Would be interesting if we create sorta meta-index of known scammers and add updates to it as we found them, like was in scam X, associated with Y, etc. etc.

Sounds like a great idea to me but Admins will be the ones to answer you. However, you can just start a thread on it and go from there. IMO

Kasey,

You are welcome to give it a shot and another Admin or I can move it to an appropriate spot.

Probably need to spell out fairly specifically the "qualifications" for inclusion in the list.

That could cause problems for people with similar names to known scammers. Eagle accidently called me pathway2prosperity in a thread in this forum. He and almost everybody here knows that I am path2prosperity and that my domain has nothing to do with Nickers Smirnow and pathway2prosperity, so I did not make a song and dance about a typo. However a simple mistake like that, could cause real problems for somebody if it got picked up by a search engine.

If anybody here believed I was an associate of Smirnow or that I had been a member the of pathway2prosperity scam, they would have had my guts to make their garters or produced some evidence to show that it was true, a long time ago. I can defend myself when I am speaking to people but I have no idea how to argue with robots.

Thanks for the advice "laidback." If a member of Interpol knocks on my door to see if Smirnow is hiding in a closet, I will keep you all informed!
