repo Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 not happy with this bollocks will defo encourage people not to have a account with them
wolstech Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) He got banned for Phishing. Posting this just earned him a forum ban too. What I don't know, is why he was banned for phishing to begin with. I didn't ban him, and I can't find any true phishing on his account. EDIT: Just realized I was looking in the wrong account. His username here belongs to someone else on Ricky...re-researching the correct account (fladnag). EDIT 2: I still can't figure out why this is banned. I see a copy of Open Web Analytics, and that's about it. On the bright side, his copyright claims are nonsense. Perhaps Krydos knows. I am going to leave his forum account unbanned, since I still have no idea why this account is even marked as Phishing to begin with. I can't find any form of malware or phishing site on it, there's nothing in the mail folders, and no abuse report. I suspect it may be the filenames used by his software... Edited September 18, 2018 by wolstech Why in the world is this phishing? 1
Krydos Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 This account was reported to me by google as being a harmful site. So it could have been malware, viruses, phishing, social engineering, etc. Looking at his files it might be that someone gained access to upload files onto his account which may have been later deleted prior to the suspension. Google doesn't provide support of any sort so there is no one to ask what the issue was, but from years of experience this would have been the first time a google report like this was a false positive. Since the domain was suspended the google dangerous site warning has been removed, and there is no way to see what file(s) or page(s) originally created the warning in the first place. I'm willing to unsuspend the site if the user wants another try, but if google reports this domain as harmful again it will just be suspended again.
