Sure, I can just ban him, but he has already done his damage. One hundred twenty six of my advertisers now have the potential to get screwed.

Believe me, we have all discussed this on our vB forum and I have a board dedicated to this titled: "Fraud SCAM Swindle & Steal."

I have an entire list of 148 different IP ranges in my iptables firewall, most all having been the result of a scam email coming in like this. I have a zero tolerance policy on this and the entire damned ISP is dumped. These are mostly in Africa and the satellite services that carry them. It's really the so called "internet cafe" envirionment, but I'm just not going to put up with them.

So, the real reason for my initial post here is to THROTTLE the damages. There is absolutely no excuse for anyone pumping through 126 email ad responses in a half hour's time.

Another one will be back, most likely within the week.
