*****RE: GROUP (and NET. ADDRESSES, such as msn.com and hotmail.com) HACKER*****
I had one AWFUL scare here when my group was hijacked by an uninvited stranger, and it was a grueling 24 hours before MSN was able to track down this idiot and ban him...hopefully from the PLANET!!!!
Apparently, a lot of groups have been hit by this fool and he is collecting addresses and passwords by telling people to join a non-existant site
... which, when you try to fill out a ''RIGGED'' MSN PASSPORT SIGN IN FORM....he automatically gets your full e-mail address and PASSWORD!!!
Then he uses your good name to infiltrate other groups and take them over!
He then ''invites'' all the members of his newly stolen group AND GETS ALL THEIR ADDRESSES AND PASSWORDS....after he has bumped all the group's managers down to ''member'' , and put all message posts on ''MODERATED''...SO NO-ONE WILL BE ABLE TO POST A WARNING OR ANYTHING ELSE TO ANY UNSUSPECTING MEMBERS IN THAT GROUP!!!
I was very lucky I got my group returned to me within 24 hours by MSN!!!
From this day forward, I am going to be so very grateful and highly respectful of MSN, for saving this group, and her members from this terrible person!
So if anyone sees this message posted ANYWHERE...
DO NOT FOLLOW IT OR FILL OUT THE FORM!!!!!
Hello Everyone! Come & Join Our Group Please. The Link Is teenname.cjb.net (the actual name cannot be used according to code of conduct) We Have Over 48000 Members & A Chatroom Which Is Alwayz Busy!!! |
IT IS A RIGGED FORM DESIGNED TO STEAL YOUR ADDRESS AND PASSWORD!
I try very hard to spare my members any uneccesary grief or upset and I know the managers here feel the same way I do.
****If any of you have fallen victim to this person...
<part removed - explanation below>
POST ANYWHERE ON ANY MESSAGE BOARD!!!
AND DO IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!
Then management and MSN will then go all out to help you get your group back!
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO AS MANY GROUPS AND PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE!!!!
This is from another group and we urge everyone to please take it seriously. It is yet another reason we at THG ask that you HIDE your e-mail addys (ie: do not show them in your MSN profiles!)
