New NamePros Scam Alert

I have just received a message from certain "saurabh" about a guessing contest.

Here is his message

Edit: Link removed
Quote:

hello friends

I m selling 100 5 digit domains
all pronounceable word
http://www.namepros.com/domains-for...r-words-ll.html



but i m new here

I m holding a contest

U r to guess the names of domain i m selling

People don't get fooled, the url leads to different domain with same login interface as in NamePros! it's certainly a case of Phishing.

Chenzen

I have received the same message.

saurabh is the name.

Chenzen, please remove the link to his site, I noticed this too via the PM (Sent roughly 40 mins ago), so I'm going to back up the evidence above.

This is the same method that was used on DP when members id's and logins were stolen. Their id's were then used to scam other members out of their domains they had for sale. The stolen id's had excellent trader ratings and were trusted members on the forum. Take a look here and see how many were duped. http://www.namepros.com/warnings-an...mmer-on-dp.html

First time I ever reported an email, it showed up several hours ago. At first I thought maybe it is a noob who did not know it is not cool to PM strangers trying to sell them random stuff, but i reported it to NP just in case, saying it looked like spam.

Guess it was.

I got one from ASYS too.

The same guy's been at it in a big way over on DP - hundreds of LLLL.com domains have been stolen using accounts taken over via the same sort of phishing PM - he pays with stolen PP accounts, and insists on a PP/GD combo, knowing that neither will do anything about 3rd party disputes.

I have just removed the url from this thread as I don't want anyone clicking it. Looks like the first one has been banned. Let's hope this/these idiots get tracked down and spanked by their mums.
