There appears to be another account belonging to the same person who never fulfilled trades under at least two other account names. (Same hometown, same birthday, same wantlist...) 

I've already left feedback to try to steer others away. 

Thanks for the heads up! I let Admin know about this member's (at LEAST) FIVE accounts they've used to scam members here. Nobody should be able to keep creating new accounts and get away with ripping off other members.

Do you remember what the other accounts were? 

I have no proof and the suspected accounts have ZERO feedback, but based on the username pattern, would RJ4CHRIST and RJ74CHRIST2 be included in that list?

For someone who claim to be Christian, he has nice values...

Thanks for the update and for making a safer community here.

Lancollectables and Lancomemorabilia were mentioned in the feedback for lancasterscorner and have the same pattern going on.

althib, those two similar accounts are missing the hometown and "Collects" section mentioning Alabama, but they both do have 'Bama (and Auburn) as a favorite team. At least neither has been used since last year, though it's good you pointed them out so hopefully folks will be more aware of names similar to those and be suspicious (though really I hope Admin finds a way to perma-ban them).

This guy isn't as clever as he thinks he is. Each of these accounts begins within days of the last time that another one was used. 

Admin should also create a Wall of Shame section where the banned members' name and city / state / zip code are listed.  I.E. John Doe, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. That way, every member would be able to check if the member's name and address has a red flag (not just based on the previous feedback). Also, it could be a somewhat deterrent for some scammers. I think that is already done on some other trading sites. My two cents.

If admin figures out a way to stop people from creating burner free email accounts and using those to create multiple accounts on this website, we should probably give Admin a raise!

Admin might be able to ban an IP address at best. Enter the VPN to get around that. 

I like the Wall of Shame idea for extreme cases like this one.
