[compuwiz1]

I just received and email from them. (It may not be them, but a scam)

Here is the message text from the email:

Dear Customer,

& we might loss some of our Customers information. So we ask
you to fill this form:
form


Best regards,
Kaypro Support


This could be a scam! Do not ever follow a link and give your credit card number, especially on an unsecured form like that!

ps, they couldn't even spell correctly!

Hehe, most definitely is. Check it out. The link you gave is to kaypro.net. When you click HOME, it goes it kaypro.com...interesting. Checking out some info on networksolutions, I think it's time to call the FBI...

Yeah, most definately a fraud.

 

[The Stigenator]

forward a copy of this message to kaypro.com's webmaster and fbi while you are at it.

 

[Pretender]

ROFL. Damn that is one nice scam they got going. Who/How do we submit this to get this punk down for a while?

 

[sharkeeper]

hehehehe

That form allows blank submissions!

I just sent them 1000 blanks!

Tossers!

Cheers!

 

[MiniThug]

Definantly let the guys at kaypro.com know about this

 

[The Stigenator]

if anybody notice.. the orignial kaypro site is database driven and .asp tag. However the imposter site is a .htm

on top .. the guy seem to be saving it to a frontpage results form.

 

[Static911]

scam version 1.00 (amateur) <sp?>

[Pretender]

Blank? That wastes no space. There doesn't seem to be a limit on the text boxes, put 5000 characters in each, and send that 5000 times. 325 MB of crap!

 

[StealthX32]

I would, but I can't get on kaypro.com

 

[compuwiz1]

I've done business with the real Kaypro, and found them to be a decent company.

I can't log into their site either. I wonder if they got hacked. How would this scammer know I was a customer of theirs?

 

[ltk007]

Holy crap, I was spamming them with crap entires and I was getting a sustained rate of 800KB/s up!!!!! Woah, why the hell is my ftp server so slow if my upload is uncapped?

 

[The Stigenator]

It could be the server is down.

Wait until tuesday.. because mwave also has teh problem.
it could be a pure concidence

 

[Pretender]

I'm only on 56k, but I'm doing my best to get my 10 entries per minute
