from aus.radio.scanner
==============
WARNING TO ALL SCANNER HOBBYISTS
Do not sign up to scanvictoria with any of your usual usernames or
passwords.
This site has nothing known about it, yet the single post on
aus.radio.scanner comes directly from the same IP address that has
fraudulently taken hotmail addresses and is believed to be micheal
keeping who has many court orders against him.
the IP of the poster on several occations has been 203.26.206.129
once again a WARNING, do not use any of your normal details when
accessing this site
it may be used to hack your personal accounts in the future.
for a local site (with nothing original to offer) i wonder why they
chose to register under a hosting company in Singapore and host it
there instead of locally in good old Aust?
?
see you in court AGAIN

The info about Mr Keeping seems legit (public court records are exactly that
- public) but whether or not Mr Keeping has anything to do with this site
I'll leave to the regulars to argue about.
> the IP of the poster on several occations has been 203.26.206.129
host 203.26.206.129
129.206.26.203.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mfc9000.internode.on.net.
host mfc9000.internode.on.net
mfc9000.internode.on.net has address 203.26.206.129
So the IP has a RFC compliant forward and reverse lookup and is a customer
of Internode. So if there has been illegal or unwanted activity from that
IP address, take it up with Internode.
I'll go back to lurking now.
Cheers,
