stradf recently posted a thread on getting $4.99 keys and this is where I unraveled he was a scammer. I did some research and found this...

154 St-Catherine Ouest Montreal, Quebec appears to be in the art district.

So it may not be a real address but a P.O. box.

http://www.diablo-keys.com/ appears to be on the same server and probably the same registrant.

I also strongly believe they are using FAKE INFORMATION.

Anybody mind contacting the registrar, webhost, and ICANN for abuse?

stradf - A) I'll never create a facebook account.
B) I'll keep my privacy for myself, thank you anyway facebook.

mscrip - I guess you never put pictures on Flickr, either. Or participate in Internet forums...

Oh wait... frank (stradf)... A 23 year-old male from Montréal (CA) who joined Digg on April 15th, 2007

Sure, the internet isn't for everybody... only about 95% of them.

Enjoy your cave.

stradf- I don't post pictures on flickr, i have no account anywhere, my name is not frank, im not from montréal and i'm not 23. Your point?

I'm a loser because I don't want to expose my whole life to strangers and possibly have any of them harass me with it? (notice the accent in the montreal he lives in montreal ;P)

tommyny04- in a short answer .. yes

in a long answer ...

mscrip - >> "I'm a loser because I don't want to expose my whole life to strangers and possibly have any of them harass me with it? Your point?"

You brought it up. You posted the comment "I'll never create a Facebook account" on an article about Facebook. How does that contribute to the conversation?

I'm just trying to figure out what secrets you know about the Internet that so many other people don't know.

You do realize that there are different levels if privacy. You can post pictures to Flickr and nothing bad will happen... just don't post pictures of your mailbox with your address on it... and don't scan a picture of your driver's license or social security card. Common sense works wonders.

I'm wondering what has happened to you in the past that made people harass you on the internet. Maybe I should take notes.

****... I get spam I didn't ask for... that's about the only thing that harasses me online.

I'm harassing you right now... regardless of whether I know your real name or location. I guess it didn't work out so well for you, did it?

>> "i have no account anywhere, my name is not frank, im not from montréal"

Digg says you are Frank, your website is http://www.fullyfrank.com/ and your AIM name is Veecrawn.

A post from http://www.actuary.com/actuarial-discussion-forum/ ... says:

If anyone is interested in studying in Montréal, let me know! - aim: veecrawn

Your blog at http://www.fullyfrank.com/about-the-author says: "My name is Frank am I am a finance/mathematic students working in the modelisation field. I am desesperately bored at my job and even most of my university classes. I am 19 years old and my ultimate dream is to become a writer."

User "stradf" from Technorati says: "I have a ****** job and I realize the world is much different from what I thought. I work in a cubicle doing boring work, too afraid to purse my dreams of becoming a writer."

There are countless more "stradf" results in Google saying the same stuff.

You are also known as Onasoftride on other forums.

Onasoftride on http://www.edgeofnowhere.cc/viewtopic.php?p=356086 ... says: "For one month, I am going to go to restaurants, casinos and more, without ever tipping. Once."

Frank on http://www.fullyfrank.com/franks-project-on-human- ... says: "For one month, I am going to go to restaurants, casinos and more, without ever tipping. Once."

You call yourself a privacy advocate... but I was able to find all of this in 10 minutes.

Thank you for your reply. I'm not a thief, I'm a honest person and in fact I'm just a student. My last year income was 3,000$. 75$ is two weeks of food.

I have written to godaddy's ceo but I doubt it will do much good. I still don't understand why my domain was suspended.

The word you used was right -- extortion. I have a small something to make them pay but I'll wait until all domains transfer are done.

The worst is: I had paid for 1year hosting less than 2 months ago. Another 52$ gone

stradf - Thumbs up [SOLVED] Quick question // Sorry to bother!!
Hi and let me first apologize for making this post (sounds weird!)

I don't plan on posting here and the only reason I ever did it was to talk about this person : loyola

I am currently in the middle of a trade with him over MSN. He is offering me hosting for my website.

I want to know: is that guy a scammer?

Sorry again to bother and disturb this forum. I am a IT guy and just wanted more information as I become suspicious.

DarkMaster (also banned) - check his rep and join date, if he has 1 rep and joined yesterday don't trust him if he has alot of rep and joined a long time ago I think that he's legit and you can trust him !

stradf - Thank you. I am currently invesigating. He asked me to send 100$ upfront.

Yes, he is definitively a scammer. And a talented one too. Becoming rare these days.

tommo (also banned) - not the section to do this, but good luck finding your answer regardless

Well you guys saved me 100$. Thank you. I really appreciate, a lot. I feel I need to pay back.

I have a few diablo 2 cd-keys laying around that I don't use. Anyone wants them -- can have them. I don't guarantee they all work, but I'm giving them.

Will make a thread on that!

His Gaia http://www.chaosprogramming.com/ probably installs keylogger programs so he may steal personal account information and other valuable things to profiteer. It probably works like a ponzi scheme where he takes items from one Gaia account to give to another and so on and so forth.

stradf is probably a script kiddie at best (he uses templates for his website and probably pirated website software).

Ceci est un forum public. Les Cowboys Fringants se dissocient des opinions émises sur ce forum.
J'ai acheté L'expédition ce matin-même et je l'ai écouté depuis. J'ai tous les albums des cowboys fingants ou presque. J'ai toujours bien aimé le groupe.

À première écoute, le disque ne m'a pas plu. Trop de paroles, trop peu de musique, trop répétitif. Cela manquait de musique et d'entrain. Seul "Monsieur" et "Entre deux taxis" m'ont vraiment plu lors de la première écoute, ils sont plus commerciaux.

Mais j'ai été très agréablement surpris après plusieurs écoutes et très surpris de mon erreur. Le compositeur avait dit qu'il fallait l'écouter cinq fois au moins avant de l'apprécier, et c'est vrai. L'expédition est un disque qui murît. Il faut bien écouter les paroles et les chansons. C'est vraiment un très bon disque et les chansons sont définitivement très variées, contrairement à ce que j'ai pu croire au début. La bonne pomme et Histoire de pêche, par example, sont deux autres excellentes chansons. Même bobo, la tête haute et Train de vie sont bien meilleurs que lors de ma première écoute.

Donc, bravo, c'est bel et bien un excellent disque, et cela vient d'un fan difficile.Big%20smile Ce disque est définitivement complètement différent de tout ce que vous aviez pu faire avant, et c'est tant mieux :)

Bravo encore :D!

CP: What do you answer to GOS accusations of Gaia Online being a pedophile heaven?

CP: If you could fix one thing forever in Gaia Online, what would it be?

DL: Everything.

CP: If you could have sex with one of Gaia avatars, would you do it?

DL: Why do you even ask?

CP: Do you have a pet?

CP: Do you intend to have kids?

DL(lol’ing even more): Ha ha ha oh my god stop with the jokes!

CP: Ha ha ha sorry about that! Madam Liu, thank you, sincerely, for your time! Anything we can wish you for the future of Gaia Online?

DL: That it will be shut down.

CP: But then, where would the little kids go?

DL: In my bed.

Simon Tremblay?

And the automatic key is actually automatically sent as its from:
*@*.phx.nearlyfreespeech.net
*=wildcard

The paypal merchant is clearly linked to chaosprogramming.com:
admin@chaosprogramming.com
MGY Industries, LLC

This paypal thing was executed very slyly as paypal can do nothing:
The claims process only applies to the shipment of goods. It
does not apply to complaints about the attributes or quality of goods
received. Therefore, we are unable to reverse this transaction or issue a
refund.

Well, by editing his posts we pretty much know it is him, no questions asked. Did us a big favour.

Now to obtain his real address, and do justice.

Try to get the host to shell out his credit card credentials, since payment for his hosting has to come from somewhere legit.

I ran across this thread about ten minutes after buying his "keys." Luckily it was only about $10 and I had a bad feeling about it going in (should have gone with the gut.)

In case anyone else happens across this while researching to see if he's legit, i saw in another post on this board about g2buy.com, I used them after this fiasco and did get valid keys.

Hopefully no one else gets caught by this guy. I reported him to paypal as well, just in case they do anything about it, but I won't hold my breath.

I've been so busy with design contracts for clients out side of vbc, I've been trying to keep up, that my own site barely has vbulletin installed on it ;) www.pixelfxstudios.ca (http://www.pixelfxstudios.ca/) (moving boxes still in there, managed to get 2 hours to get it to where is so far, might accually work on it more tonight.)

I hope to get more up their for dark and I soon. This style or site is work in progress, and I've accually started my next veriant of it.

As for darks studies, I'll leave up to him to explain in more detail.

So thanks for the feedback :D, we've got some seriously cool stuff coming down the pipe to help vbulletin admins grow the business, side's of their sites.

If you're interested, contact me on msn (markofthewild@hotmail.com) or AIM (veecrawn) perhaps we could talk.
