So my email address is a pretty common phrase. As a result I get 5-10 emails a week from people (usually kids) that use it to sign up for stupid websites and stuff. It's annoying, but not the end of the world. So yesterday I started getting emails from this little girl who thought it would be fun to send out emails to random people. The first two were:

Quote :

"hihihihihihhihhihihihihi"

and

Quote :

"who r u? i just randomly typed that. i am alice. what school do u go2? "

Which I ignored. Hoping she would just think that nobody had the email address and leave me alone. No such luck. This morning I get:

Quote :

"are you a boy or girl? I WANT 2 KNOW WHO U R!! I AM A GIRL NAMED ALICE. WHO R U?WHAT SCHOOL DO U GO 2? EXPLAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

followed by:

Quote :

"i can bother u all i want diggi dog"

Then later:

Quote :

"all i am asking u 2 do is answer my freggn' questions! i forgot 2 ask u if u speak english! do u? r u a girl? a boy? i do not think those are difficult questions. even if u are dumb, i still expect u 2 respond!all i am asking u 2 do is answer my freggn' questions! i forgot 2 ask u if u speak english! do u? r u a girl? a boy? i do not think those are difficult questions. even if u are dumb, i still expect u 2 respond!"

and:

Quote :

"hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"

Quote :

"hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhaha "

And then finally the payoff:

Quote :

"what is yo password 2 gmail? mine is turtleslamas (do not tell anyone) do u have a friend named Savannah? i do. "

So I tried to log into her account and sure enough, that really was her password. I checked her sent folder and it looked like I wasn't the only one that she had been pestering. Her inbox was full of people that were asking her to leave them alone. I decided to put a stop to this once and for all.

I went into her preferences and changed the answer to her secret question. Then I changed the alternate email address, and finally I changed the password. Then I booted her active account off on the off chance that she decided to re-change her password. So she's officially locked out with no way to get back in.

I alllllmost felt bad after I did it. But that went away quickly. Just wondering what everybody else would have done in this situation.

1/18/2010 8:32:36 PM

I'd probably ask her for nudes..

It's not quite that bad, but something like that.

Quote :

"spoken like someone who has never tried gmail. which btw is awesome"

Who was this directed towards?

Quote :

It's not like I just randomly selected someone to fuck with. She started it, I just ended it. And rather quietly. If I wanted to fuck with people that don't really deserve it, I easily could. My address has been used as the secondary address for over 20 addresses. If I wanted to I could ask for a reset password on all of those shut them down as well. But that would be straght up mean for almost no reason.

Well, see, I already have one. But you can feel free to go ahead and do that whenever the mood strikes you.

1/18/2010 8:34:11 PM

you just got chinese hacked

1/18/2010 8:35:08 PM

Sounds like Chris Hansen is going to have to sign up for another gmail now.

1/18/2010 8:35:20 PM

Something tells me that this person was not at all affected by your 'sneaky solution'. Personally, I would have just manually filtered after hihihihihihhihhihihihihi.

I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

How's that? She no longer has access to her google account now.

Yeah, but where's the fun in that?

1/18/2010 8:39:03 PM

i'd do the same thing

1/18/2010 8:40:42 PM

Sounds like exactly what she deserved, and hes not being a bully, she practically asked for it.

I guess amac is jealous that I've added more actual content to TWW in this one shitty thread than he's added in all his 19,000 posts combined.

1/18/2010 8:49:53 PM

That's awesome and fantastic.

1/18/2010 9:15:52 PM

Of course it was.

1/18/2010 9:17:35 PM

good work, son

1/18/2010 10:09:10 PM

I bet if you'd dug around in "her" account a little more, you would have found some super interesting email with a super enticing down-loadable file that would have super rapzored your computer.

1/18/2010 10:09:28 PM

I hope you did this from a public computer, because its a felony offense.

of course, you just 'fessed up


so.... hire a lawyer?

1/18/2010 10:12:12 PM

haha, that's funny

but all she has to do is register for a new account and she'll probably start pestering you again

1/18/2010 10:14:26 PM

Holy fucking side scroll Batman

So what happens when she signs up for another Gmail account and restarts the cycle?

1/19/2010 12:46:05 AM

i mean that doesn't seem too obvious... but i guess a little kid would say something like that.

1/19/2010 12:47:20 AM

what's your email???

1/19/2010 12:55:09 AM

1

1/19/2010 12:56:15 AM

LOL...i cant believe you fell for that! I would go through and reset all your passwords. I'll try and find the link to this story but basically you're not the first or last to have this happen to them. The scam is that they basically annoying the fuck out of you then give you their password in hopes you'll login to their account but by doing so they get access to personal info you might have stored on your computer, saved passwords, ip, location etc. Not sure how it works exactly or why but apparently its been going around.

1/19/2010 12:56:54 AM

^ i agree that it was probably a phishing attempt.

but if you think that by merely logging into a gmail account, that your own personal data can be compromised by a third party.... well you dont really have any idea how the interwebs work.

1/19/2010 1:19:10 AM

on a scale of 1-10, this is a zero.

It's not really either funny or mean...it's just fixing the glitch.

1/19/2010 1:24:26 AM

yeah I'm not scrolling right to read all this stuff

gg amac

1/19/2010 1:29:59 AM

cool story bro

1/19/2010 2:48:42 AM

ahahahahha, hilarious. gg, brah. you handled it perfectly.

though you should have written down the alternate email and sent emails from her gmail account to her alternate email.


ahahha

I only changed it from whateveritwas to whateveritwas222, so that's still an option.
