If you get a PM it may be set to email him, which would explain how he got a PM in his email.
Mine is set up that way. (If not here, than on other forums). I don't get many PMs here. :(

BTW, the guy was gone for 5 years, so it might take him a while to come back, and he probably won't read this thread anyway. So don't expect a response unless you PM him, which he may have disabled as well.
The Mods can probably email him. The forum I moderate shows the email they registered with in their admin profile.

Setting the record straight!

TRF personal details were at no time ever in question here.
Turns out, rarebear, was contacted using the TRF PM system by a returning banned member trying to filter his own fraudulent activity by gaining control of a grandfathered account.

This, although not surprising to those of us in the know, is disconcerting none the less.
We here have always pushed for the awareness of our membership.
NEVER, ever, let your guard down until you know for sure with whom you are dealing.

The OP (rarebear) correct course of action would have been to contact admin first.
Never should his integrity been in question this way, nor should the membership have run with accusations without a better understanding of the full details.

For future reference, always contact moderation (admin) first.

From here on out, lets keep things tighter without speculation, and contact the forum leaders when ever there is any doubt in the future..
