I never thought I’d scroll onto a thread about a reverb scammer and be met with network talk.
The IP block person did say a slightly correct bit; you want to inconvenience the attacker. Any system on this planet has a way in. It’s a case of making it really awkward and annoying to the attacking source. Generally slow them down until they get bored. Obviously, this won’t apply to higher level players quite so well.
That doesn’t mean that blocking an IP/range would work. Like people said, it’s a very broad strokes approach and will burn loads of people/potential customers for very little gain.
People, Process, Technology. Teach people to be more cautious, have processes in place to ensure they are protected, have systems in place to block accounts etc.
Anyway, on a scam related note; I wanted to grab a HX Stomp in case my QC dies. Saw one on a bass group on Facebook for a reasonable but slightly cheaper than usual and messaged the guy. Very quickly I was asked to transfer money into his girlfriend or wife’s account…then another random account. Bit of a red flag moment. I was out with my wife for a weekend away and didn’t open my phone for hours. He had messaged me loads of times throughout the night 😂
