Not say what he's done is acceptable (far from it), just throwing that out there.

When there is any question of this nature, a copy of a driver's license is then required to clear up the matter. The PURPOSE of all this is so that if someone IS scammed, then if they desire to try to pursue this through law enforcement agencies, at the very least they have a REAL FULL NAME to pursue. Otherwise, what's the point of filing a complaint? Granted, I am not absolutely strict on a COMPLETE full name, but it has to be CLOSE. Such as "Chris" instead of "Christopher". Sorry, but if your nickname is "T-bone" since grade school that still does not suffice here as your name. Nor will "JD" instead of "John David". Sorry, but I am not going through all the headaches maintaining the BOI to try to help clean up this industry and fail to require something very basic such as, who the heck YOU really are when you do business on this site.
So yes, when members here are caught out using false names, I treat this rather harshly. And I again urge all members to NOT do any transactions of any type with someone who is using a false name and/or location info. If the name to send money or merchandise to does not match who they say they are here, then YOU need to go on full alert. The rules I have put into place are an attempt to protect YOU from others who would attempt to defraud you using the services of this site as their vehicle. If you ignore these efforts on your behalf, then don't expect any sympathy out of me when you get burned.
