Looks like the idiot showed us his former account, which he's using for cheating. Please, remove them both just for punishing this very annoying person! :twisted:

By the way, do you have some kind of "Blacklist" for public Serialnumbers?
I've an Eurocoin-catalogue that shows the notes, too and their no.s are clearly to see... probably this is not the only place where no.s are displayed and hits with such bills should be worth a 2nd look I guess.

... and I'd guess that these notes cause those 14-times hits which we had last week!

I didn't even notice! Those account names match 100%. 8O Not even any invisible spaces anywhere. At least I couldn't find any. But any way I think it was stupid of him to reveal his former account (see dates for the first account). Now we can remove that also. :twisted:

The usernames are not the same, they just look the same -- the other account has a space in front of the username..

OK. It's just that "painting" names with dragging mouse didn't reveal that empty space. I guessed that there should be something like that involved. :?

Would anybody mind if I open an account "PUBLIC SERIAL-NUMBERS" where only those bills will be entered which are displayed in catalogues or somewhere else in public?
Insted of a city's name I would give in the place where the no. was found.. and maybe fakers feel a little tracked theirselfes when they see their :oops: hit with this account :wink:

What do you think about this idea, would it be helpful?

I think this could be an idea, but please be careful. It often happens that relatively new users enter those notes and are not aware that it is forbidden to enter those public serials. Therefore not everyone entering such notes is automatically a faker.

I don't know if you remember Wally's story, but he entered two such notes a couple of months ago. Wally is not a faker and got his notes via his girlfriend (someone gave those numbers to Wally's girlfriend en he entered them, without being aware of them being public serials. Please correct me if I am wrong!).
It is not a bad idea to list those numbers, but please keep in mind that those notes are not often entered with the purpose to fake!
