I just found out I am an IP broker and I take money in gift cards...
I still hope it is a joke, but if it is not, please make sure you contact me via PMs here before doing any deal with "me".
FYI I dont do IRC, facebook, twitter, any kind of social media, not even skype. There might be other maouniques out there, I am certain about at least 2, but there could be also people posing as me, this scared me enough to make this thread.

In general, if someone contacts you claiming is someone you know, or working for some known company or other things and is offering a deal, first you have to check him/her by going to the source.
That is an absolute necessity, especially when payment must be done outside of the usual ways towards that entity.
Far from taking money in envelopes, I, for example, have a fully registered company and pay my taxes. As a person might be hidden, but my company is not, even though the www shows a blank page :P

    How? I was contacted by jack who told me about it and even was a bit upset I dont want to sell him some IPs...

  • I was contacted on IRC and he or she or what ever that person is, offered me 512 IPs monthly for only $59.99.

    I asked him/her/it why it was so cheap and he claimed he had close to 20,000 IPs and wanted to get rid of them cheaply

    Actually, a /24 is 30 Eur a year, that would not be cheap at all. /23 is 50.

    There are many Maos.

    They are all very similar.

    There is only one Maounique.

    Haha, so that is why jack was asked for money in gift cards by mail :P
    The scammer got burnt, please make sure to file a paypal complaint about the scam and remember to check all the time at the source.

  • You should have been suspect if the offer wasn't followed by a wall of text about the NSA framing people with child porn or claims of hacking or some shit.
