Chris, I admire your persistence in helping people, but "Kevin" didn't come here voluntarily and confess. And, sorry, but I don't buy his change of heart/new leaf nonsense.

He sounds Indian and, call it a culture thing, but the conversation doesn't come across to me, an Indian, as one in which he has seen the light and learnt to distinguish between scam and marketing. Kudos to you for your efforts, shame on me for my cynicism, and may you eventually succeed in your efforts.

Nonsense... OUCH!

Well, time will tell. But he did agree to have his confession posted on the forum. I thought it was best I do it vs. have him come out because my experience has taught me that he may come to a forum and have stones hurled at him -- which will make him feel more justified, vilified, and can tend to impede any chance at redemption. But, look at it this way... It will definitely be harder for him to scam anyone else when I have him ADMITTING that he created fake user accounts, fake sales data, etc. I have it written from "the horses mouth". But, I am optimistic he will change given the opportunity.

When a scammer changes his/her ways we should try and support their effort with forgiveness and assistance. We should also keep an eye on them and hold them accountable to their promise of change. When I get more form Kevin I will post it here so we can keep an eye on him.

I have helped dozens and dozens of scammers change their hearts over the years, lets see if Kevin can join them in reformation. But I do hope, on this forum, we can extend him some grace. It is hard to publicly confess your wrong-doings, it is something we all don't often do. So, let's try and give Kevin (another) chance.

Kevin, good luck! We will be watching (and helping)!

Obviously you are free to spend your time as you like, but I have many things I would rather do than spend time reforming a con artist, especially since he seemed to be doing it for fun and profit, and not because he was having trouble feeding his family as you had hoped.

I'll reserve judgment on his new desire to do business honestly, but I would be very careful if I was considering working with someone and uncovered a track record like his, no matter how willing he seemed to be to change his ways, and I don't think there is any circumstance where I would buy a site from him.

It will be interesting to see if Flippa reinstates any of his accounts. If I were them, I wouldn't do it. He can still sell his sites on DP or your soon to be released marketplace, and they have enough problems with people shill bidding, hyping up auctions, and providing false information without letting the few people who they actually caught back into the system.

Grace and forgiveness are hard to come by online! :-)

Forgiveness is one thing, accepting the words of a complete stranger at face value when they have a spotty track record and offering them all the free assistance they need to turn themselves around is another.

This is why his confession is publicly posted, so he can be held accountable. He has admitted to "scamming" and has promised to change his ways. We will see.

He's back!

Christopher, have you reformed this scammer, or is he up to his usual tricks? Since the BIN is set at less than 6 weeks profit, I suspect that this is a scam.

And here's another listing from this guy: http://flippa.com/auctions/100425/Sc...s--Low-Reserve

Christohper, I assume he has fallen off the wagon again (and so do a number of potential buyers if you read the comments), but I really would like to know if you are still in touch with this person.

Hello, all informations regarding traffic, proof of income ll be provided to the Auction winner of course prior to receive any payment by my side. This is to avoid me answering to all your questions that are really endless.

LOL, I refuse to answer your endless questions!

[benitez17]

If he answered them once, the questions would end. However, I think it is likely that he can't answer them in a way that would prove his claims, so he doesn't have any choice but to stall.

[christopheravell]

I have contacted him to find out what the issue is and to let him know that again, another account of his will be banned.
