Thanks for the credit... Did I provide you with a link?

I think that was Suziecue.



:oops:

that's right. (my favorite phrase lately..)..So Thanks Suziecue :wink:

Regarding to what Jaxhot said, sorry for my ignorance, the Ip of the email was 172.166.84.125. That's sure. A whois for that points to AOL in US...
And you said it was from an European Network.

As far as I know, the Ip range 172.128.0.0 - 172.216.255.255 is for US...

how did you retrieve that info (well i hope you could tell me) ?


Thkx all, anyway.

This guy keeps emailing me & asking if I'm still interested. I have also noticed him posting additional scams through craigslist. Should I just keep ignoring him, or should I send him an email to tell him to bug off?

AOL IPs are quite misleading as they all point to the corporate offices as opposed to the actual country.
Thats why the scammers like to create accounts on AOL using stolen credit cards.
AOL's chargeback fees must be phenominal.
They should be sued for allowing the use of credit cards belonging to residents of other countries by the scammers who create accounts from Romanian IPs.
I seriously doubt AOL has any legitimate customers in Romania who pay for the service with their own money.
I am quite sure that an attorney or consumer reporter or advocate could have a field day with the information.
AOL is the major reason and conduit for scams on the internet.
