'Cirtex hosting' - suspicious MSN contact
Several people (including myself) have been contacted by an @cirtexhosting.com address via MSN - for example in this case; billing@cirtexhosting.com. Sometimes, whoever it is contacts customers, ex-customers and even non-customers demanding cPanel information.
I am not even a Cirtex customer, and only accepted the add request to see the inevitable and share the logs.
billing@cirtexhosting.com (E-mail address not verified) says:
i'am gary
billing@cirtexhosting.com (E-mail address not verified) says:
billing support of cirtex
billing@cirtexhosting.com (E-mail address not verified) says:
so give me quickly your cpanel login and password
Jamie says:
Why?
billing@cirtexhosting.com (E-mail address not verified) says:
I tell you that we have a problem of athentification you understand or not?
billing@cirtexhosting.com (E-mail address not verified) says:
so quickly sir
Jamie says:
You authenticate yourself to me before I hand over and details
billing@cirtexhosting.com (E-mail address not verified) says:
Ok I will seek your information manually and your account will be suspended by the company ok?
billing@cirtexhosting.com (E-mail address not verified) says:
thanks and have a nice time.

Are the @cirtexhosting.com addresses verified? (through MSN) If they are, there might be a problem.

Basically; MSN lets you register anything, even stuff like lolhax@fbi.g0v - you will be able to add the email to your msn list, but you can't change its name from "not verified" until you click the link in the email..

HAHA
Yeah I'm surprised they're going after cirtexhosting when there are others out there much bigger with probably easier people to target (less knowledge).█ Tony B. - Chief Executive Officer

Has anybody actually contacted Cirtex about this yet? They can click an alternative link in the email to disable the account (if they have that address set up).
I guess I'll send them a friendly poke towards this thread.

Its pretty sad to see someone doing something like this. I think Cirtex sending out an email to their clients would help.

Thanks for clarification Cirtex, but can you tell us who if support@cirtexhosting.com is your true MSN or not?
Its listed in your WHT profile, as MSN contact.
I have experienced same as the thread starter, but he did not contacted me .. I did contact at that email and also, it was not saying (NOT VERIFIED).

"athentification" ... That enough should be alone for anyone to block that guy.

Amusing, indeed.
Am I the only one wondering how did exactly this kid obtain all those msn contacts of people hosted at cirtex ? o_O' ... Maybe cirtex has a public forum where people post their msn contacts ?"I want" never gets ...
