AIM "AnnetteObrestad" Scammer and "Kevin Saul" on Facebook

[BadgerPro]

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:

AnnetteObrestad (4:13:19 PM): Just fill that out and return it
badger (4:16:40 PM): what password does it want in the email?
AnnetteObrestad (4:16:50 PM): just one to use for the site.
badger (4:17:01 PM): i already have a CR account though
AnnetteObrestad (4:17:08 PM): You will get a new one

Not sure how the scam was/is going to work. 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.

lolllllllllllllll he suckered you in by annoying you with pet questions lolllllllllllllllllllllll

[ASPoker8]

the scammer is trying to fish for your e-mail address and possible answers to security q's (aka the dog conversation)

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.

Yeah, the one who friended me, the scammer, had the green button up shirt on in the picture. 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.

[Ship Ship McGipp]

being friends with someone from p5s on facebook is a huge beat

[Jurollo]

God I am an idiot, was friends with both hacker Kevin and real Kevin, I pay attention well.

[MINETZ]

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

[Jurollo]

just accepting him as a friend doesnt mean you are hacked. they have to do something about it.
