Someone just contacted me over msn with the mail [email protected] asking if I wanted to be a moderator.

Since the msn wasnt verified I found it suspicious, so I questioned him and he logged off. Anyone else this did happen to? Would guess he was after user and pass?

He has no affiliation with me or this forum.

The email adddress unverified should tip anyone off that is contacted that it is fake.

Thanks for the heads up!

Is there a security problem in this forum?

If people are getting our email address we need address something?

I would like my email address removed from the system.

You have to add your MSN address seperately, or that's what I did at least...

I just got an IM from someone I know that's a member of DNF on MSN. I could tell right away that it wasn't really him. I'm guessing he fell for the trick, gave his password and the scammer logged in. Here's the message:

I'd never talk to someone with an unverified email address. You can't be sure if they are who they say they are...

Thanks for the heads up!

So it looks like someone is trying to hijack member accounts to probably sell stolen domains and take advantage of trader ratings and goodwill.

Sad.

I was contacted by this person tonight... I said "nice scam" and sent him the URL to this thread...

He responded with "oh shit" and signed off immediately.

Incidents like this reaffirms the reason I don't use any IM programs, since they tend to be easy for hackers to exploit; are risky to use.

This has nothing to do with hacking or hackers, it has everything to do with social engineering (finding suckers).

Agreed. The thing that gave this guy away is the "Unverified Email Address" that followed his username in MSN Messenger.
