All I can say is "wow"... I just looked at the scam site and its an exact duplicate of the YarisWorld log-in page. I haven't ever logged into it, but I don't feel bad about changing my password anyway.

I figured he somehow managed to get a member master list and that's how he was hacking accounts.

Someone should report the website to the web hosting admin.

Edit: http://mariokiller64.us.to

Us.to doesn't have a website...

i just went over there...didn't log-in. The server recognizes your user ID...doesn't let you click onto the HOME PAGE, just the forums itself...its an exact mirror of this site w/ same posts....

I guess that is what fooled people easily..
Anyhow, i changed my password right after going there..

Looks like coheed is unbanned and back again~ Did you mods figure out how to overcome it?

TK-421 ban hammer ftw!!!


On a side, and more serious, note: Has anyone reported this domain to the .tk registrars? Last time I ran into someone scamming my steam id from steampowered.tk, I reported the site and it was removed within a week.

If no one has, I'll be sure to send out the e-mails this evening when I get more time.

Thanks, but this was a team effort.

I just sent them an e-mail. Hopefully they'll answer it soon.

Sorry, but I won't. If anything, it would probably make things more difficult for us mods to control. I hope you understand.

People with affected accounts should contact a moderator. That way we can coordinate a temporary lift of the ban so that they can change their passwords safely.

Yep thats pretty much it. I sent PK198105 a pm over on MI and he changed my password. Then I logged in with that one and reset it on my own.

No offense to the moderators, but I think it would be appropriate to notify the users that were banned as opposed to expecting them to contact you. I notice at least one NEW member was affected and is probably feeling a bit confused and/or insulted by the ban.

Seriously, when mods take an action on an account for any reason I would think the best thing to do for all involved is to take the time to send the account owner an email instead of leaving them wondering what the heck just happened.
