-idfraser (Bought a MIGHTY, never received it)
Has been banned for ripping off fans for over ten thousand dollars worth of items. Sold several items in 2009 that customers have yet to receive (as of 2013). Sold the "MIGHTY Microcontroller" on Kickstarter and on GBFans and took more than $10,000 from a few members and then spent the money on living / personal expenses without providing anything in return. Fraudulently mislead customers to buy more time for himself. Posted libelous (proven false) remarks against his investors / customers in an effort to make excuses for his financial misdeeds. Has been banned as of May 2013. After the ban he is claiming his computer no longer works, and the packages he had shipped have been lost in the mail (very common lie from scammers). Avoid at all costs.
October 2013
ShawnSwift created a new account named "GreyLady" and posed as a female member of the site. He used the account to contact members of GBFans to try and scare them into purchasing from him. His most common claim was that users would be banned if they bought the MIGHTY, while providing a link on where to buy them. This username has been banned.
