Trust Scan Addition - Omniscient - Dec 29, 2016
There is now a "Matching country of registration and latest IP" parameter for Trust Scan page.
Recently a scammer from Greece has bought at least 10 accounts to CE scam by selling AGC for BTC. He either gives false code or just logs out. Normally he gets 2-3 sales before the account is flagged and closed.
Unfortunately his region matching showed "N/A" because the database didn't completely have the data. So I already added Matching Country to Trust Scan to help stop this clown from so easily targeting members.
He buys old inactive accounts so the latest 30 days doesn't show anything but 1 IP. Or he bought them a while ago and he just sits on them until Trust Scan clears the data. His ISP is dynamic too so he doesn't have matching IPs with other users.
For the past two weeks I've manually checked logs looking for his activity. Unfortunately he got 2 scam in on the day after Xmas and I just saw the account today.
I'm considering adding another parameter such as "Country Trustworthiness" but I feel that may be very unpopular.
This is the guy btw:

Great addition that will add a bit more security. I would also love to see the country trustworthiness.

Helpful addition, thanks.
Curious, is he targeting upgraded accounts or any account he can get his hands on?

I think it's kind of crazy how immoral some people can be by just scamming someone out there own money. That's a childish act. I could never just steal someone's money, and be ok with it. Growing up I didn't even want to ask my parent for money for anything. Rather work for it.

Upgraded only. The change of CE being Ub3r only has slowed him down as well.

Nice addition, "Country Trustworthiness" you mean Country Lock?

Hopefully this actually gets used.

This will definitely help users stay more clear of scammers. Now if only everyone would check the trust scam before doing deals. Thanks for the addition. And I'm unsure about the Country Trustworthiness.

Yeah this is a great addition to the trust scan. I don't personally think country trustworthiness would go down well as it may insult a lot of people but it'd still be useful.
