdragin train him and bring him on board? Of course, we would need to have him follow our rules.

That is not a bad idea, maybe he can give us some additional information as well.

With all the aurguments I have had with peterdragon over what is keyword spamming I think this would be considered spamming.

What makes me wonder about auctions like these is are these sellers really trying to help other people or are they just trying to make a quick buck for themselves by acting like the vigilante? Saying here I will tell you all you need to know so you arent ever ripped off agian but you have to pay me for the information. I mean if they are really trying to help people shouldnt they just give away the info or for a really low cost instead of trying to profit themselves? If you look at this persons other auctions you will see most are at $4 and up. Who is he really trying to help others or his own pockets?

He has been reported many times, he stopped for awhile and I just checked and reported this latest bunch of auctions Mon.

I have have some mails back and forth with this guys and he said is doing the anti Info thing for the money.

He has sold a few but he won't sell many more before he gets booted.

Thanks peterdragon for the honest reply about the guys true intentions...

One more question it may be off topic but im not sure: do you know if he has actually ever been burned by any of the "scams" or if he honestly just picked up the e-book somewhere and decided to make some money with it? Im just curious...

I never asked if he was ever scammed but I do know he also reports a bunch of info auctions when he comes across them.

The main thing he does is report the Bogus sellers from spain etc. sellers of Plasma Tv's and such, so he might have got bitten by one of these guys.
