I received the following email from Yuri Bayanin's email address. I asked him to report the individual and the crime to the Hong Kong police. I am not convinced, however.

"Hi Sir,
I am the real yuri_b17 in azb forum, i know you have been affected by this fraud, i know this guy and i even introduced him on azb, i have already contacted Mr Juhlin about this. I have been a member of this forum for quite a while now and have had some wonderful transaction with some fellow member there. I have helped and let this guy stayed my house for about a week, he had left this morning and said will be back after 3 days, he had been accessing my azb acct and now i can't even login to it and even my emails, all my passwords had been changed. My last transaction on azb that I am aware of was with Mr. Dave Albrecht, other than this were already out of my consent. I am willing to help in whatever way i can to straighten out this matter, please extend my apologies to the people affected by this and please do not anymore transact with my username yuri_b17 especially on azb. My paypal acct was also used knowing it only now, so I have to cancel it. My identity is being used and even all my personal details is being spread out without me knowing it, and i would not let this thing happen to me and my family. I will not disgrace my reputation that i am building up for just a couple of hundred bucks. I have made some past transactions with some reputable people in the forum and i wanted to keep it that way, sir please keep me posted and i am willing to do anything to straighten up this mess being made by a monster under my name.
Yuri Bayanin "
