Many thanks to Firek, received XIII and Ultima Underworld. Know what I'll be playing tonight methinks!

Will spread the good word about GOG and their dedication and support to their users and fanbase in my next Gaming Blog entry :)

Theta_Sigma: I could go for some Sakura tea, myself actually.
Had to look that up, looks interesting! i'm new to tea, well loose leaf tea. Big difference from the tea bags i'd known in the past. i'd drink it when i had girlfriends who drank it. Now i drink tea daily and stopped coffee altogether. i wasn't expecting that after 20+ years of drinkin it.

Iron Goddess of Mercy (a particularly lightly fermented Oolong) is currently my favorite and mainstay. But i mix it up with a current stash of Jasmine Pearls, Mint, Dazhang Mountain, and English Breakfast (i add anise sometimes). And so far with every order, i buy 10 samples of other tea. This round got some blends with Lavender ,and Osmanthus. Got a couple Whites as well. Been sticking with actual Tea, haven't tried any Tisanes yet. i had no idea Tea is what it is. And the medicine of it has become clear to me.

i bought some loose leaf from a local shop but it was poor stuff. i buy online from Two Hills Tea exclusive now. Has been good quality each time.

Very nice selection, yeah I like Sakura, it originally peaked my interest because you brew the stem rather than the flowers themselves. I quit coffee in my early 20s and switched to tea due to I needed something to calm my nerves. I was going through a lot at that time and coffee was only making me more tense. I actually prefer women who drink tea for some reason; I usually end up showing them how to meditate, or martial arts/iaido & kendo. I miss that; I kind of want to teach my best friend iaido & kendo but as she lives down south that isn't likely.

I drink two cups of tea in the morning and one in the evening at minimum.

Up until a year ago it was always English Melange to wake up me up and in the evening some weird herbal tea from our supermarket that calmed my nerves and made me sleepy. Don't often get around to drinking homebrewed tea though, but when I do, it's delicious.

Some people do cocaine and alcohol, i do teeine and caffeine.

Firek: This individual has now been thoroughly banned. Sorry it took so long, but we had to do some backend tinkering to make this work properly. A specialized team of thugs has also been sent to his house. We tried to implement breaking knuckles over TCP/IP, but our experiments weren't promising.

Anyone who's been scammed by this guy, please contact Support. For our convenience, please set the title to "Forum scam" and attach a screenshot of the PM you got from him. Also, copy-paste the code you lost, as well as his username, into the support ticket (so we don't have to figure out what kind of character-switching he has done). We'll give all those affected a code worth up to $14.99, to make things right.

We will also do some changes to the PM page to make it easier to spot a potential scammer.
holy f*#$ you guys are awesome!!!!! i think i'll be buying more games here and gifting witchers to random people.
valve is no help they let the scammers keep games, tell you your dumb for trading, then at most the scammer can't use the trade window for 2weeks (he can still gift).
again i f$#@ing love you guys and you are definitely getting more of my hard earned money

Add me to the list of people who have been impersonated. I prefer to reply before PMing for a deal, both to show other people that there is a negotiation going on, and to have the person see my rep/PM, and if I'm PM'ed without a reply first, I don't reply to the PM, I try to find a post by the messenger and pm through the forum.

Now to see what actions I can take.

As you aren't the aggrieved party per se, your options are rather limited. There are some countries with "identity theft" laws, but I don't know if either Greece or the country the offender came from do have those.

But it is criminal fraud and therefore any DA needs to act on this information if presented to the (*might differ by legal system). But that would be GOGs call as they are the one who know from where the person comes from.

My initial thought was trying to see what abuse mechanisms hotmail has in place, since the impersontor seems to like that service. Not sure if that would help, but I guess they would have a record of who was using the e-mail addresses, thus a link to the ISP, which should be doable to continue from there.
Not sure if I (or any other person that has been impersonated) am the one that can follow this, but as I've said before, the first thing that's needed is the ISP of the scammer.

On the other hand, boring day atm, and this cracked article doesn't help that much :P

Yeah, I just banned that account. Unfortunately with today's technology there's only so much we can do to keep someone out... The rep/creation date update should be ready within days, so at least there should be an early warning system in place for you guys.

That's true, although it would be nice to regex at least some of the common substitutions that people might make. It won't solve the problem, but we don't really need more jerks like hedvvards around here. :-P

Isn't "hedvvards" your own account?
