Now this pisses me right off....
 

I just got an email sent to me from "Yahoo!' for an email address "[email protected]" that said the following.....

**********************

So being curious, I clicked on the link in the email and of course it takes me to web address defined by an IP address and not a URL and on that page is asks for my credit card information and everything somebody would need to steal your identity.

The sad part is, some people would probably not notice these things and would gladly supply that information to "Yahoo" and then end up being screwed over by some fuck-off dickhead.

So I reported it to the hosting company the IP address is registered to, to Yahoo! and to the FBI. We will see what happens I guess, probably nothing.

I guess that link does not work so here is the page you are taken to if it worked right....

http://66.175.63.58/verify.htm?acc_n...no&res=success

Of course, I emailed them back in reply and it came back to me as undeliverable.


Flow

serves you right for using yahoo in the first place

seabornemedia.com

I don't get viruses with Yahoo! and the spam filter works great (that email actually came to me in the spam folder) unlike Microsuck Outlook Express

LOL.

I've seen some "paypal" e-mails like that. The paypal e-mails ask for your card numbers and your PIN numbers, lol, even your drivers license and SS number :winkwink:

So did this one

swap the IP with seabornemedia.com...
same thing, go to whois, and get their phone number..

phone number matches the address, give them a call.

oh fuck i better cancel some of my cards

I think we should all call them (though I doubt very seriously they are truly behind this)

bwahahahha
i just got off the phone with the lady

she does own that domain but she has no clue what is going on

and she was like " WHAT COMPANY ARE YOU WITH !??!?! "

she sounded hot though

give her a ring she doesnt like being woken up at 1:30 in the morning she said

stupid scamming fuck ho :feels-hot

I just sent her an email telling her I reported her to the FBI

oh the phone with tech support

damn they are closed

Now this is what I call poetic justice man. I go from pissed off to laughin my ass of about this.

LMAO, I bet she wakes up tomorrow thinking "what the fuck ?!?"

Ill call one of there agents i have a contact for in the morning so she is really reported :)

i hate scamming ass ho's :mad:

I agree

I had a yahoo account for 9 years [email protected]

went to log in one day they had closed the account for "Violation of TOS" i ONLY used the account for sponsor stuff.

Wrote yahoo asked them what was up ...They said that according to thier TOS that that could terminate an account for any reason at anytime and they wouldnt tell me why my account got turned off YAHOO SUCKS ASS:ak47: :BangBang: :321GFY

:feels-hot I hate fuckin scammers. And I truly feel bad for the people that don't know any better. I can honestly say that even people in my family would fall for things like this. It really is sad and the worst kind of violation. It threatens your identity. Try proving it wasn't you... Tough shit will be the best response you get.
