If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

As i discussed with Imp in private, I think it was a hiccup with your cell service. They probably use DHCP, and the IP you got tagged with at the time was banned from some previous user/ spammer

That's exactly what happened.
Don't worry about it. It's no reflection on you.

I'm sorry you have to go through that. Unfortunately, scamming and multi-accounting a-holes make it harder for all of us.

Same for you as above.
It's a simple IP issue.

Sorry that some asshat had to make things annoying for you.

1) thanks for the overwhelming and quick support from the greens and reds.

2) it happened to me a couple more times, i just wait a minute and my phone will let me in. if i do however find out who used the ip to scam and they are within reach, im going to donkey punch them.
