TSR: In Ur Accounts, Deletin Ur Stuffs!

[Shan-Chan]

That is seriously fucked up. Just when I thought TSR couldn't get any worse, they pull shit like this. 
I really hope you pursue this WB and get everything under control. Keep us updated.

[ShanOw]

Holy crap; fucking with someones files and deleting a website is one thing, but stealing CC info and the like is crossing WAY over the line.

WB, is it possible that they have somehow left some spyware on your pc? Perhaps run a heuristic based spyware and rootkit scan.

Again, here's that address to file cybercrime complaints:

[SoggyFox]

Yes - report them, don't play with it at all.

[Witchboy]

And done......

I did a little checking around, and pille @ hotmail. com is not a valid email address. It's too bad, if it were we might've been able to narrow down the suspect list.

[Paden]

WB looked up the addy and was able to get the name of the person it was registered to, though. That was one of the first things he did when he found out about his Amazon account, hon.

[Witchboy]

Padens correct. I looked up the email address here http://www.spokeo.com/single

It has some info but not all. If you want full results it costs 2.95. It did give me a name, location, email validity & a list of social networks the person who owns that email belongs too.

[EmilyTwitch]

Oh. I guess my resource was faulty. My bad, should've checked more than one source.  Oh well at least you've got a little info.

[Cheesy]

I rarely post here but, after reading the last 10 or so pages of this thread I'm so full of rage at what these assholes at TSR are doing that I want to kick them so hard!

I saw the sick pictures that replaced Shanow's updates at Garden of Shadows. I figured he was hacked by some random loser with too much time on their hands and reported it to the mods at GOS so they could either hide the thread or ask the members to stay away from the thread until the issue was solved. Seriously, those pictures were so horrible that I lost my appetite, so I'm sorry that Shan0w had to look for them all over the Internet to get rid of them. I'm also glad to see his thread back at GOS.

But now that I've read the whole story behind this incident, and what's WB going through, I can't believe these criminals are getting away doing that. This goes beyond the whole ethical dilemma of selling pixels or not, this is a serious problem and I hope you're able to solve it, WB. I don't know you, but I'm sure you don't deserve going through this situation because some sick criminal wants to get revenge on you.

I admit I'm also worried at what they are capable to do. I have an old, obsolete account at TSR, and although my username is way different than my regular one in the Sim communities, I once used my regular e-mail and password over there. I changed it after the BuggyB drama, but what if they still have it stored in a database? Can they really be trusted about the whole encrypting of passwords solution? Although I'm not an active filesharer, I'm openly pro-pirate in my community activities, so this is really upsetting me right now. I wish I were just overreacting.

Anyway, I wish you all luck, especially to WB. As I said, I hope the best outcome for your current problem and I wish the criminals that targeted you, Shan0w and other innocents in the past get what they deserve.

This is insane... it truly proves that once real money is involved, the sim community stops being fun.

[Skoria_Bay]

I'm glad you reported this WB. If I were Thomas and TSR, I'd be seriously turning myself in. But then, they don't have any common sense anyway. Cybercrime is taken very seriously in the US even if the source is from overseas.

[Witchboy]

Coconut updates.....

Atwa's just a constant font of information, isn't she. Whenever people are likely to forget about her stupid existence, she leaks something new. I wonder if she made that claim about Delphy in order to try to turn people against him? Gods know they try that incessantly, MTS is a much bigger threat to TSR's bottom line than PMBD is.

[Skoria_Bay]

*shakes head* Well, if someone official from another country's law enforcement agency came to the Mobile Service in Stockholm, you know they'd be singing a different tune. After all the flap about Pirate Bay, I would hope they would be forth coming with the information.

[ShanOw]

TSR is just getting even more pathetic; Messing with download numbers to save monies!? Not only are they ripping off customers, now they're ripping of there own artists. If this can be proved and presented to some of the FA's we may be able to get some FA's to leave that shit hole of a site.
