PSA: Looks like the "can I talk to you?" troll is back with a new ID

[julesjones]

There's an unpleasant and possibly dangerous troll out there who contacts people by PM and then sucks them into a deeply nasty conversation -- the net equivalent of the guy gets his rocks off by phoning strangers and saying filthy things to them. He's known as the "can I talk to you?" troll because of his modus operandi, or the marmaladeat troll or marmaladeatkins troll from the handles he used to use most often before they were publicised. You can find out more about him here:

and there's a repost here with more information about him contacting minors for his netsex games, and how to report it to the Australian police:

I've just had a LiveJournal PM from an account with all the hallmarks of a Paul Austin troll account but a new handle. If you get a PM along the lines of the following, do not answer it. The two bloggers above have been collating the troll's handles, so you can notify them if you want a new handle added to the list.

Sometimes never remembering to look at your messages can be good, then....

I'm in touch with the IT people at his university - folks, if you receive an email from this guy, or anything with an IP address on it, please drop me a line. The IT peeps need evidence connecting their computers to his trolling before they can do anything. (Pass this on.)
