I was glad I asked not to post it. If mods etc couldn't desk with it, it's a different story. Seems like many (not all) are just curious here, using as a pretext we need to know.
Imagine, like often there is 2 sides to a story, and one guy gets his name stained forever...
Glad it seems to get fixed.

If, for instance, the OP sent money for an item and the person in question now simply refuses to send the item or refund the money,  that is a scam.

Knowing who perpetrated the scam isn't a pretext. It's practical.

People can be curious as to what happened without having to know who. Just to know something to look out for...

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

What would that do? How would that let him know that the potential buyer/seller isn't a scammer??

I guess the only thing Dan could do, would be to ban the IP address.
