The post is so long

Agreed. I had actually wanted to make my reply to other members unsafe assumptions about Internet safety & explaining what "phishing" was, and my reply to amk, as two separate posts. However, I had noticed that recently members have been getting repeatedly chastised lately for back-to-back posts, and instructed by mgmt to use "multi-quotes" and put everything in one long post.

keep the giant letters out. A simple "bold" will get the points across.

I was using that to emphasize the serious nature of the dangers involved. When you're being sent to a site THAT dangerous, that it's actually well-known by criminals as the best place to get hacked & your PayPal & bank account stolen, mere bold is not nearly sufficient emphasis to properly reflect the danger involved.

Now that that's done, if you don't want to "waste more time", don't waste more of ours.

:wtf:

Sorry if you found my warning ppl of the dangers involved, or for repeatedly trying to get a functioning & safe way to pay for this GB, a "waste of time".

You have been criticizing other members here for not being quick enough in paying for this GB. You need to make up your mind!

But if you are going to improperly criticize me, at least get your facts straight...

...has been a trusted member here for a couple of years; you've been around a few months.

I've been lurking here since 2008, been a member here since the beginning of 2009, and have experience with these issues for a LOT longer than that.

LOL!

Glad you obtained benefit from my post. :)

You might want to fire-up some heavy-duty AV pgms as well. ;)

Oh crap, get out the tin hat :tinfoil:

You might as well chuck your computer off the nearest overpass, because it is always doing things that you can't see.
 
Re: ►AMK GB◄ ~ SF-AW210 Diodes $10 Each

sending funds now for 20 diodes, batch 3. I think it's diodes since I would rather take the diodes out myself too. I think I read that it was just diodes since China was removing them.
I rewad back a bit and pay.

You can pick diodes or sleds. Sleds are damaged, but the diodes still work. Sleds may or may not also have a red LCC diode.

Not true. Off the top of my head, I can think of at least two ways -

A shady site hits your PC with a "drive-by", and then forwards you to PayPal. When you login, your PayPal info is then transmitted to the hacker.

This could happen even WITHOUT amkdeath's knowledge, if he was infected, or he was hosting his pay page on a shady server popular with hackers (he WAS).

A year or two ago, I got "tagged" by a drive-by zero-day exploit, so I have first-hand experience (unfortunately) just what these things can do! :mad:

Or, there are also technical tricks they can do to make it LOOK like it forwarded you to PayPal, when it sent you somewhere else instead. You enter your PayPal login, and that is then saved by the hacker.

PalPal even warns ppl about this, that is why they say if the link looks questionable, you should manually type-in their address into your browser's address bar instead.

Because so many ppl have a careless attitude about Internet security, these techniques have become INCREDIBLY popular with hackers & scammers. So much so, that it even has a popular name - "PayPal phishing".



Pontiacq5, that's not how phishing works. How you find out you have been "phished", is sometime in the future, when your bank account is suddenly overdrawn, and you find out it is because your life savings had been sent to some guy in Bosnia! :eek:

Again, this could be done without AMKDEATH's knowledge, due to the incredibly bad choices he was making as to what sites to use for his pay page! :undecided:

The site he was using is very popular with scam artists, spammers & hackers, and has a VERY bad reputation as a dangerous place to visit! :scared:

See for yourself! -

Fake Viagra spammers -
viagra site:110mb.com - Google Search
Porn spammers (nsfw) -
cum site:110mb.com - Google Search

Even worse, the site he was using has a PARTICULARLY bad reputation for PHISHING exploits! It's like the #1 site for PayPal & bank account phishing!

So much so, that several phishing "hacker tutorials" specifically recommend would-be criminals to use the same site he put his pay page on! :eek: :eek: :eek:

The other site is not much better, indeed, on the "malicious content" page I got when I tried to pay AGAIN Friday, they even had a warning about how that site is very popular with scammers who use it -



Nice. What's next, 4chan? :rolleyes:



Not when I tried it several times Thursday. And not when I tried again to pay you on your "new" site Friday either. :(



PayPal might be, but the site you were linking ppl to first is anything but! :eg:



You keep saying that like it's suppose to impress me or something. I've been doing REAL web sites (not this free hosting crap) since the mid 90's! 2007? Hell, I've got SOCKS older than that! :crackup:

But if you are such the expert, answer me this -

Why are you hosting your pay page on known scumbag/hacker sites? :tsk:



Um, forgive me, but it appears you simply copied the payment page to the new server? :rolleyes:

In fact, you didn't even bother to update it to point to the new host! -



Which also appears to be re-directing ppl to that dangerous 110mb instead after they paid? :rolleyes:

Was that intentional, or simply carelessness on your part? Either way, why should that make us trust our online shopping safety to your programming abilities??? :thinking:



I can understand if a server that is popular with unsavory characters might review new sites before bringing them online. But your new site was ALREADY activated (I saw it), before something caused your hosting company to take your site down when I then tried to pay you!

This is what I was greeted with when I tried to pay you Friday...



And you don't understand why I might be worried? :thinking:



This statement makes no sense.

As I already indicated in my prior post, your PayPal addy is ALREADY publicly visible! Anybody can simply click-through your pay page, click the Pay with PayPal button, and it's in HUGE BOLD LETTERS on the top of the screen!

So the claim that ppl can't pay you safely via PayPal directly because "I don't want to give out my PayPal addy" is total BS.



Then why are you requiring ppl to go through business shopping software, hosted on unsavory / unsafe locations, :undecided: instead of just letting members here pay you directly and safely via PayPal?



I did.

I tried to pay you several times Thursday using the method you requested, but was unable to do so because of problems on your end.

When I politely requested you to PM me with alternative payment info, instead of PM'ing me, or even saying anything like "sorry for the problems with my site", you instead respond to my polite enquiry with this sort of nonsense -



:wtf:

Not exactly the PM response I was expecting, to say the least. :rolleyes:

Even after this, I tried YET AGAIN to pay you on Friday, using the NEW link you later provided, but was AGAIN unable to do so, this time getting a warning message about "malicious content" from your hosting company instead! :mad:

Even worse, you have been complaining that this GB is being held-up, because ppl aren't paying you fast enough!

Look, at the same time I was trying to pay YOU, I also purchased something from another member.

I asked him to PM me his PayPal addy. Unlike you, he actually PM'd me back and sent it. I paid him Thursday (the same day I repeatedly tried to pay you on your f'd-up hacker-popular site without success). I PM'd him back and forth about product details and best shipping options. He shipped it to me Friday (the same day I AGAIN tried to pay you on your second site, and got a "malicious content" warning instead). I expect to be receiving the item from him shortly.

Like you, he was not selling at a profit, but was doing this for the benefit of the LPF community.

But he was not lamenting about what a charitable service he was doing for everybody, or using that as an excuse for making paying him so unsafe and difficult either. ;)

Look, I've ALREADY wasted more time trying to use your TWO flakey web sites than this sled is even worth! If your locating your pay page on a known phishing/scam site was "accidental" :rolleyes: (let alone the "malicious content" warning I got when I tried to pay on your second site!), and are simply "offering a service to the community" as you claim, given these repeated, bizarre circumstances, why don't you allow us to pay you directly using PayPal's safe & secure site?

Particularly given the bizarre circumstances, an honest & helpful member should not have a problem with that.

I don't know if I am going to read all of that. The point is, I know enough about phishing scams and hacking, I code in 3 languages. They can inject a script into your website to do things that you would not want it to do. What you don't realize is when I say my page is safe I say it for a reason.

Count how many times I've said this, i am serious:

How SECURE CART SOFTWARE WORKS:
The cart is hosted on a 3rd party server.
You add to "cart", which is actually on another server.
You click continue with paypal, and a certain "code" is sent through the URL to paypal linking to my paypal address.
You do the transaction on PAYPALS OWN PAGE.

You cannot be forwarded to a phishing paypal site unless I want to scam you myself.

I know I am being hypocritical about not reading your whole post, as I am anal about people who don't read and type. But the fact of the matter is I don't have 5 minutes to waste on how you think my page has been scamming people for 3 years. It's not even hosted on 110mb anymore, if you paid attention.


Please pay or STOP POSTING HERE. And if you decide NOT TO PAY then Please kindly stay away from my group buys. You are only hurting the community.

I think you are implying that I am trying to scam the community. I started using 110mb to host pictures that I wanted to post on LPF back when I first started. At the time I did not have an imageshack account. When I started my first group buy I already had that account, so I just posted the pages on the 110mb site, in order to save time. In fact, it's not even amkdeath.110mb.com, its amk123.

I am just trying to find a reason to keep my cool here. I have no idea what to say. I guess this is what I get for trying to put my time and my effort into helping the community. I become a scammer because some guy who knows how to right click a webpage and view source thinks I am a hacker. While you were looking though the code, maybe you should have double checked for injected malicious scripts.

Once again, as a new member they hand check websites to make sure that:
1) I am human
2) I am not a scammer
3) I am not posting porn
4) I am not violating ToS

I made the site, and a couple hours later they sifted through my code. Checking a website for malicious content does not mean it contains any. Would it still be online now if it did? Read up on their ToS

If you are just going to flame and convince people that my secure payment page is a scam, please leave. I will let people judge for themselves. I have been offering bargain GB's on this forum for a long time. When I joined this forum 16x Red diodes from korea were top of the line. I have yet to have ONE SINGLE PERSON complain that they have been hacked, scammed, or swindled.

My site has also been hand checked by GoogleCheckout and Paypal Staff, I have the e-mails to prove it. They check to make sure nothing is going wrong. You do not enter ANY and I repeat ANY info until you are on Paypal/GC's secure SSL encrypted page.

And the reason I do not want you to paypal me money directly is I use outlook to sort the GB, and the info you input into the shopping cart like "batch #" and "LPF ID" get automatically sorted when I go to print labels and ship. Going through and hand labeling payments causes trouble, and once again, as I am no businessman, I could care less if you don't like the fact that I don't think the customer is right. I am not going to inconvenience myself more so you can get cheap ass sleds. This is a group effort. If you are here to F*k that up, then please leave.

Re: ►AMK GB◄ ~ SF-AW210 Diodes $10 Each

Re: ►AMK GB◄ ~ SF-AW210 Diodes $10 Each

LASER66 PAID for 20 sleds including extra shipping.
Web site link to Paypal seems LEGIT, as it asked my to choose my address, and this is an issue I have seen with the true paypal site.

Re: ►AMK GB◄ ~ SF-AW210 Diodes $10 Each

Ok, we are now waiting on 1 sled to be bought, and we will be on our way with batch three. Seeing as this was a very troublesome batch it will probably be the last for the time being.

Regards,

amk
