AIM \"AnnetteObrestad\" Scammer and \"Kevin Saul\" on Facebook
Just a heads up for anybody else. PMed Annette on P5s and she says the account was hacked (thought I remembered something from P5s about it awhile back also). Not sure how the scam was going to work but it was a nice little AIM convo:

The email I got sent was from "Cole 'cts' South" from some random yahoo email that had 'cts' with some numbers as the main part. It asked for basic info that you put in when you sign up for a new account anywhere. Username, new password, address, security questions, etc. I take it the scammers are hoping that I use the same password or answer the security questions the same as some of my other accounts. Not sure how concerned I should be right now since I didn't give them any info. |
Re: AIM \"AnnetteObrestad\" Scammer
lolllllllllllllll he suckered you in by annoying you with pet questions lolllllllllllllllllllllll

Re: AIM \"AnnetteObrestad\" Scammer
the scammer is trying to fish for your e-mail address and possible answers to security q's (aka the dog conversation)
|
Re: AIM \"AnnetteObrestad\" Scammer
FWIW, Kevin Saul (belowabove) just friends requested me on Facebook a week ago and I'm guessing that's where the scammer got the info. I would recommend anybody who recently became friends with him there defriends him or prevents him from seeing all info.

FWIW, we had quite a few friends in common. Most of which are 2+2ers but I don't remember who now that I defriended him. |
Re: AIM \"AnnetteObrestad\" Scammer
being friends with someone from p5s on facebook is a huge beat

Re: AIM \"AnnetteObrestad\" Scammer and \"Kevin Saul\" on Facebook

This happened to me too obv. Getting everything locked reformatting computers, closed facebook, getting aim closed.

Re: AIM \"AnnetteObrestad\" Scammer and \"Kevin Saul\" on Facebook
just accepting him as a friend doesnt mean you are hacked. they have to do something about it.

Re: AIM \"AnnetteObrestad\" Scammer and \"Kevin Saul\" on Facebook
Log onto AIM yourself (did he change your pass). Log on and in the window that pops up from the AOL system manager type "1" and it will log him off. Then change your pass.

Re: AIM \"AnnetteObrestad\" Scammer and \"Kevin Saul\" on Facebook
he changed my pass. AIM is retarted, it seems they cant close my account.

Re: AIM \"AnnetteObrestad\" Scammer and \"Kevin Saul\" on Facebook
Anyone who is messaged by the scammers try to get their account names at least?
I tried but no dice. |
Re: AIM \"AnnetteObrestad\" Scammer and \"Kevin Saul\" on Facebook
I msged the hacker, he gave me an apology and the new password to my account. I login and delete all my buddies. Still going to reformat both computers, but It seems like hes done with my account.
He responded to "how did you get me?" with "i only got your aim". He confirmed I never downloaded anything. I dont think I will be making another AIM account. |

Oh yea, if Kevin, Annette, or anyone who gets scammed sees this thread please call police. Scum like this should have to pay expensive lawyers in order to stay out of jail. It might be hard to prosecute and it might give online poker bad press (*sigh*) but the scammers are attempting larceny across state lines and that might even have minimum mandatory sentencing in federal court. |

Re: AIM \"AnnetteObrestad\" Scammer and \"Kevin Saul\" on Facebook
I think I'm friends with the fake Kevin Saul, I should have suspected something from a brand new facebook account
Lucky for me I'm not in a position to get scammed |

AIM passwords are extremely easy to reset if you know a little about the person. I made sure the security answer to my AIM reset is something like "dslfhjasadlkfjwelkrj" so it's pretty unguessable. I also use an AIM password that I don't use for anything else just in case someone was able to figure out what it is. I don't know what else to do to protect myself, but hopefully that is sufficient. I assume someone good enough or someone with insider access could get in somehow regardless if they really wanted it. |
Re: AIM \"AnnetteObrestad\" Scammer
oh fake below tried to add me on fb too, but I rejected him cause I've never met him and have barely exchanged a few words
|
Re: AIM \"AnnetteObrestad\" Scammer
If the hacker is getting through a backdoor on AIM, then I would recommend using a 3rd party program such as Pidgin, GAIM, Trillian, or one of the many options available out there. There is no need to stop using AIM because of this person.
The backdoors that exist in AIM do not exist in these programs, and even offer some higher levels of security over the basic messenger directly from AOL. |
Re: AIM \"AnnetteObrestad\" Scammer
Yeah I got an e-mail from Full Tilt today saying there's a scammer impersonating me.... Kind of scary but so far he hasn't had any luck hacking any of my accounts at least it seems.

Re: AIM \"AnnetteObrestad\" Scammer and \"Kevin Saul\" on Facebook
