Yeah if anyone could I don't think they would turn up to warn the world they were in dire straits, they would just time travel back to the source of the overall problem and deal with it. Sounds a bit selfish too turn up and say "You's are f**ked and catchya on the flipside" sort of thing...

I feel this is a premature assumption. He could be a fraud, but have you actually assessed all the material at hand regarding postings made by John Titor to reach this conclusion? Human beings make mistakes and say inaccurate things at times - John has put forward a lot of compelling information regarding future events that WERE not possibly known about during his time or before.
Such as:
1. Using viruses to combat major diseases and ailments including cancer - this is a recent theoretical approach posted in medical journal's that is being researched further, no way was this realized in or around 2000. In fact this use of viruses was themed as part of the story in the most recent Jason Bourne film...
2. Mobile device exist in the future, but they are based on using web services, - this only came about very recently and is a technology that is still progressing further and should definitely take off even more in the next few years examples include:
Skype
Viber
Tango
Various others
3. Miniblack holes, this is only recently being discovered and in the works as a progressive study over at CERN. This is only possible using the LHC as it provides the required TeV to generate collisions of protons to create a miniature singularity, this is very very recent stuff.
He predicted all this 13 years ago, and I find this compelling enough not to discount John Titor as a fraud right of the bat...
Oncolytic virus
Overview of the cancer specific nature of oncolytic viruses
An oncolytic virus is a virus that preferentially infects and kills cancer cells.[1][2] As the infected cancer cells are destroyed by lysis, they release new infectious virus particles to help destroy the remaining tumour.[3] Oncolytic viruses are thought not only to cause direct destruction of the tumour cells, but also to stimulate host anti-tumour immune responses.[4][5]
The potential of viruses as anti-cancer agents was first realised in the early twentieth century, although coordinated research efforts did not begin until the 1960s.[6] A number of viruses including adenovirus, reovirus, measles, herpes simplex, Newcastle disease virus and vaccinia have now been clinically tested as oncolytic agents.[7] Most current oncolytic viruses are engineered for tumour selectivity, although there are naturally occurring examples such as reovirus and the SVV-001 Seneca Valley virus,[8] resulting in clinical trials
