Please be careful who you are interacting with from clraik/Neopets/anywhere

It's come to this. I have to make an announcement about a member who used to visit regularly here and other forums. His username is "Pieter Hiele" and he has been around for a while. This person is a sex offender and has been known to commit online pedophile/predator antics MANY TIMES! He has been to prison in the past which made everyone wonder where the hell he disappeared to a few years ago. One of his close friends found out he was in prison and informed most of everyone that frequents the Neo communities where Pieter frequented. Since coming back it has become clear that he did not learn his lesson as he has been targeting younger female users who play Neopets. His approach is always about Neopets and he will offer to send you NP or items and then you can tell where it goes from there.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL!

Do you remember when there was that fake announcement posted on the NeoBoards?? Most of you didn't know this, but Pieter Hiele was behind it all. He managed to get into a Neopets staff account not long ago (September 2014?) and he posted an announcement on the NeoBoards telling players to go and like his FaceBook page. This resulted in many players falling for it, and sadly his intentions were only to collect the young female players and then add them on FB.

His first ban was because I caught him messaging many members and attempting to get their Skype usernames. Since then we have been catching him register again and again using a proxy.

I do not want this community to be affected (OR ANY OTHER!) but sadly there are these sick and twisted people on the planet we live on. I'm making this post to inform everyone (hopefully) and no one becomes a victim. I'd also like to make it clear that I am working on getting his personal information along with this nasty story in the hands of higher authority.

Thank you for your co-operation.

That's disgusting. Glad you're keeping the community safe from people like that.

It's upsetting that his antics are being posted publicly now. Things like that cause hysteria amongst communities.

But I'm very happy that you're looking out for the community Joe, takes a good man to watch over people and make sure that nothing happens to them.
You've got my thanks, and respect.

I hope all goes well with getting his information, and forwarding it to more good men (and women )
