EBay scammer
I just received this question from my lens auction;
Now that site is a front for this guy that requests your eBay user name and password. He then gets the info to your account! Apart for alerting eBay, can we get this guy? Flood him with fake accounts? Any ideas? If any you computer nerds know a better way. I'm all ears! Andrew

Andrew,
Sadly, you just have to get over it. I would lovce to be able to send some sort of bomb back to all of the spammers that send me crap - I run my own servers, and it really pisses me off more than you can imagine to recieve that sort of crap. Similarly, we get a number of fake logins here every so often - usually a couple each week. I've taken steps to eliminate them from open proxy sites and to stop scripted signups, but a few morons still try to do this manually. They're quite easily identifiable because we now change their occupation to something appropriate: village idiot. But the other day I was looking to find something that could either shut down their browser or turn off their pc while executing the script, but nothing acceptable turned up. g.

The IP address is owned by a Rumanian Telco.

and an email to Honoriu.Lazar@telemobil.ro complaining of network abuse can't hurt. g.

Andrew, you are right that link you put above seems as dodgy as all hell! Have a look at the images, that guy is trying to pass himself off as some sort of wedding photographer 
Hi,
just a note of caution: By visiting dodgy sites, you better be sure that your browser software is fully up to date on fixes. It doesn't matter if you are using Firefox, Internet Explorer, <insert favourite browser>, Windows, Mac, Linux, they all contain some vulnerabilities that could be exploited by visiting dodgy sites.
