hrtbrk Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 It looks like it takes you to the snowager, BUT IT DOESN'T! No mods are here at the moment to remove him/the messages, so this is a public warning. BLOCK him from messaging you!!!!!! It's a cookie grabber!!! ETA: This has been happening quite often on the board today. Denisa also experienced this this morning: http://www.tdnforums.com/index.php?showtop...st&p=258517 Guessing we'll see another attack around 10pm PST when snowwy's awake again...

Mantis Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 hey thanks for the heads up, he sent me a message but now im not gonna click on it.. did iceox take your account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 No, he did not. I automatically blocked him the second he messaged me. I obviously moused over the link to see that it takes you to an entirely different location than the Neopets website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndsie Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I just got a PM from this icebox person. Hopefully they'll be stopped soon. Thanks for the heads up. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrtbrk Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Wait, is it Iceox or Icebox? I'm not sure :( HAHA For a second I thought you meant that I typed Icebox. *facepalm* I went to go edit it :* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadaw the Rampage Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 ive already sent the link to lan as i saw he was on, i did forget to inform him of the name of the account though ^^''' i figured he could get in touch with the other mods via msn or something where as i cant. i knew from the second someone said "i got a pm from a guy takeing me to the snow wagger" that it was a trap that and he's monitoring whats going on as he actually replied back when i messaged the account, ice box i mean.

Deepti M. Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 The username is iceox, not icebox. I blocked him, and i also recommend not making any views to his profile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisa Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 The person that sent me is uniitaly .It is sooooo frustrating that people stoop so low.We probably should be careful of all messages that we receive from newbies(as in not 1 post on the forum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masaryk Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I blocked this message as soon as I got it. I wish that there was a Report button for PMs, but I couldn't find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Well there's no report button for Personal Messages because they're meant to be just that: personal. If you encounter a malicious PM, please forward it to a moderator for them to take care of. :yes: And of course, make sure to check the destination of any links you're given before you actually follow the link (mouse over it and look at your browser's status bar).

The Darkest Faerie Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I read the PM, all I did was reply because unluckily for him/her, I already visited the snowager. I only replied with what I won earlier, so I have no need to worry. So I didn't check where the link led to, but I didn't click it either.

onime_no_kai Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thanks! Just after reading this I got an PM from 'hellooo' with thesame idea. Me too. *headdesk* I wish these idiots would GO AWAY already. Can't they go bother the people on WoW or something? :grrr: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubbles Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Whoa, I hope there isn't a CG in their profile. D: Luckily the snowager wasn't sleeping when I got that PM. > 3> Thanks for the heads-up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 That member has been permanently banned and all of their sent PMs have been deleted. Please let us know if you come across anything else suspicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thanks Ian :) Remember that you can always forward suspicious PM to any mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Nikki Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 or from guyty I was sent a PM about the Snowager and it was a CG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ðãrk_Ångê£ Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 'Guyty' is a keylogger as well. I almost fell for it too. I log in my name but not the password because I realized it wasn't the real Neopets link in the hyperlink. Mods, disable PMs for all new users. Make it so that you have to have 100 post to make a PM.

May. Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Oh, man. Seems like these CGers are everywhere. o_O Thanks for the heads up. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadaw the Rampage Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 perhaps as a general rule of thumb dont click any links {shrug} im more wondering why there poping up here now. {rubs my chin} its rather weird if i do say so myself.

Ruto Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Mods, disable PMs for all new users. Make it so that you have to have 100 post to make a PM. First of all, regular mods don't have the power to do that. That's something you have to take up with Ian. Second, it's not fair to other users to impose a post requirement in order to send a PM. If you get a message from a new user, always be suspicious and don't take it at face value. Forward any suspicious PMs to a moderator and we'll take care of it.
