Question

What's crimsonbuzz.com all about?

Answer 1

<<Did you know that your pics are all over crimsonbuzz.com (or other sites)?>> That's a message which many MySpace users have gotten, supposedly from either a relative or a close friend - so far I've seen reports on YA from:

azurezoom.com, crimsonopia.com, coralpad.com, deesphere.com, dynatoken.com, getemset.com, gingersphere.com, heycode.com, iconnik.com, phototradingspot.info, snapnik.com, tradepicsnow.com, ubzunit.com, wackserver.com, wackstate.com,



and a couple of others. When you follow the link included in the mail, you'll be led to a site which asks you for personal infos like name, mail account, passwords - you get the picture? Right, the site which supposedly has your pictures displayed, never had them, it doesn't even exist! The whole thing is just a phishing scam! And when you ask your contact, you'll find that he never send you the mail!

While checking up on crimsonbuzz.com, I found this whois site:

http://www.technolojik.net/listeme.php?f... ,

at least 7 of the scam domains listed above are also listed on the whois site and belong to the same guy supposedly living in Las Vegas. This is the link to the domain info for crimsonbuzz.com:

http://www.technolojik.net/whois/whois_s...

The owner info for "crimsonbuzz.com, getemset.com, heycode.com, ubzunit.com, wackserver.com, wackstate.com and coralpad.com" is identical! Should you have gotten a similar phishing scam like the one described above, I strongly suggest to forward the original message with full headers to the links below:

[e-mail]

http://www.spamcop.net/

Federal Trade Commission [e-mail]

Treasury Department [e-mail]

http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/re... - this site contains links for various countries

Here's how to do the forwarding bit: click the crtl key and at the same time click the "forward" button to forward a message as an attachment, mac users should click the "apple" key and click "forward" simultaneously.
