-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Marco, and all the others who have made positive comments about Metal-escrow, Thank you!
I apologise to all of you who have been involved in this nasty attack. We recently had a hand in preventing a rather large fraudulent trade and the thwarted criminals are now having a go at us... this recent attack was intended to damage our good reputation. Ian from Privagold, you should really make sure you understand the headers of an e-mail before you accuse others falsely. You have a business in this industry now, but you are a relative newcomer and it is often best to listen and learn until you know the ropes. No doubt if you are a legitimate business who actively fights fraud you will eventually be the victim of a similar attack. Metal-Escrow is one of the longest established exchanger's in the world (since 2000) with an impeccable reputation... Steven Stowell is a sysadmin for the siddley.net network, as you can easily see from the domain records. He is not employed by metal-escrow and has no access to the metal-escrow systems. As you can see the abusive e-mails were forged to look like they came from Stephen Stowell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). This is an incredibly easy thing to do. Obviously a cursory glance at the headers of the e-mail show that the message did not originate on the siddley.net/metal-escrow domain. The headers of this e-mail have our legitimate headers :-) Once again, our apologies to anyone who has been inconvenienced (or disgusted) by this attack. Regards, Sidd.
