Hi Ethan,
It could be easy to find all topic from this spammer, as I wrote he is using the same hyperlink. If you run search for that text string over all topics you should be able to identify and delete all of them.

He's back this time with a different website link, same scammer, same system, same tactics block anyone who has exposed him previously in his threads before they even have a chance to comment and warn others of his scam.

Could possibly start by not allowing demo accounts in 'Trading Systems' and a compulsory section that states broker name, account number and investor password.
Education is the best defense, people should know not to invest in a demo account claim, and insist on an investor password so they can follow the system for a few months before investing / trade copying.
As for the spam emails, best bet is to block them is spam filter... not much you can do about an email address that's already out there. (you can filter all emails coming from people not in your address book, and then when you have a chance, white list emails in the spam folder that are legit).

For every loss there should be at least an equal and opposite profit.

This is more than spam, it's likely fraudulent and thus criminal. Since the spammer has given a US address if I was Ethan I'd contact the relevant authorities.
i'd doubt that is real adress ,like everything else about him or them it's fake

Was this the fake myfxbook from Synergy broker?
Looks familiar, I am sure we sent this one to the quants for analysis and they determined it most probably faked.

Sure, but it would get the right kind of attention as US authorities would have to look into it...
agree 😄
