Couple links to start the day.

So I woke up this morning to a couple cool links.

There are some really cool URL autocomplete functions in FireFox. Honestly…I never knew this functionality existed for the about:blank page. It’s kind of cool!

So if you haven’t heard, I am a pretty big fan of Project HoneyPot. This morning I saw in my twitter feed the following link to an imgur pic. Phishing scams are rampant nowadays and if you arent using a good spam filter things can get really messy. However every once in a while, the good guys get one over on the guys trying to steal from all of us.
When phishing scams aren’t well planned, you get the following:

Sad Spam Kitty




MMO Fraud…these guys are thieves and frauds.

These guys are all not only fake, but they aren’t doing to good on the covering it up department.
I play eve, and sometimes buy game time.
However I was out of Eve for a while and didnt realize I could reset codes directly from their website.
So, I canceled my order within 24 hours of placing it with the bogus guys since I found a much more safe method of getting my game time paid for.
Just then, I saw that they had already placed an email asking me for all my CC and ID info?! ..wait..from Google Checkout?!
Now, you may wonder how you got to my blog.
Simple, my SEO is WAY BETTER than these hooligans’.
You now get all the information you need to NOT EVER USE THESE GUYS!
If you’ve searched the net to find out the registrar info etc, lemme save you the pain.
Here is all my interaction with them…

I will add more as it becomes available.
