Scammer is now gone. Must have gotten his 'fish' on one of the other listed scams with BIN still active.

Re:
GunBroker Support,
Greetings from Utah.
The following Auction/Scammer has been identified as a Scam on HK Proshop site. This same HK P7M13 sitting on its round table has been used in countless scams for well over 5 years. We have successfully shut this scammer down, numerous times in the past when the scammer was logging under new NR accounts, but recently, these scammers are somehow hijacking GunBroker user accounts that have positive ratings; this to give a potential unsuspecting buyer confidence that the seller is legit.
This P7M13 is again starting to pop up every other week and the scammer's other listed auctions have been used in the past as scams too.

HK. P7M13. NICKEL - Semi Auto Pistols at GunBroker.com : 949580334

Just now, as I type this message, the scammer must have gotten his ‘fish’ as he is no longer a registered user and all his auctions have ended.
Can you please look into how these scammers are hijacking good people’s usernames? Also, is there a way to flag this P7M13 by using software to quickly identify this classic picture as a scam?
Thank you,
Dane (aka: Tailflash)
