    | MSN scammer!! offers you to be a moderator, don't give personal data! 10 min ago webmaster@namepros.com added me on MSN and offered me to be a mod. He told me he was -RJ- and I believed him. I even gave him my password so that he could verify but just managed to change it!
I sent a PM to -RJ- to verify but it is probably not him. Be aware!! | ||||

| So stupid. Man, first time this happens to me - I cannot believe it. How could someone do something like that. But I wonder how he could have that e-mail??? Just after I gave him the login pass I realized it and went in to change it. But I tried 3 times and it didn't work - maybe he had already changed it. But as I was logged in from before I was able to reset it - that was really close ... Just in case: I am supposed to have 117 NP$ |

 | I can't believe anyone would give personal info over a damn messenger to begin with ... Think before you do things People !!! If the staff of Namepros has something to say or ask - Why would we do it on a Silly messenger when NamePros has "PM's" and access to YOUR Email addresses of record ?????

| I know it is kind of my fault but this *#"¤("#/¤ has figured out my adsense password and changed it, 200$. I sent an e-mail to Adsense sweden. I also changed 15 other passwords, he managed to figure out two of my twenty hosting accounts but I was able to reset them. I still have the MSN window open - can it be used to trace the IP? I want to nail this guy. |

| When in a chat session, you could always use netstat command from the command prompt to see his/her ip address but I couldn't see how if he/she's already gone offline (or maybe appear offline). Looks like this guy is serious about what he/she is doing. He may not know what he/she is doing is serious though, but I'd like to see a punk like this go to jail. When a lesson must be learned the hard way! |

| I am almost fully sure it is a NP member that has seen this thread about the site I was maybe selling and how much it earned in adsense etc. I have a suspect. Yesterday I had PM Exchange with a person who seemed to be interested in the site and wanted evidence of the adsense earnings which I gave him. I don't want to give the nick because I am not sure. If I get the IP from adsense sweden maybe we can trace if it was him/her. |

| In any case, this is a serious offense, I'd at least PM RJ with your suspicions as he's (indirectly) involved as well.

| Ok. I have a high suspicion who this is - a NP member. Message to that NP member: Google adsense have IP numbers on records of logins - this I know for a fact as they can then see if one is clicking on his own ads. Once Google adsense rep in sweden will answer me and provide me the IP -RJ- will check the IP in his db of this forum who this member is and I will also file a report to the proper authorities. Now if you instead PM me, restore the adsense account in original shape and provide me with the new password before then - then I will not file my report and forget about this thing. Take the chance and may you be able to sleep tonight. |
