I was recently contacted by a guy in SL whose speciality in r/l is a con man. I know this for he got a substancial amount of money from me in r/l, my stupidity. I was the one who introduced him to SL and noticed that he was in game. I am just concerned now since he just contacted me taunting me about the r/l money he stole. He is very good at what he does. He plays women mostly and is very ingraciating as all good con men/women are. I just wanted to let you all know that he is very active in SL, I know several of his alts but can not name them for obvious reasons as I can't his r/l name. I don't mind him spreading lies and rumors about me that are not true. I AM very concerned that with his very slick demeanor and computer experience that he will continue his activities in $L and possible $US somehow. Possibly with the help of others. I am well aware of how intelligent the majority of people in SL are but even the smartest can fall for a practiced man with his "gifts." Please be very carefull of whom you deal with as even the State Attorney General was unable to get my r/l money back due to the way he operates. Take care.
I posted the message and due to the unpallatble content it was moved to Notices and Well Wishes. I believe that SLer's have a right to know what could happen to them if they are not carefull so I am reposting it here again. The consequences to myself I am not sure. But if it takes getting kicked off by the Lindends so be it. I am only trying to make people aware. Again, Take Care

Sounds like he'll fit right in. :P

In all seriousness, beware of who you deal with is good advice in any case.

Sorry to hear this.
If he keeps taunting you, you can abuse report him. ;)
