Default Brand New Phishing Alert 7-27-08
Be careful! I am passing this warning here because an ex-member of [da] known as Joker who also went by [LoC]Joker - Why So Serious , is running around stealing accounts. He is currently changing his account alias to different names like automated computer message and more. I have an image here below.

He didn't get his account stolen as he has changed it back to talk to pulse for a bit. He even made a fake site to attempt to fool people into giving him their account info. Please do not fall for this hoax. Here is my image. Galinaros will be on shortly to pass along his images with full responses from joker himself laughing it up about wanting to steal accounts in steam friends.

These are what his links were supposed to go to. I guess he was going to resize them. Sorry for the image size.

He tried that on me earlier tonight, what a jerk. Removed him from friends.

Joker here, I seriously did not think of this happening, two friends of mine sent it to me and said to send it to my friends as a joke. So I thought "yeah why not" to get a laugh or two, I sent it to some people, and I only sent it to the people that I would think laugh at and just X the window. I don't know how i will regain their trust or any one's trust anymore. I feel like a complete moron for this. I didn't think twice before this, I know I should of and it is just my fault. I would love if Galinaros and everyone else believe and accept my apology. This got out of hand as a joke and was not meant to harm anyone. What ever punishment i receive, i deserve.

Remember, there are two sides of every story. We should hear Joker's side of the story. He appears like a good kid to me, but he does have his moments. I did at 15. I think we all did at 15 or some point in our lives. Right?

This is now between Joker and the Head SP Admin to discuss. We should not be the ones to judge him on this thread.

There's a difference between a funny youtube video that you send around laughs and a phishing scam that you send around for laughs, people only laugh at the first one...

I was not trying to scam, I was just showing them how funny the actual message is, and how people actually fall for it.

IF stealing STEAM accounts is what you thunk is funny then man, we need to chat. In every picture, there is our clan group behind it. This gives us a bad name. You need to learn when overdoing it is really over doing it.

You disgust me, how can you think that people will find it funny to lose their account ? And you even try to phish some of your friends... It's sad you can't be gbl for that because stealing accounts or even attempting to steal accounts is my opinion a GBL offence, but since you didn't ask people on the servers you won't get anything.

Phishing is not '' funny ''.

Thread locked until Spawnpoint staff discuss this matter.
