My girlfriend is being blackmailed via yahoo IM! and MySpace

[hell-knight]

Hi, about 4 hours ago my girlfriend called me saying there was an idiot that took over her Yahoo! Messenger ID and MySpace profile. She said the guy contacted her with the ID kriminal911 on her alternate ID threatning her to upload photoshoped pictures of her that show her in embarassing posinitions and change her details on myspace. He also threatened to swear at her friends on Yahoo!, and this would also be a big problem as most of them consider her ID legit. I tryied to add this guy on my own messenger list but he rejected my request. Now maybe the funniest (or scaryest) thing in this whole thing is that the son of a ... asks for naked pictures with her in exchange for her accounts back. I gave my girlfriend some photoshoped pics to send him but he immediately knew they were fake ( I`m not very good at editing a picture in photoshop REALLY that fast)...he said he would post upload the pictures tommorow and swear at her friends if he doesen`t get his pictures.

I don`t know if this guy is making fun of her or he is really mentally diseased but my girl friend really cares about her yahoo and myspace accounts and is scared of what this psycho might put there. If it was me I probably didn`t care, made some other id and forget this...but she doesen`t want to do this.
And also she doesen`t want to send the psycho naked pictures of herself either....it`s kinda funny, as she would be willing to even pay for her accounts but not give images of herself naked ad even if she would be willing to do that i wouldn`t let her because god knows on what pornsite they might end up on (he even specified he wanted 12 pictures).

I`d post the conversation between them but it contains very strong language and i really don`t have the time to remove all those words.

Oh and just to keep this on-topic Keep away from the guy with the id kriminal 911 hes is a psycho!

 

[hell-knight]

ok latest problem: she called me to tell me he contacted her and told me that ipconfig was showing her lots of ip adresses even though she has a im window only opened with him. She also said he would revert the damage if he got his pictures...dirty bastard

Finnaly i managed to trace the idiot! I located his ip, ISP, called, they gave me his info and i paid him a visit...guess what: he was 14 years old!!! LOL i wanted to kill the idiot but his parents were home. I didn`t tell them but i had a little talk with him telling him to quit doing this or i`ll beat the sh... out of him. I can`t belive i went into so much trouble for a 14 years old! When i told her she couldn`t belive it...she thought i was joking...i asked her if she knew him and she said no. Probably he`s seen her myspace profile. I wanted to tell his parents but he started crying in front of me lol. He actually started crying when i told him i sent a complaint to the police but when i told him i`m going to tell his parents he fell on his knees begging me not to do so. I will retract my complain tommorrow. Anyway at least i know the idiot is not a public threat. Thanks for the support. Who would have thought it was a 14 years old boy living a couple of streets away from me...the net these days

Wow man, The ISP gave details out that easy?

Quite scary :td:


Goodjob on finding him though, Did you get it all back?

 

[dezinerite]

Anyway at least i know the idiot is not a public threat.

Hmm...I don't know about that one. I wouldn't underestimate 14 year olds these days. If he caused that much trouble already, who knows what he'd do next.

 

[True_Snake]

Good to see that you got it figured out Hell-Knight. But I would have told his parents nonetheless. Hacking and blackmailing is not something any teenager would do, it's teenagers w/ problems. But I understand, him crying at your feet ... it can be tough.

So that guy was local, eh?

[hell-knight]

yep he was living a couple of streets away...right under my nose...pretty smart from him to speak in english. As for the ISPs i had to admit i didn`t call them for the info, I went over to their HQ, bribed the operator 50 bucks and got my info in 2 mins (the ISP is a small local company)

 

[BitcoinDK]

Thanks for updating us. I am really glad you have found that bastard.

As I guessed before it was a local, its almost always local.

But you should tell, at least his parents so he understands there is a consequence. If he when he is only 14 year old, is doing this, and he dont get punished for it, when he grows up he will do a lot more.

And who knows, maybe he has done this to others too, who didnt have the oppurtunity as you did, to find him, and maybe there is some girls around there is getting blackmailed by this creeep.

So rethink about telling his parents, maybe you will help other girls, by telling his parents, who knows?

Trust me when I say you made my day, this kind of things get me so mad. I would beat the ass of him, take his computer from him, get him to beg and say sorry to my girlfriend every single day, until he understood that what he was doing was not right, first then I would give his computer back.

Best regards...

Good to see your matter finally resolved. Cheers.

$50 Did the trick ? They gave you the print out of who and when used that IP ? I wish it would be that easy in US.

Yep just like that and it wasn`t even $50, when i mean 50 bucks i meant 50 lei which is about $20. Yeah and his parents already know, because when i told the police officer i wanted to retract my complain he asked me if i solved the problem, and i told him it was a 14 years old and he said the parents and school teachers must know about this because he will most likely do this again because he got away so easy. So i went with the police officer to his home and i told his parents who were shocked...they said they thought their kid was spending so much time on the computer playing games, not blackmailing people asking them for porn pictures.
So now his father said he will take away his computer and watch him more strictly and promised us it will never happen again. In the end the police officer decided to not tell the school principal because he thinks his parents took the right measures. He also warned them that next time he will have a file at the police and fine them with up to $1200

Nice job hell-knight.

 

[klarth]

Very nice job. Glad to see all this was resolved. However, it pisses me off so much thinking about the situation. Again, very nicely handled.

Great job. You really need to go back, and tell his parents. This is a 14 year old boy, in age only. He is probably proud of his "acting" job crying in front of you. The very same night he probably went back to bothered other girls. Anybody able to do what he did is capable of who knows what else. He is probably making double sure he covers his tracks this time.
Let him get a surprise visit from the police, to they can see what's on his computer. You already did the hard part. Let the police decide whether he deserves another chance. Just think how good he could get in 15 years.Next time it might be your daughter he is blackmailing, and wants nude pictures of.

Agreed :yell:

Needs to learn his lesson.

 

[happyhappy]

What a great read.. and how each country is different.. in the US if you said 50 bucks for an address (unless you know them it would be free) you could end up on the deep end.. .glad it worked out for you..

 

[Frikkle]

That's a pretty sickening story. Good thing it was local and you got it all resolved.

Any idea as to how he got access to the Yahoo/MySpace accounts in the first place?

 

[bluearrow]

Good to see that you got him busted. police is right this kinda creep would had probably do it again unless. Lucky your GF If this happened to a girl whose too shy to tell anyone or too terrified to tell anyone thing would have gone lot worse.

 

[Darkneoboi]

I would take "labrocca" advise above.

Although i would consider getting an IP trace on him, If you were to confront him over the phone, I would bet he would stop.

I had a similar problem a few years back, The person pissed me off to the point, that i actually found out where they lived, I called em, told em i may just come knocking on their door, told them their own address over the phone, The BS stopped right there.

I have done that before, it was fun. I reached his parents. It was a good time. His parents weren't happy with him

 

[Gursimran]

You did the work of FBI
good job mann...
your GF should proud of you

 

[hell-knight]

wow you guys were right about 14 years old today, check this out:
after i told their parents, the policed asked if they would agree to confiscate his computer to check for other illegal activity. As my father used to work as a policeman I know a lot of people from there and they would tell me stuff no matter how secret it is (remember, i live in romania, the country of all posibilities)
Guess what they found: the kid was a very active member on a russian backed hacking forum and was breaking yahoo, msn and ICQ accounts for $50 each which went to a yet uknown persons paypal account. Probably the guy was sharing the profit with the kid. They also told me he sold credit card dumps at the price of $15 per dump.
So it seems the local idiot that cried at my feet isn`t that stupid...it`s got really scary I wonder how his parents will react...i mean i don`t have kids, but i can`t imagene what would i do if i had a 14 year old kid stalking people, posting in russian hacking forums and selling cc dumps. He should be kept away from his computer! People like him are the reason that when i enter escrow.com into my adress bar it says 1/21/2008 11:49:43 AM: Your access to Escrow.com has been denied.
I think romania is the only country blocked by them . When i call them they tell me "You can signup from another country and then login using proxy" lol.
So this experience changed my opinion about preteen internet junkies

 

[BitcoinDK]

The way your problem ended makes me very glad. Bravo to you

I cant explain how mad creeps like this guy makes me, so I hope he gets banned and not allowed to use a computer with internet for the next 50 years.

Kids nowadays, they think that just because its "online", its not that serious. In school they should have ones or twice information campaign about illegal/legal use of internet and the dangers within these.

Thanks for you updating us

Best regards...

Your story makes me glad
