* IMPORTANT * Has Anyone Experienced/Been Targeted By This Scam?

Hi guys,
I am just wanting to put this out there to see if anybody else has experienced the same type of scam that we have. To summarize, we have come across a scammer pinpointed to Costa Rica, that has been mailing small blocks of our ex-members "special discount prices" promising all site access.

The scammer is accpeting payments through Paypal and of course the scammed ex-members are getting nothing in return.

The facts that we know:
- The scammer is located in Costa Rica
- The scammer has not breached our database, but has taken addresses 50 at a time (which brings us to the next point...)
- It is believed that the scammer is a rogue employee of a company that we have outsourced.
- The scammer is mailing with a footer advertising his company as: Insane Affiliates, Ltp.

For obvious reasons, we do not want to mention the company by name as we do not believe the actual company to be behind this, but we are interested in hearing if anybody else has had this experience.
