Hi all,
This post is actually to try and help out a friend of mine. She was tricked into giving up her password to her yahoo account. She has actually met this guy in person and gave up the account due to threats he made. She has since been contacted by the person who now controls her old account and has been told that for her to regain the account she has lost she must appear naked on webcam for him. He is aware of her new account and has been contacting her frequently and continuing his demands. She is rightly very upset and right now just wants her old account shut down so no-one is able to use it. Can someone please advise if there is any method by which this may be done asap.
Thanks in anticipation.
January 24, 2007 at 4:44 pm #157291Mac_BlueMemberI take it your friend met that “guy” online first?
Honestly, I would get the IP addy of that guy, report him and also get the police involved. He is threatening her, make sure she has logs of their conversations/emails. And let Yahoo know what has happened.
January 24, 2007 at 5:12 pm #157290DermotParticipantYahoo! retain all original information from an account, i suggest she rings yahoo! and details them about her problem and they will ask her about the original information on her account no matter how many times he has changed the information.
They will return her account to her if the information is correct that she gives them, if that part works out fine i suggest she either..
1. change the zipcode and e-mail on the account
2. Contact local authorities about been harrassed by this person
3. Get the account back then just have yahoo delete it and start off fresh with another account and stay away from people like him.
You can contact yahoo! with the following information here
January 25, 2007 at 2:27 am #157282Jeff HesterKeymasterWhats the Yahoo ID that she wants shut down? I want to see if there is a phishing page attached. I will remove it in seconds if there is. post it here or send private messege. Send his ID I will see if I can get his removed also.
January 26, 2007 at 11:11 pm #157297z_a_1998MemberWe have a guy like that in our room,he is the one there that is using the new booter ans he has taken alot of accounts and does the same thing to women there,says if you show me this I’ll give your account back and not boot you anymore. This just isn’t right.We have told them all to report it to yahoo,but they have reported things before and yahoo didn’t do anything so they changed IDs and try to hide.
January 27, 2007 at 12:14 am #157283Jeff HesterKeymasterThese kind of guys set up phishing webpages on geocities. I would need the victim’s IM name that was stolen and the IM name of the guy that stole them to check for phshing. Its been my hobby deleteing Phishing webpages and Id’s attached to the webpage, ever since my account was stolen.
Yahoo! can help you get your account back if it was deleted, not from phishing. Yahoo! claims you can but you can’t. Becouse yahoo asks you your zip code, secret question you gave, only thing is, if your account has been stolen those two thing are changed.
Whats the point in makeing a post about stolen accounts, if you don’t give ID names for the victims or the guy who is takeing them.
January 27, 2007 at 1:46 pm #157292airwizardParticipantHi everyone,
Thanks so much for your replies. I have passed them on to my friend and she is keen for something to be done. Cchris78, the account he has been using that he took from her was aussie_chick1975. Like I said he has been in constant contact with her saying that if she wants her old ID back that she needs to get naked on cam for him. This guy is scum and I hope you or anyone else are able to get rid of him. He only uses her old accound to make his demands as he has her new account added to his contacts after she sent a PM to her old account demanding it’s return. She is not sure of his old account but thinks it was azaturbo but is unsure if it also had numbers in the id.
I hope you are able to help her and am keen to find out how you go!Thanks again for your assistance. 🙂
January 27, 2007 at 1:58 pm #157284Jeff HesterKeymasterHave her look at the photo on azaturbo9’s Yahoo! profile to see if it is him. it is the same guy that owns azaturbo’s Yahoo! profile also have her look at Yahoo! 360° – Aza’s Profile to see if it is him.
All three I am pretty sure is the same guy
January 27, 2007 at 2:26 pm #157293airwizardParticipantThanks for the super speedy reply!
I have spoken with her and she assures me that azaturbo is our guy. She also freaked out when she saw the pic on azaturbo9 profile. She believes that he may also have another account under the azaturbo banner but is not certain. Not sure if you are able to check that out! Thank you so much for all your help. It is very much appreciated.
January 27, 2007 at 2:34 pm #157285Jeff HesterKeymasternot 100% sure but this is an au profile azaturbo4’s Yahoo! profile
January 27, 2007 at 2:42 pm #157294airwizardParticipantShe has looked at the last profile link you sent but cannot be sure if it is his or not. She believes it may be as he apparently told her that he had another profile in the azaturbo collection. Not sure if this information is of any use to you. Again, Thanks!
January 27, 2007 at 3:28 pm #157286Jeff HesterKeymasterSorry I am not much of a help anymore.
January 27, 2007 at 3:31 pm #157295airwizardParticipantCchris78, thank you sooo much for all you have done, it has been a huge help. I am hoping that someone else may be able to assist and shut this creep down. We will have to wait and see.
Once again, thank you.January 27, 2007 at 3:39 pm #157287Jeff HesterKeymasterdid she try to get her account back with? https://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_forgot_pw
Maybe he is stupid and did not change anything but the password?
January 27, 2007 at 3:45 pm #157296airwizardParticipantI think she is going to try that path, i’ll let you know how it all pans out!
