again entering notes: it can be supposed that he kept copy of the bill numbers and put them again with the bulldozer in the database :!: :!:

This hit streak makes both users very suspicious. All hits in series.

by luck you don't have more work than him, otherwise it would be a real challenge to resist to this kind of behaviour :cry: :cry:

Copy n paste the bills? Well that would be truly a lot of work. So what about programming a little program that reads your csv data and puts it into the database?? Thanks to the api this is just pushing a single button... He has to enter email and password once a lifetime - you to pick up his nick every cleaning event.

After the second delition you had more work with him than he with you :(

Ok, but that requires that someone is possible to write such a programm.
Fortunatly most of the fakers are not even capable to use a spreadsheet makro :wink:

Maybe I'm seeing ghosts, but the pattern is quite interesting. Self invented serials? You don't need to have a degree in rocket science to get a hit with that guy. :twisted:

Generating serials by cyclic rotation? I love the idea. However, I'd loved it more when he did it by permutation. He could have had a thousands notes today (or to be precise 11!-1+1 = 39.916.800-1+1) as he changed the zero digit to nine when it finally reached the end of the serial. We could have had millions of hits with him. Well like this the final score is only 16. Man, why can't the fakers start to think ?

Code: Select all

*marking the end of the original serial
_marking at that time 'unknown' digits or the end of the final serial
______*__________4068
_____*__________74068
____*__________674068
___*__________2674068
__*__________52674068
_*_________8_52674068
*_________68_52674068
________768_52674068*
_______8768_5267406*8
______68768_526740*68
_____968768_52674*068
____4968768_5267*4068
___74968768_526*74068
__674968768_52*674068
_2674968768_5*2674068
52674968768_*52674068
And here it is: Check 7SZbT AgbB TbB for a hit with our Estonian friend :lol: 8) :roll:
Or was it 7SZbT AObB TbB and he had to change digit 0 to 9 when it reached the end? rofl...
I think it was the latter. Phaseolus now has to ban those public serials (Je suis désolé)

edit:
I was pleased to remove the 'faking solution'. Well I prefered to censor it so nobody can use it...

From the Dutch forum:

The second user in this triple hit (j.hagedoorn@orange.nl): same location as the third user, entered it same date and almost same time, same initials and only entered 8 notes all at the 16th January.

One user is testing?

(or maybe he first forgot his login and found it back again within an hour?)
