It has come to our attention that there's a msn user with the name "Rave Adelaide" using [email removed] as their email, we are told that there are similar free email addresses in circulation with raveadelaide as the username (ie raveadelaide@gmail etc etc)

Rather than speculate on the motive for such MSN personas we would like to remind you of some common sense.

Rave Adelaide will NEVER ask for your password, we have the ability to reset it if need be (although we cannot view it, so dont ask us)

If in doubt of the validity of a purported admin/moderator conversing with you via email or an IM application drop one of the admin a PM, or email us ([email removed]).

If you suspect that your account has been breached let us know through the means listed above so we can investigate it further.

I don't have a clue as to why people would want to break into raveadelaide accounts, that's both stupid and a waste of time.

No account hijack attempts have been made to my knowledge (and i'm pretty sure this user is playing another game) but there's no harm in just a firendly reminder to protect your accounts 040_thumbsup.gif

But woj is right - no harm in warning people about it - the things he suggests in his OP are common sense anyway! I can't believe how many people fall for scams that ask for their bank details or passwords.

Woj/Spadge surely it's worth an e-mail to hotmail/MSN support to check if the [email removed] account can be shut down, wouldn't it breach their TOS? Gmail too.

Hotmails care factor would be too low for that...

And who is to say this individual just isnt a raver from Adelaide? If you try that then you could probably say that my hotmail breaches the TOS too as it is named after the football ground of Chelsea FC and I am not a legitimate owner of the rights as I do not own the football pitch. You could say the same for about 50% of hotmail aliases I would assume.

You can't say they are "just a raver from adelaide" if they are using that account to pry info from RA'ers about their accounts. I hope if anyone does get this person contacting them, they have the good sense to turn on message history on MSN

i got a dumb ass scam last night, comes in the form of a email...

"hi Yancey. I got your adress from the internet. i have
made a site and have borrowed a few pictures.
http://www.ravephotos.cjb.net/ i hope you don't mind.

Roy"

from Hardcore Legend <[email removed]>

if you click on the link it shuts down your pc (not mac)

it came from the ip 210.11.54.206 which is an esc account here in S.A. and i already have worked out who it belongs to.. but just in case they try it on others (which they always do) i posted it.
