**BEWARE Mr.VCC ! ! ! **

<double post, please delete>

OK... Serious here...
OP, if I was the scamster, I'd know that I have a big, young (read: hookable), and a safe fish on the hook with such an unprofessional conversation. Nothing personal of course...

I mean, ... what was the need for that kind of probing? It's a dark world on the internet, so be cautious and don't give more of you (in all terms and meanings) to anyone out there. Sorry to be blunt my friend, but this is the truth of living and surviving online... I sincerely hope that you get your money and site back...

Lol, that is one horny scammer.

On topic: OP, I would recommend you to format your entire computer. I wouldn't back up anything as you don't know if the virus will carry over to the new installation. Then, I would contact oxonbeef and get in touch with his contact.

GL.

Thanks, guys.

Exactly. 419 is a complicated scam so to eliminate anyone who would be a waste of time they send out 500 000 of these emails to catch the 1 or 2 fools that they will work on.
Where do I Send it mate?
419 is a strait out scam, but to the foolish it seems like a good idea.
Same thing with spam it's cost over profit.
Do you think people would spam Viagra or replicas if it didn't yield a profit?

There's a quote I heard, that goes something like:

"The world may be new to me, but that does not mean that I am new to the world."

Do you know why Africans send emails saying they are princes with 1000 million dollars?
I'll pay $50 to the first person to post the answer.

That's easy . Because Africa is a continent that is known to still have real live "royalties" ( aka Head of Tribes) even up to this day. With the current economic state and Africa still being a goldmine with Natural Resources aka (diamond , Sliver , Gold , Oil , and many other natural and mineral resources) Many of the so called "Kings , and Princes" are still in control over countless resources, With that being said Tv/Movies has played a major role in the false presentation that All African "Kings, Princess" Are wealthy. Which in truth about 5% are really wealthy ( that's a conservative percentage by the way) Hence why when someone who doesn't have proper understanding or knowledge about the African society receives an email from them Claiming to be a prince with 100 million's dollar's They allow Greed to over take their logic state. And in the end people allow the greed of obtaining so much wealth overtake common sense that hey wait. a Prince has over 100 million dollar's and he needs me to transfer it? So many red flag automatically show's up in that equation but when Human Beings See $$$ we sometimes become blinded to the fact of whats really going on.

Greatly Honored, Oxon! I joyfully accept it from one of the best Hats on this great BHW forum! One more request, can you donate it to the best charity that you know of, please? When they are happy and smiling, then I too am with them!


Ok, of course, that answer wasn't so easy as it sounds!!! It has taken me long years to see / study those scams happen, and though there was scam written all over those mails, still mad and spell-bound people greedily lusted after those enticing words! Those lots of zeros meant nothing, yet the glare blinded lots of fools!

To spot the idiots from the normal people. The idiots will actually believe it, even though the sum is incredible Also to make you think that the 50$ they will ask for the transaction to be done isn`t that much, compared to the winnings, am I close or what ? I am waiting for my money lol )

Was going to do business with "Mister VCC" guess I will not be doing that anymore.

Thanks for your thread, I have blocked him on my skype. And sorry for what happened to you mate.

Is this the same Mr.VCC?

If so then he has less than 100 words in all his 16 comments on this forums and you felt confident enough to hand over $100 note to this strange man? Hmm... I'd blame only you for being so whatyoucallit. Sorry.

Anyway, you haven't also used the BST section with him (of course not!) which would have made your case a little more tolerable. IMHO, to do well in your online business, you should be more prudent in future.

Btw, thank PP only when you get your full money back. I don't think you will ever see that money because by the looks of it and his vocab., he isn't from US. So, if he takes the money out from there, then even PP won't be able to get it from him and then give it to you. GL.

Be careful dude. Not all that shines in BHW is gold. Some are real trash too.

@OP: Sorry that you have been scammed. I like your attitude toward it though...


Here is a solution to remove the virus.

1) Pass the following antivirus, on all computers which have your websites saved in Filezilla FTP client :

- http://www.malwarebytes.org/
- http://housecall.trendmicro.com
- http://www.avg.com

You can pick the free version of all antivirus. I believe you can replace your current antivirus by AVG which is trully the best one at the moment from my experience. I spare you the speach on the why you need to use several antivirus, and why you should pass scan every weeks or months but basically it is because antivirus are by definition always late when they publish virus patch as you may be already infected.

Clean the computer from potential infection. If AVG finds nothings, then it comes from the hosting provider's server, and i would recommand you to change it. (Hostgator safe value, or you can add me on skype)


2) Download Notepad++

-http://notepad-plus-plus.org

3) Assuming that you found the blackhole stuff on your computers : download your whole website from the public_html folder (every single file)
Place them into a folder

4) Open Notepad++
Type ctrl + F
Click on the tab "Search in the files of a folder"


In the field "Research" paste the code you have identified starting by based_64... the whole piece of it. If you don't know exactly where it starts or stop, send me a pastebin files of any file with the virus, i'll point it for you.
In the field "Replace" put nothing
Folder : You select the folder where is your website(s)
Then you hit "Replace Everything"

You let the program run and do the work.
Then you open a file where you know the virus was in, and you check if it is properly removed.

Then you upload and overwrite your files.


Good Luck

You meant "srb888", right!

Sorry, I wasn't being scammed here. Read the OP please.

And thank you for the gift. But I've already have it installed on my desktop system and am happy with it!

If you really need to help me, I am opening a thread where I am asking for help on how to get rid of "hacked by dbuzz". The bast*ad has infected by site and I've already asked the hosting service to look into it.... but I need all the info on how to get through it from our esteemed members here.

OP, please get along with your thread without any further interruptions.

OxonBeef, Isn't another big reason for the 419 to simply collect the email replies. Even if the email tells them to f'off, they know it's a valid email address that they can sell... probably as profitable as the scam itself (in bulk as they collect them of course).

@srb888 : haha indeed, i coorected it . THought you were OP.

Everyone learns this the hard way...once. Unfortunately, my "lesson" cost me more than $50. Oh well, it's life.

This has been moved to the shitlist section, and we're gonna need more proof than this. I've notified the accused of this thread and he has 24 hours to respond.

This could very well be two separate issues.

1. You paid someone to do a job, they didn't do it, thus it's a ripoff situation.
2. Your payment info was jacked and used for fraudulent purchases.

Could be mr.vcc did both, or it could be that you're so pwned it's ridiculous. Think about it, you're pwned. Chances are, it's not only the site that's infected; it's your system as well. You could've been swiped a million different ways by now, so I would suggest cleaning everything, including the computer you're using. The charges should be trivial to get reversed, get a new card, move on.

What really makes me squirm is that you're a reseller, which means it's quite possible that if you have clients, you've endangered them as well. That's just... no. Just, fucking stop. Seriously.
