He has access to people's PayPal account info. Y'know, credit card numbers, login and password. Harmless stuff like that.

Fortunately halik is being a good samaritan and e-mailing everyone who's submittied (legitimate) information to the site, telling them to change their passwords ASAMFP.

How do we know you're not going to do anything with those CC#s? Hmmm... good luck on "taking down" this website!

Going to put a direct link to that on a proxy that pings as fast as it can get replies.

Won't do much good on it's own though.

halik is on the level here, their site is open but we obviously arent going to spread info on how to access it. They are scamming people and getting paypal info. lets see some atot muscle for this one

I'm all for this, but as a suggestion, I imagine they have an image or something on their site. Constantly reloading THAT would create a lot more traffic for them than simply loading an index.html file. After all, images, even small ones, and MUCH larger than some 1.5 K index file.

Just a though if you can link to an image that doesn't give away TOO much info about the site layout.

IANAL, as the disclaimer goes, but...

Who exactly is going to press charges, the scammers? I imagine this would go over really well ;)

Edit: However, that wouldn't work if we WEREN'T helping to bring down a scam site, but some poor sucker's site. But the "qpaypal.us" domain name is very suspect.

This is NOT hosted via geocities.. It is hosted through YAHOO STORE.. they bought a .us domain site name from Yahoo Store . I don't think your schema will work.

i agree. basically this whole thing is pointless. best thing you can do is report them to whoever is their domain administrator.
