Well the other day we had a new sign up, no questions about the service or anything. After about 5 mins after this guy signed up we noticed a big server load increase on one of our servers. We looked at the usage and found that this new account was going nuts. We logged into the server and found files that were sending out mail thruogh php and saying they were ebay. We shut down the account right away and took the files just in case. The wierd thing is we called paypal and they said they did not even know the account had any problems. Well anyways the domain is not even registered so just a heads up to everyone to look out for the domain dorelsimariosn.com. I am sure he will change the domain again, but I am not sure if the account holder has even noticed yet or if this guy is really the account holder because they have not even asked for the money back for the account. The name used is Yunuen Plata, anymore than that please pm for more info as I am not sure how much I am aloud to list.

Just a heads up

Give them a week they will file a complaint :rolleyes:

Do you have IP's? That is the most useful bit for reporting to ISP's etc etc ...

We have the IP, it traces back to a AOL account. Have already reported it to the FBI as we were told to by paypal. But other than that we are just waiting for the money to be taken back.

Spammers most likely don´t pay by their own creditcards.

I once reported and got closed a spamers hotmail account all by tracing a spam message (yes, hotmail did close down the account!).
I found some other reports about their domain and even the name of the cardholder paying for the domain(!).
It was asumed (as a usual matter) that the card was a stolen one.

I don´t remember the domain and i don´t think it matters anymore.
I learned a bit thogh :-)

But to be a bit off subject for a while;
I´ve been doing some hosting business for a while with personal relations only to my clients.
That is an easy way to manage a market so a lot of your experiences don´t apply (tereby not that agressive moneywise -and it IS going to cange).

Now, after reading around this forum a new world opens to me and it is really great! You people are awesome, this is fun!
