Umut66 0 Posted September 22, 2009 Hello Everybody, I know this is the wrong section BUT topic dont get any attention at "Off Topic" so i need to put this here...Pls forgive me about this... Today (Tuesday night) Fay contact me with her Facebook account and told me that she stuck in London (She was robbed) and she want 850 GBP from me... I actually dont believe that i am talking to Fay "herself" (as i am police offcer) i asked her some easy questions about herself, about Sumo World, her personal website about Sumo and even her Favorite Sumo Wrestler... She (probably hacker) couldnt answer any of these questions and went offline... Pls be cautious about this...could be not Fay herself... @Umut PS. I was bumped out from Fay's friends in Facebook when our conversation ended (with hacker probably) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fay 1,676 Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks Umut!!! It wasn't me, I'm in Tokyo, no robbery, everything is ok. I deactivated my album some time ago but it seems someone has hacked it. Changed the password and deactivated it again. Hope it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ragerkawa 0 Posted September 22, 2009 This is a common scam. I've gotten e-mails from two "friends" who were stranded. Of course, neither of them were. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sekihiryu 51 Posted September 23, 2009 some advice for the wary - make your important passwords long and difficult. A mixture of uppercase, lower case, numerals and punctuation characters. For example: sumoforum is a crappy password, Su#Mo!fORum%39 is much better and and much harder to crack. Just make sure you can remember it ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doitsuyama 1,156 Posted September 23, 2009 For example: sumoforum is a crappy password, Su#Mo!fORum%39 is much better and and much harder to crack. Just make sure you can remember it ;-) I just hate it when I am in a foreign country with a different keyboard layout, and one of the keys you need for your password is nowhere to be seen. So that's another consideration to take. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
