I have clear evidence that this user created multiple accounts with fake trades between them in order to forge a good reputation. This person has numerous web-based email services that he uses to hide his true identity and to create fake accounts.

quadoushka, scotchy, joe90 were all made by comic, all are fake identities.

Though many trades have been arranged, I have not heard of one that has been completed. He's never sent his side of the deal.

Currently there are 12 pending trades on the "comic" account. Many are for high value items.

These are all common signs of a rip-off artist.

There's some evidence that this user is the same person as "http://gametz.com/user/ataridotcom.html", another user at gametz.com who created multiple account and fake trades. Also, there is at least one case of ataridotcom ripping someone off (though that person has taken down their BTR at this point because ataridotcom has once again promised to send).

ataridotcom has shown on many occassions a strong willingness to lie and fabricate stories that somehow explain his behavior. Be very careful with this person, the lies can be very convincing. Judge him by actions not words. Don't send first to this user under any circumstances!
