Title: NEW SCAM!!! WTF
Post by: KrazyGlue on April 03, 2013, 08:22 am
Ok this is insane. I just got a message from "SR ADMIN STAFF" saying that they will be changing around the Apache Software and that my New Pin is {3287}

What the FUCK is going on? Is this Scammers Day? Jesus Christ!! How are they getting these names with spaces in them? Can somebody please explain?

I'm guessing that when people saw that the scammer got away with > $130,000, they decided to give it a try as well.  So now it's either the scammer, some copycats, or a combination of both.

Yeah but how can they be getting names such as VENDOR and STAFF and ACCOUNT freakin Services? HAve they discovered some kind of loophole?
Also, you realize despite scammers making money, these new scams will keep working. Cant they BAN such account names

Thanx. I'm wondering if these fuckfaces registered these names before they stopped allowing spacebars in the names. And were waiting for a certain time to strike. i mean this is just crazy. why r people continuing to fall for them? theres been a million today alone. cant people just use their brains??

I never fall for the SR ADMIN STAFF ect but I think I lost .06 BTC to a new scam.  The scammer says they want to buy an order and asks for a few $$ worth of bitcoin to complete the order.  Then when you send it they say they need a few more $$ to compete the order.  LOL  it's like "hey buddy can you spare .06 BTC???"

DO NOT SEND ANYTHING TO SCAM (SR STAFF)   WITHOUT CHECKING FIRST.

I'm kind of at a loss as to how they could accomplish anything with this scam. Did they give you a link to change your PIN or something like that? It's like me telling your password is "password123" or something. I don't really get anything unless something else is going on.
