Hate phishers? Want revenge?

Post by BadBoy » Mon May 30, 2005 5:01 pm

DO NOT USE THIS LINK TO LOG INTO EBAY. THIS LINK IS A PHISHER TRYING TO GET YOUR INFORMATION.

Now, to the reason I post this:

The dumbass decided to use his IP for the URL. Anyone that likes to take advantage of IP addresses, help this guy out the best way you know how ;) :D

209.47.139.134

The link is http://209.47.139.134/~admin/secure/login.html (Do not use this link to log in, just treat this phisher / scammer to what he deserves).

What was the point in posting this with the links? You do know that someone is going to be stupid enough to actually use it to sign in. Don't tell me you fell for this? If so, that's kinda sad.

UUNet and Cox are both major ISPs, and chances are REALLY HIGH those IPs are dynamic, and anything you do to the owner of said IPs is going to miss the target. About the best you can hope for is reporting the scam to their abuse departments, ALONG witht he exact time the scam occurred. If they take you seriously they may spank little Jimmy and get him in trouble with his parents.

More than likely the account is diposable, and nothing will come of it.

I have had the same IP on Comcast for somewhere like 6 months. Unless you're in the habit of turning off your modem regularly, your IP is pretty much static.

But yeah, there's the off chance you might be DoSing the wrong guy. I'm leaning towards the 'disposable account' theory as well.

Those without broadband (which usually only helps with downloads anyway), get a new IP every time they login. Those with broadband get a new IP every time the cable/dsl modem reconnects, it's it's not a major ISP outage that caused the disconnect, chances are you'll get the same IP anyway.

Scammers/Phishers/Spammers/Professional Asshats all use dialup, or use broadband and route through some poor zombie schmuck. Broadband installations tend to be much more permanent and intrusive to setup than dialups.
