I think it's funny that stupidity may very well ruin this guy's, and maybe even his mother's, credit for the rest of their lives if you best them in court. At least until they declare Canadian bankruptcy.

lol good luck I'm sure a mentally ill addict actually has the money he's racking up here. or that trying to sue a crazy person across an international border is worth $1k.




what I really don't understand is why a card issuer would keep allowing new transactions to go through after the first bunch were disputed. that's the kind of thing you could sue them for to recover your costs.

This is a scheme to drum up interested in the forum

If I was running a message board and had to deal with a crazy guy like that, I would deal with him privately instead of making a topic about him and posting his personal info, because that doesn't seem like it would help to de-escalate the situation.

It's really strange/interesting to me that a lot of the topics he goes off about, things like talking about being related to Lowtax and Anita Sarkeesian and all that stuff, are all things that Shmorkys ex went off about too.

I read through the archived posts on that other forum. This was an archived post of people talking about whether or not to ban or unban him for what sounded like the 13th time. Nothing seems to even be archived before that (they have some ratchet rear end system where things have to be moved to a different format by hand? idk). I do not think this person has anything to do with Shmorky, most of these names he's spewing seem to come from his personal life

Anyway from about 15 minutes of that you are dealing with a severely mentally ill and tirelessly persistent individual and you probably not stop doing so until he is somehow completely incapable of registering new accounts, which probably means getting law enforcement involved which is probably going to be super annoying given the international thing

Oh, I don't think that he has anything to do with Shmorky at all. I just found it interesting how mentally ill people seem to latch onto a lot of the same theories and topics. Murder, pedophilia, becoming obsessed with one individual and then suddenly moving on to the next, the brain is a scary thing.

As far as getting law enforcement involved, I totally agree - I mean even with the Shmorky/Amanda thing we had a hell of a time getting any help from law enforcement especially because the problems were taking place mostly online.

We tried banning IPs from certain parts of Canada, now he's going through proxies in Poland, the other day it was Sweden. Tried to turn off accepting his credit card provider for a day, couldn't do that. I think the problem is he's just going to keep coming back each day until we get through to them and are able to get him flagged.

I recently switched to auth net so I am not super familiar with their tools. There should be a way to configure their afds settings to block by name. Try giving their support a call.

All I know is their afds emails me several times a day whenever the people I supervise do something stupid. Worth a shot.

Thank you Lowtax, for still providing me with stellar real-time entertainment. This is why I'll never leave you.

And thank you Ambien, for staying for the long haul, even though it must be mindblowingly difficult at times. We love the both of you.

We can call his credit service provider, but I'm not sure about the cops. We are trying to get through to the credit card company right now, and tried yesterday as well - it seems impossible to be able to talk to anyone in person from merchant services, and because we need the full credit card number and don't have access to it, that is causing problems as well. Basically we just have to wait for him to stop, go back, add up all the charges he's made, add the chargeback fees to us and then take him to court over that.

Have you considered calling his local police for a wellness check? He seems to have gone well past trolling into full blown psychosis, and while the local police may not care about $1000 in international fraud, they might care about a local citizen losing his mind. He could qualify for an all expenses paid trip to a nice calm hospital with no internet access.

We did a wellness check with the whole Shmorky fiasco and actually one when my Dad passed, and it was stupidly hard to get the police to do them. One took place in Canada, and the other the US. Basically we had to call them over and over again for two days with the US one before anything was done, and ultimately the police did nothing when it concerned my Dad in Canada. I mean, if he keeps being an issue it's definitely something we may have to try and resort to though. Thank you for the suggestion!
