Interesting Spam/Scam
-
I'm not sure if this is a spam or a scam but I was browsing through my junk mail folder for my forum email account because I may have accidently emailed kant with it and it is only set up to recieve based on very specific criteria yadda yadda yadda So I find this Yahoo Member Services (my-login-request@yahoo-inc.com) message saying my turbocavalier yahoo ID's password has changed. turbocavalier is my hotmail forum mail address and further more I have never registered, and I did a check and it doesn't even exist, but I haven't been to yahoo (with the exception of the previously mentioned search) for probably 2 years or more. You guys think this might be a scam, I'm starting to wonder because I am getting a lot of mailer-daemon messages from yahoo that are supposedly from me to addresses like 12243920725@tmomail.com I'm not concered or anything, just thought it was interesting Matt Newman If you chose to continue this discussion, I am fully prepared to make you my bitch. I invite you to ask around, and you'll find out that I'm quite capable of doing so - John Simmons on Trolls

Looks like a variation of one of the identity theft scams going around. Same thing happens with ebay and paypal. A new variation arrived in my inbox this morning using the IE Ctrl-A defect to hide the real URL of a fake paypal registration page. They create the URL they want you to think you are going to followed by a number of Ctrl-A's and then the real URL that you are taken to - looking at the Address line of IE just shows the URL before the Ctrl-A's and not the real URL of the page that is displayed. I tracked down the ISP that was hosting the pages and was going to report them - but someone beat me to it and the pages were already taken down and replaced with a page indicating that the original e-mail or forwarding URL was a scam.

I did a netcat on one of the ip's, found several open ports, each port running a page for a seperate scam, 1 for ebay, another for paypal, 1 for earthlink, etc. Paul

X| The only result of their spam fight is that sometimes (but rarely) e-mail from my friends ends up in the bulk folder, while most of the spam ends in the inbox. :( Rado

I used to have a Cavalier, didn't know you could get a turbo though. Not a bad car all things considered.

First of all, I don't actually have a turbo on my cavalier, the name turbocavalier was designed to fool certain people from figuring it out (no they won't figure it out here). But the new Ecotec (2002+ Inline 4) can reach 200-300 horsepower with 1 or 2 turbo's. GM, Jegs, and this car (which is for sale)[^] have all reached the 1000+ HP range with stock engine blocks running nitro fuel in the NHRA Drag Series.
