Has this happend to anyone recently? Someone named "KhAoZ" with zero posts asks me for info on beta, I decided I didn't want to talk to him. He then sends me multiple PMs with the same message, and then this happens
Um, i didnt bother responding I figured it would be better to reply so you stop spamming me. ----------------------------------------- Original Message: Wow why bother responding just to say no when I asked ever so politely? ----------------------------------------- Original Message: No thanks  ----------------------------------------- Original Message: Hey. I saw that you are in Beta. I wanted to ask you a few questions about it if it is ok with you. Would it be possible to chat with you over either AIM or MSN? Thanks for your help.
lol wtf?
|
Someones desperate for some sc2 nerdage. HIDE YOUR KEY!
|
dude that same guy pmed me too. asking the exact same thing. except he only sent me the first message lol.
|
This is what beta does to people.
|
he wants you on msn so that he can keylog you somehow and then steal your account. THIEFFFFFFF
|
Hmm even though I'm not in the beta I got PMed from people with 0 posts too. It's a plague 0_o
actually it was from KhaOz too LOL!

Yeah he's sent that to a ton of people including me.
edit: he also lied and said I was the only one he sent it to
|
This is pretty scary. Any mods can look him up/ban him?
|
ROFL yeah I got the same thing...here's our conversation (start reading from the bottom):
Try to make some sense and explain how I can possibly scam you through IM. Think before you type please...idiot
-----------------------------------------
Original Message:
Sorry, my bad.
Okay, in that case sorry I lied about not having AIM/gchat. Feel free to ask me whatever you'd like.
AIM: nobeta4u
Gmail: SC2betascammers@gmail.com
Hoping to speak with you soon! ^_^

Original Message:
How the fuck can I scam you by having your IM screen name. Are you retarded?
-----------------------------------------
Original Message:
Way to be redundant, retard.
If this is your way of scamming people of their keys/accounts I suggest you do something more productive with your time.
Or at least not make it look so goddamn obvious.
The world will probably sooner freeze over before you get a beta key. LOL

Original Message:
Wow, way to be a dick, dick
-----------------------------------------
Original Message:
I do but I'm not giving it out to a forum newbie with zero posts. Either ask your questions here or find someone else.
-----------------------------------------
Original Message:
Do you use G-mail or Steam?
-----------------------------------------
Original Message:
Hi, I don't use either. Can you just ask me here?
-----------------------------------------

Hahahaha.

I didn't get one.

Ya, he sent me this:

When I told him I wasn't in beta he just sent me the exact same message word for word. I assume he is just trying to get people's email addresses so he can spam them.
|
either that or get some info to hack/crack it

Yep he msg'd me too. I said PM is fine and he called me a dick rofl
|
Sent me as well and I don't even have beta..
I think it maybe some "clever" way to steal your beta account or something, no idea why would he otherwise send it to so many people.

I talked to him on MSN (he PMed me it too). He didn't try to scam me or anything, he just asked about what I thought about the beta (positives and negatives) and stuff like that.
|
you can hack email addresses but its impossible w/o knowing some personal info o.O
better to just try to buy one on ebay
|
I got one too. guy is a complete asshole
|
Way to spam lol. Well as sc2 comes out we can espect more and more of these kind of ppl, I hope Im wrong tho!
|
|
|
he pm'd me too, i just deleted the message
|
he even pm'd me on another forum that had nothing to do with starcraft. This guy's desperate

Just seemed kind of odd that he wouldn't be willing to discuss it over PM's when all he wants is some answers to basic questions.

He's messaging people at my forum as well.

Probably just collecting emails in order to do what every wow scammer has been doing for years. Sending emails from support@blizzard.com and asking for personal info/pw.
"But surely no one is stupid enough to fall for that lol" wrong.

|
...wow. Unbelievable LOL.
|
Yeah I got one too. Kinda obvious imo.
|
Hmm, I don't even have Beta and he sent me that PM. I think he went through everyone who posts in the SC2 forums
|
|
|
|
|
I got it too. Haven't heard back from him. Don't know how he knew I had beta though considering I'd just had it that afternoon and played a few games online. =\
|
Yeah this guy pmed me too and i didnt even have beta..I considered PMing a mod about a suspicious dude but i figured tl wouldnt get scammed so easily.
|
Meh I didn't receive a PM from him but had no problem sending a bunch his way
|
I got an AIM from him he asked a couple questions and that was it... It didn't really seem like a scam to me he just asked what I thought of sc2 lol...
|
He sent me a PM as well, albeit on SC2Armory instead of here. He asked me for my MSN/AIM and I politely told him that I do not feel comfortable sharing my contact information with someone I hardly know anything about and that I would perfer if he sent me his questions via PM.
So far, he has not responded in a hostile manner. However, he has yet to ask any actual SC2 questions, only asked about the avatar that I use on the Armory (which is the Carrier portrait from the pre-Alpha version of StarCraft).
|
I got that same PM lol i was like. "Sorry, i dont know where you heard that i had a beta key"
For some reasons this has the beginnings of a creepy pasta...o.O
|
Yeah he's definitely collecting emails to be either:
A) bombed
B) Emailed from random phishing scams
just play dead, always the best thing to do with these kind of people.

WHO WAS BETA KEY?
IMO this can't be well-intentioned. If his only interest was to collect impressions from the beta, wouldn't it have been far less hassle to just make a thread?
|
he thinks I had a beta key
|
its amazing how so many people got this but i was the first one to speak up about it haha
I dont know if i should be proud of this or embarassed >.>

Someone just ban this guy before he logs on again. Mods?

Yeah he's already been dealt with it looks like, since he's on the automated ban list

Right you are. Good to hear.
|
I didn't expect foul play; more like someone asking for advice or to talk strat/ add up on b.net so, like a moron, he now has my AIM.
Just got message from what I assume to be him after watching a few Dexter's with mom:
(10:53:53 PM) bluray1080p: hey
(10:55:32 PM) bluray1080p: Do you have a Battle.net account Authenticator?
Just blocked him.
Edit: I got the those in sequential order yet the time stamps are totally messing with my head at the moment.

If anyone gets any further messages like this asking for your MSN address here are a few spam accounts (the ones that say shit like: "I'm 21/f come see my webcam at www.xxx.com") that you can give them:
allenamirsky3222@hotmail.com
alyson-stewart20i@hotmail.com
devinvalko93@hotmail.com
