    Sorry if this is misplaced, but a "scammer" was going around trying to sell an unusual he unboxed. I was REALLY interested, but I told him I couldn't trade unless his tag was removed. So I was wondering, what's his offence? It says he's a UHC scammer, but I don't see the report. He also says he's on his brother's account. (Common excuse) I want to get a grasp of the situation before I even think of talking to this guy again.

    He was marked for spycrab running. UHC is now defunct and all of their tags have since transferred to the jurisdiction of MCT.

    Before you tell him that, it would be a good idea to show him this: http://manncotrading.com/index.php?topic=3443.0

    Seems harsh. You guys should be able to 'pardon' legacy tags (3+ years old) if the user reaches out and appeals saying he's changed, because three years is one hell of a while.

    Tell that to some scammers who have kept active for the last 3 years and never even stopped using alts and still continue to scam. hell, we suspect some accounts to be alts of certain, but have not nuff proof of that, but their own offenses got those strands of accounts marked.

    So no, we don't think we're harsh.
