My problem starts when he doesn't answer my pms since mid January, that's the problem. You can check the australian MWDA forum and see the same, even after a local Battlemaster offered to me the middleman in this argument, so if you be kind to talk to him, let him know he shouldn't run from this problem.
This thread is here for almost a month, Magpie has logged several times and he never posted here, so I can only have one conclusion.

He is hoping that this thread will disappear suddenly so he can continue scamming.

Republic,you might even be Magpie in disguise.

The reason why I think Republicfrog and Magpie are the same people is because:
-Both look for the same type of units-RotS uniques
-Both are from Australia
-Republic claims to trade a SSw unique,and Magpie doesn't need any SSw uniques.
-Republicfrog's registering date is Feb 2004,and this thread appeared in Feb 2004.

Funny you don't have a good trade thread with Magpie's feedback. And it's really curious your registration date, if you are really Magpie it would be easier to reply.. I just checked on my Massage tracking and last time Magpie logged in was 03/08/2004 3.29. Your post was done just 5 minustes later, isn't that a coincidence????
Guess we have a nike II here, people, deal with extreme caution with republicfrog, AKA magpie, from Victoria, Australia.
I have his name and address so if any of you has any doubt, you can pm me for that information.

Wooohoo! I am Detective Lowzeewee here now!I cracked the link between Nike and Hawkbob54 and Billynyf and now,I have broken this link as well!I rock man...any private detective wanna hire me?lol.

I better go warn the traders in his thread...

Ok Columbus....but you didn't walk alone on this one :grin:
The 4 reasons you gave I already had them, but I remembered one think as I read your post. Checking magpie's last time in the Realms and the date of republicfrog's post here killed the subject.
QED

Yep,but this wouldn't be the end,this is just the beginning,watch out for him again next round.

It won't be easy for him, as he has an eye from Asia and another from Europe. I was considering closing this issue on the australian forum but after this, I believe his true nature was revealed...

You are right, the IPs and provider match for all but the last byte. Sorry for your loss, but consider this person banned.

Woohoo!Case 2 solved by Lowzeewee the great.

Cheers to lowzeewee

I don't wanna sound like an arse lowzeewee, but I was the first guy to expose Nike as Hawkbob 54 and Billnyf. ;)

O_o But both? ;)

Just to keep you guys informed, finally magpie replyed to my pms in the Aussie's MW forum. Apparently it was his fiancee who did that tricky stuff regarding the new user defending him (I find it strange, as only 5 min passed since magpie's loggin in that day and the post, as I said before). People in his local forum also put some pressure, refusing to trade with him if he didn't answer me, but I saw some complaints there regarding his trading behaviour. We are talking about a guy from Victoria, Australia. I'm willing to give the full name so if you have any doubt please pm.
Thanks again to all you people for keeping an eye on this issue.

That fiancee stuff sounds like the typical "it wasnt me but my little brother" lame excuse. Do not believe it.

@Harcroft and lowzeewee
While its good to have vigilant people here helping us moderators and of course the other traders spotting rippers, there are really more important things then to argue who spotted whom first :-)
