About 'tauras85'

[IHeartAutographs]

Dear Fellow Autograph Collectors,

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I'm hoping it is. I have been a browser of FanMail.biz for quite a number of years, and it has helped me immensely with my autograph collecting. A few times over those few years, I have noticed people who post successes, which are doubtful to be actual successes. I just had to join, and couldn't stand to see you all fooled by this user.

I have to tell you guys about 'tauras85,' who may also like to be called 'mymymy,' and 'bobfred.' The reason for which I believe 'tauras85' to be these other two accounts, is because of the Harrison Ford "successes" which he/she has received, via the Indiana Jones 4 set. You will notice that they are all posted, somewhat, in the same style. The style is:

1. Send date, and what was sent (one line)
2. The Indiana Jones 4 address in capital letters
3. What he/she received (half-paragraph)

Let me show you:

H.F. Success (tauras85)

H.F. Success (mymymy)

Also, is it not weird that 'mymymy' joined one day after the success from 'tauras85' for Mr. Ford was posted, and he/she has a success with Mr. Ford, after it being denied a real success by other users?

H.F. Success (bobfred)

These 'tauras85' and 'bobfred' users also post phony successes from celebrities who are known, quite well, for not signing through the mail, and have not had any prior reported successes. They are:

Posted by 'tauras85'

Matt Groening, Rowan Atkinson, Michael Jackson, Michael J. Fox, Brandon Routh, Dean Cain, Daniel Radcliffe, Anna Chlumsky, Jamie Lee Curtis, Adam Sandler, Mara Wilson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Harrison Ford.

Michael Jackson?! Come on. Janet Leigh?! Yes, she signed through the mail, but she passed away over three years ago. What is The Reveille Fan Club? What does that have to do with Janet Leigh? When has she ever accepted mail in London? Jamie Lee Curtis?! She hasn't signed through the mail in many, many years, and always had her mother sign her name. Michael J. Fox?! He has Parkinson's, so I doubt he'd be able to sign.

The rest just send pre-prints, or don't send anything at all.

Mike Myers, Steven Spielberg, and Harrison Ford.

Never have I heard of an authentic success for any of these three.

And 'bobfred' and 'tauras85' have always hidden the envelope behind the picture they "received through the mail."

Also, what kind of usernames are 'mymymy' and 'bobfred?'

With all that being said, I'd definitely like to hear some input. Use your autograph collecting knowledge, guys, and be smart enough to know who signs through the mail, and who doesn't. The 'tauras85,' 'bobfred,' and 'mymymy' users just want attention, so they make up successes they have with notorious non-signers, like Michael Jackson. Please ban him/her from FanMail.biz. Don't forget that this is also the same user who tricked you all into believing that he/she had sent a picture to Jennifer Aniston, another non-signer, and received it signed. You all found out it was a picture from eBay.

Sincerely,

IHeartAutographs

I've had many discussions with several members about taurus85, the successes he's reported are not just miraculous, theyre impossible. I beleive he's just hear to pull our legs, and I know others feel the same too. But this thread will be deleted by the Moderators as it will just cause arguments. But I dont believe a single one of his "successes" I'll say that much.

[IHeartAutographs]

I'm totally with you, Andy316. I don't want to cause any arguments, I just want this guy/girl banned. I'm also pointing out how these successes could not possibly be real.

[RuleroftheWorld]

They're definatly not real. I've pointed this out several times on his/her threads, I dont know if my posts are still there or if theyve been deleted. The Matt Groening one was laughable, and when Jacko was reported everybody's radar should've been going off. Add in Michael J Fox and the rest and it stops becoming laughable and becomes a disgrace. I doubt this user will be banned though because there is no "proof"

[Factotum]

I think you're 100 percent right.

If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Not sure why someone would waste their time posting inaccurate or misleading information though.
It defeats the spirit of what forums like this one are all about: people from all over the world
coming together to share information and help one another. Thankfully 99 percent of the
people on this forum are outstanding and honest individuals.

Moderators, let's look out for the honest 99 percent. This thread deserves to be here.

Thank you, Factotum! I couldn't have put it better, myself. Though, Andy316, there must be something we can do to get this guy/girl banned. We can't let them get away with this nonsense.

Unfortunately I dont think theres anything "we" can do. Its down to the moderators and admin to decide if they take any action against this person, and seeing as he hasnt been banned already, I doubt he will be anytime soon.

Hes clearly looking for attention, so I guess the only way to get rid of him is to ignore him - but too many people will be attracted to his "amazing success" threads for that to happen.
