And you chose to publish it here? If so, this is very appreciated and we can help you put pressure on TPM to issue a revision.

I have followed SaidIt for a while and post sometimes under anon accounts when needed, but it's one of the only web forums in the world now where you can quickly register and post an urgent story without jumping through karma reqs, age reqs, overzealous mods, IP range blocks, captcha hell, etc... great stuff :)

Yeah the Reddit in-group signaling and other barriers to entry are too high, but that’s not to say the same thing doesn’t happen on saidit and/or here.

By the way, I was scammed out of half a million dollars by a formerly prominent Reddit user - u/go1dfish - not a year and a half ago. They’ve virtually disappeared off the face of the internet so I haven’t been able to resolve the issue and am living in squalor as a result. If you ever hear anything, or know of anyone who might be able to help, please do contact me further: e@tesos.net

You're right it can eventually happen to any forum or community, that's kind of the catch I suppose.

I will definitely look into your scammer and let you know ;)
