goes by the MSN address of [email protected]

Looks like a scammer... did you get his IP address?

LOL

Eric Makes Tracks, Victor does the websites and Geraldine does Tech Support.

Smooth!

well considering the last few lines id say yes he was trying to scam you...

how the hell can I get his IP address over an MSN conversation? :P

Amusing ...
its a scammer

bet some ppl gonna fall for it though

We should always keep in mind that there is no reasons why the dev's need our password. They surely can modify our accounts and password if they wanted. So, if there was a technical issue they would rather make the modifications and send you the new password (if changed) by an official mail.

By the way, his mail is too funny. An hotmail one ? Rofl!

Open a discution with him.
Go to msdos. Type netstat and look for the msn port.

Or dl a tool which make that. Google is your best friend

deffinatly a scammer.

Maybe in the next newsletter vic can add a note that they would never ask for somebodys username and password. at the very most it would be username only.

Yup. It's important to stress that they will NEVER ask for anyone's password - and maybe put it in the license agreement.

Quote from drone wolf :

Considering that it is a MSN conversation it is very obvious that he was trying to scam him.

Maybe Vic should update the Sticky at the top of this forum.

hahah, love the choice of his email

[email protected]

He was dumb enough to not know LFS devs have @lfs/liveforspeed.net addys :l

That made my day!

LOL, that was funny, the guys made the game, why would they need your username/pass, lol what a nooob...that was quite funny if anyone were to only have the pass it would be Victor, because he manages the site

Goooood morning madam!

Quote from STROBE :

If you would like to Co-Operate thenn do.
Eric Bailey says (20:11):

What happens if i don't co-operate?
Eric Bailey says (20:11):
That's what we are concerned about.
Eric Bailey says (20:12):

Jakg says (20:13):

Maybe it will get hacked and so on...
Eric Bailey says (20:13):
It will only take 2 minutes.
Jakg says (20:14):

Eric Bailey says (20:14):
Like I have already said your details are sending through some type of trojan,
Jakg says (20:14):
Oh dear

Eric Bailey says (20:27):
Yes
Jakg says (20:27):
Can i ask you a quick question?
Eric Bailey says (20:28):
...
Eric Bailey says (20:28):
Whats the problem
Jakg says (20:28):
How often does this scam work?
Eric Bailey says (20:28):
Scam?
Jakg says (20:28):
Of asking people for their passwords
Jakg says (20:29):
It's pretty obvious your not Eric as A. Eric does tracks, Geraldine does customer support, and B. You would have an @lfs.net email adress, not @hotmail.co.uk

Oddly Eric went offline at 20:30.

Hmmm....

He went offline, because I was talkign to him too
