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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

^ 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.

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

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