Edit from Quinlan: This person posted his email address here for the so called 419 scams. For the ones wondering what what 419 scams are:

Many people know the 419 Scam (named after the Section Number of Nigerian criminal law that applies to it) as simply the "Nigerian Scam". The ruse appears in many variations but the basic premise remains constant; con artists mass email a letter in which they hope to dupe the gullible into divulging personal financial information that will enable the tricksters to withdraw all the funds. Often advance fees of one type or another are involved as well.

I actually figured out since his information is from kaspersky-labs.com. This has been registed recently as part of the scam. The reason they use this name is cause Kaspersky.com is a virus software company and they guess people will trust this.

Ofcourse the User is now permanently banned and the email addresses removed from the post.

<Thanks to google for providing this information to the M-Team ;) >

Yeah i think that does the trick. For people worried about this person and his post. We give him time to explain his action and otherwise action will be taken in the very near future

He was using an open proxy so he's IP banned on that proxy at least. Not user banned though.
