Hacker News is the specific means by which this scammer is finding his victims. That, specifically, is what makes this relevant, IMO.

- raganwald 16y agoHN is not a match-making service for founders or consultants. If keeping track of the worst-of-the-worst is relevant, why not keep track of the best-of-the-best? Why don't we track business karma? Services for vetting people in business already exist, starting with LinkedIn and going on to other sites, many of which are specifically designed for web programmers to showcase their work and show off their reputation. The situation is unfortunate, but I still don't see it as HN business if one HN user decides to do business with another HN user and things don't work out well. HN is not responsible, we're a "common carrier" so-to-speak. p.s. JM2C, of course, carry on, I'll be over here coding...
- pyre 16y agoHow is HN not a common-carrier if its users decide to police themselves to a certain extent? This wasn't posted by 'HN Staff.'
