Exclamation WARNING: User "jsuther" is a scammer

It seems that somehow I let the scammer "jsuther" create an account back in October 2013. This person's email address is tim.copelandd@gmail.com and their IP address is from Nigeria. They have been contacting people who have posted WTB ads, and suggesting they contact another person who could sell them what they want.

I have permanently banned this account, so they won't be able to PM anymore. So if you've received a PM from "jsuther", please just delete it.

No contact with scammer, but want to say "thank you" for helping to make The Paceline one of the great areas to hang out, swap stories, advice and gear.

What is interesting is that this account was created back in October 2013, and this sat idle for more than four years before used to try and scam people.

I need to check but believe I was contacted from a WTB thread I posted. I ignored him, thankfully, bc it seemed odd. Good thing.

Likely a hacked low-use account? Was the original registration from Nigeria?
