I got a strange PM last night. Seems like somebody might be trying to get personal info from NECO members:

As for the payment, I would need you to get back in touch with the last asking price as I will be paying with a certified cheque or money order.

Lastly, please forward to me your full company's (or house address, telephone and fax) details as I will subsequently prefer reaching you through these facilities.

Yours interestingly,

Should you need to reply to me, Please get back in touch with your details to me at: tex200894@yahoo.com for a quick reply.

I got the same PM!

I'm tracking these guys down and putting an end to this crap.

FastCougar · 10-11-2008, 11:12 AM

It's African based for sure:

IP traces to Sterling VA of all places, but that's just the NOC of their US operations.
DNS Stuff: DNS tools, DNS hosting tests, WHOIS, traceroute, ping, and other network and domain name tools.

leads to this site:
Welcome to BringCom

Since their IP is based in the US, I'm pretty sure that a complaint to their NOC could result in a resolution, but I suspect not since they probably pay their bills and let's face it ... that's more important

One thing I have noticed about these guys is that they don't post, they predicate through PM. I'll be making a policy changed based on that fact shortly

"I am interested in FS: LOTS OF STUFF. What is the condition of LOTS OF STUFF?"
