 Posted: Mon Oct 03, 2005 3:34 pm Post subject: MSN Messenger admin@googlecommunity.com is a Fraud |
 |
|
|
admin at googlecommunity.com is NOT an email address that I use for MSN Messenger. It is NOT me, it is NOT a representative of GC, it is only a spoof and a counterfeit account.
This is just further proof that MSN Messenger sucks. You can find me on Google Talk as elliot.lee at gmail.com.
Please ignore and/or kill the user "admin at googlecommunity.com". Thanks
Added by Randy:
Google Community administrators also do not use the following .NET passport IDs:
intelliot@googlecommunity.com
randy@googlecommunity.com

Thanks for an update, intelliot. Can you please contact .NET Passport support and report this so something can be done about it, possibly the removal of the ability to use that address for all .NET Passport sites, including MSN Messenger?
I think the fact that the user has not verified his email address (and it does say this is true after the email address if the address hasn't been verified) should set off an alarm automatically to anyone receiving a message from this fraud. |

I had already done this, and I believe Intelliot has done so as well.

That doesn't make any sense. Employees never give their credit card info to their employers

No legitimate site will ever ask you for a password or any other vital information. The sick feeling you get when an eMail of that kind arrives (usually in your bulk/spam mailbox) is telling you it's a fake. Don't be startled or pressured by sites wanting information from you. They will usually say you have limited or no excess until "the problem" is corrected.
I don't have MSN/Windows messenger installed on my machine!
There's too many idiots out there!
eBay always sends duplicates to your personal eMail account that you have with them. They also use your entire name in the eMail to let you know it's legit.
Be careful when you Google using any type of banking institutions name in the query. Some of those freshly created links are html.phishing schemes. I see these schemes all of the time.

This isn't me. Please be warned that if somebody contacts you with an @googlecommunity.com .NET passport ID and it is not verified that it is not a GC admin, moderator, representative, ect. Before allowing messages from someone, make sure their email address is verified and never give out personal information such as: login information, passwords, credit card info, etc. |

This guy tried to find out my info. Thank God PayPal does not send to my country. But I think I have got some clues who is behind this, since the guy gave me an email of someone claiming to be his relative.
If you are interested in the full version of the story, let me know so I can write it. |

Ok...This seems liek a stupis post lol  But i will post it anyway.
The person that is doing this must be on the site Frequently to know names of The admins or Mods. The admins can see these IPs and should Get a HINT on who it is by IP. Take it into Consideration. Just something that popped into my head
