Troll Warning! WebRatt

[Crazy Chuckster]

Just a friendly heads up. The user WebRatt http://www.hardforum.com/member.php?u=121843 is a known Troll.

He is using a PM scam to try to sell unsuspecting members 7800 series video cards.

He got two people that we know of so far.

See more info about him here http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=399563

Chuckster, from the link above, a few bells went off in my head. This is the exact same M.O. and similar info as found on rmenkins recently here. IPs don't match, but both resolve to the same ISP in Florida.

I confirmed that he had no posts but 22 sent PMs (admins can't read PMs, just see stats on them). I went ahead and banned him, but everyone he's contacted should be warned.

Look like the same guy. Damn....

If you could please post or PM me any addresses or IP.
