Surprisingly quick response from IC3 today. They have forwarded my information to the US Dept of Justice. BJA has provided me with the agent I will be in contact with. If anybody else needs helps with scalpers attempting to post your personal information online, let me know.by sactown23 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

I forgot to add that all necessary information has been forwarded to IC3 already. This creates an open file, so when filing a lawsuit, it will be much more hassle free.by sactown23 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

For the scalper posting my personal information. Since you did a great job of looking up my name, address, etc. on the countless amount of people finder websites, you should also know that I work at a law firm. You are hereby put on notice that should you continue to post personal information both on the board, via private messaging, or through any other source, I will have no choice but to pby sactown23 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

Sorry guys that I was out. I was actually camping in yosemite this weekend and come back to this drama. I can care less about this hacker. If someone has enough time on their hands, they can do the same thing. Look up someone's IP, input their name into a people finder and get some basic info. But, I will have A LOT of fun reporting his info to various law enforcement agencies!by sactown23 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

they've dwindled down tremendously since people started contributing to this thread I haven't found any in a day already. I still check them everyday on searchtempest which searches all craigslist sites, so if they are hoping we forget about them, they're gravely mistaken. Will continue to flag relentlessly!!by sactown23 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
QuoteSoCalCPA Not a bad idea but it may be possible for a scalper to set up multiple accounts to bypass this - Maybe, Maybe not I don't know - just seems that the problem has truly gotten out of hand they should simply eliminate the computer system and set up an automated phone system Also, you should have a valid driver license ID#, so if they institute a policy of 2 or 4 max per person, yoby sactown23 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

it looks like we have been putting a dent into the scalpers as I haven't seen any new postings on craigslist in a couple of hours already. Usually they repost them within minutes. Either way, the flagging from my phone and computer takes me less than a couple of minutes. I don't mind one bit if I do this everyday....as long as the scalpers get screwed over.by sactown23 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Quoteszalkowski Excellent idea. Two listings were already slated for removal when I opened the link to flag them. It seems like it's the same guy re-posting those ads. I think he either get email alerts, or has some automated program that re-posts automatically because the moment it was removed, he posted another one.by sactown23 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

Craigslist removes ads when they are flagged from multiple IP's. Post the craigslist ad where it is obvious that a scalper is selling PERMITS AND CAMPSITES and whoever open this thread, please go out and flag them. Check by searching for "half dome" and "yosemite" and flag by clicking the "prohibited" tab I think this is the most we can do while Yosemite triby sactown23 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

ELIMINATE the computer system. Computer system are breeding grounds for hackers wanting to make profit. - Create an automated phone system. - Two permits per person allowed. - One credit card and a corresponding driver license ID#, with the name that should match the credit card name.

So, today was the first day of half dome permits being sold for July. Took the work day off to wake up early and sit at the computer like many others to buy the amount of permits for my group. I finally got my campsite for the 4 day weekend and all I needed was the half dome permits. I've hiked half dome before, but we wanted to do it at night so we can see sunrise and avoid the bottlenecks aby sactown23 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

I'm going to be in Yosemite next week from May 13-15 and judging by the Yosemite conditions website, the Mariposa road will be closed. I heard that you can still hike the 2 miles to the trailhead and then an additional mile for the giant sequoias. However, would I be able to park anywhere around the beginning of the Mariposa grove road?by sactown23 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Ah I see. I'm assuming Half Dome will be covered in snow along with the dome itself. I was hoping to go up with the cables down. Had my harness and equipment ready to go, but dont want to risk it with slippery granite.by sactown23 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
