A person added me and offered me moderator status on these forums. His email address wasn't verified, so I knew it was a scam but I decided to play along. First he tried getting my password on the forums, then he tried to scam my paypal. Anyways watch out for him.

List of emails used by him:
admin@msghelp.net
admin@msgpluslive.net
admin@msghelp.ne

Edit: I got his ip address, it traces to New Delhi, India. Can anyone else confirm that?

Well if I have a few of you added to my account, we can catch this person out, and perhaps warn everybody out there on the internet about this person.

EDIT: Anybody else smelling a gjs1992 (or whatever his username is now) ploy to try and get back at us again???

aw i wonder if he'd contact me to be a moderator if i had my email address in my profile .
* Chrono wishes they payed us monthly

The next person that gets added should say "no, I'm not interested, but [chrono's email] might be interested!"

---

Ohh I can't wait for this guy to try that on me.  It's going to be sooo much fun!

Even i was added by admin@msghelp.net and he tried a conversation with me but i was away at that time and then my UPS broke and i didnt had MP!L at that time so i just couldnt know what he said . But after that ive never seen him online .

Too bad I was sleeping when he added me...
Let's see if he will come online...
This is going to be fun

Do you always have electricity problems there, and your UPS doesnt power your computer, or do you have a faulty UPS which stops giving power at random intervals?

ddamn i wanna get added by this guy

Solution: Don't add your email address to your profile or post it anywhere in these forums

he didn't add me... yet

Nor me, it would be fun to screw around with him.

But how the fuck did he get the "admin@msghelp.net" the subdomain is owned by patchou. So i reckon its one of the staff bored messing around
I might add him though for fun

We are working on this one guys. Hopefully this guy wont actually get anyone.

One request, if you get an IM from this guy, take a look at the who's online and see if you anyone is just browsing profiles and PM an admin with there username. Thanks.

I just hope you didn't really login on the dodgy site he gave you.

Haha, now he added me with admin@msgpluslive.net. Boy this guy must think we're idiots.

Edit: I also got his ip address. It traces to New Delhi, India. Can anyone else confirm that?

Err... I don't recall saying that...

Using netstat is perfectly legal, and you're free to post instructions.

Funny how if you don't sound interested right away or if you ask him who he is he gets all "don't waste my time" or "i see you're not interested" and then blocks you :/

Probably so we don't get suspicious and note his ip.

I wish this guy added me so i could stuff around with him.

Someone should make a fake paypal

Hmm, makes me wonder what he would do with the password/username of a forum account? Someone set up a spare one and see what he does with it.

Yeah, I had that idea too, but was never added by that account and he didn't accept when I added him.

Just a spare account with a password you don't use anywhere else should do. Once you gave the guy the info he wants, make sure you PM a forum admin, so they can monitor who this guy is. I have an idea of who it is and what he wants.

* Nathan goes to do it

Meh, I don't think posting the login on public is a good idea. Everybody can have fun and login with that, so admins won't know which IP belongs to the scammer.

Only you (or whoever registers the account) and the scammer should know login info, so it's easy to get the scammer IP.

Why do you people think that he hasn't read this thread already?....

We've established who it is and have the IP address already.

There is no need to go around creating accounts to "catch out" whoever it is.

Are you allowed to tell us?

Is there a need to know who it was/is?

I managed to find out who it was by looking in the server logs.

I wasn't thinking of catching out, fishy, more finding out what they would do once they had an account of another member.

That's what i found interesting time, i would like to know what he/she planned to do once they had username and account. Maybe they thought the user was most likely to give the password they use allready?

If anyone got a link to a website from this guy and you know it was a phishing site or think it might be, please PM me with it.  Just want to clean those sites up so he cant try to scam anyone anywhere else using the same site.

is it still going on?

Who says the IP address is Indian?

The first post does - but are they sure it is the correct IP?

so where was the person from? Us?

I don't think Surfi is gonna tell us. It wouldn't help anyone telling that anyway, it can very well be a proxy and the actual scammer living somewhere else. In fact, you would be pretty stupid if you didn't use a proxy while you're doing stuff like this.

Why do he want to hack someone's forum account?
Can't he just create a new account his own?
And the Paypal scam is really horrible.

By the way, how do we get the E-mail Unverified?
