Hacked and I want revenge ! (1 Viewer)

Well, maybe. I woke up this morning and saw 2 e-mails in my inbox, one confirming my order from Walmart.com for a new video card or something, and a second saying the transaction was denied due to information that didn't match. Apparently, some jagoff tried to order something with my billing info and it got stopped - hallelujah for that.

Now, the confirmation e-mail for the original order shows the name and shipping address that the order was placed to deliver to. Brief research shows me that the name is Malaysian/Indonesian in origin and the address is some sort of science/engineering lab on the campus of Florida Atlantic University. I shot an e-mail to Walmart.com's customer support and asked them what my recourse is as far as pursuing action against the hacker and they ignored that and responded by deleting my payment information and canceling my account and telling me if I ever want to place an order again, I'll need to register a new account with a new e-mail address and a different credit card. Awesome. Not really that big a deal, I can't remember the last time I ordered something from Walmart, but it is helpful sometimes for in-store pickups so I don't have to hunt for #### in those cavernous stores, and occasionally for birthday/Xmas shopping for my nieces and nephews.

So, what's my recourse here? I assume the only real answer is to forget it and move on, but this kind of crap really irks me. I'd like to strike a blow for identity theft victims everywhere by driving down there, finding the kid and kicking his ### all over the campus, but I doubt anyone capable of pulling this off is using his actual name. I'm 100% the authorities aren't interested, so what do I do? Release the name and address here and sic the FFA internet hounds on him? Drink a beer and remember that Walmart sucks and I don't really want to buy anything from there anyway? Climb up to the roof of my building weep silently as I whack off into the parking lot?

 
You have an address.

Confirm that address by calling the school or something of that nature.

Go to the library and sign up for all kinds of stuff using said name and address. (Use a different computer than your own so you don't infect your computer with anything from any of the sites you go to)

Then, let nature take its course.

Also, post to Reddit so you get Karma points.

I have a major issue with thievery, and especially online thievery. It really chaps my ###. At least an old-school thief has to screw up the stones to stick his hand in your pocket (and if you read the Vegas NYE story, even at that, I will find you and kick the crap out of you) but these online thieves seem to be able to operate with virtual impunity (pun intended.)

 
Contact the school newspaper. Maybe some aspiring reporter can do a little investigative journalism.

There are plenty of things Walmart is good for and I'd much rather order online and have some moolyak put the order together for me than have to walk that airplane hangar and find things myself.

 
i am posting here because i want a star on this when you get all rotato on his kiester meester take that to the bank

If you do go after him in person, at least it gives another solid addition to the EG thread.

Honestly, I'd love to but :

1) Boca Raton is hours away

2) I don't know if that's even the perpetrator's real name

3) I don't want to get arrested for assault and battery

4) I doubt I could find him if that is his actual identity

5) I'm 43 years old

6) It's possible, although unlikely, that he could kick MY ###.

 
I bartend at a restaurant 5 minutes from the FAU campus so if you do make the trek South I will be happy to buy you a few pints after you deliver the Malaysian ###-whipping.

Dude is clearly asking for it. Perhaps we can make this a cornhole, plan a weekend around the event, get a dozen or so of us involved in the festivities. We could stand him in the middle of a circle of us, each of us armed with our favorite piece of seafood (swordfish and sawfish, heck, all billfish prohibited) and we simply slap him around the circle until he begs for forgiveness.

Me, I would pick a three day decomposed carp as my bludgeon of choice, though a nice lobster might be sweet as well.

I'm guessing the real hacker used this other guys name/address and was gonna track the package and swipe it when it arrived. I suspect it is someone else at the university.

Yeah this. I wouldn't go scorched earth on the guy necessarily - if it isn't him that's bad karma.

True.

Too bad we can't send this dillhole a package that looks like it came from Wal Mart, but which actually contains an exploding dye pack.

That's what I would have done. If I was a low-life, scumbag, thief, that is.

Since the order was stopped I would just let it go. Any direct contact with the guy seems like a bad idea.

Yeah, I will. Just really gets my blood boiling. I can't stand people who just say : "I want this. Can't afford it, so I'll figure out a way to rip someone else off and have them pay for it." Ugh, that whole attitude just gets me so riled up.

 
have you tried contacting the school? They may not be too fond of students/staff using their address to perpetrate fraud.

 
In the Central Asian and South Asian / Indian subcontinent context, where "Mullah" does not carry a formal sense, Maulana is often the word of choice for addressing or referring to Muslim religious scholars that are respected, while Mullah is used often derogatorily for people the speaker considers to be more rabble-rousers than scholars.

Edit - got it backwards.

The guys' name is essentially "Risky Preacher". Seems legit

This might not be a bad idea. Only thing that's holding me back is that if some rod did do this and used a classmate's name, I could get some innocent kid in a world of trouble.

let the school sort that out. It's possible that if he did this to you, he did it to someone else. At the very least, the school should be keeping an eye open for it.

 
I had something similar happen to me a couple years back. Someone tried to order American Racing Wheels, some stuff from body builder.com, and 1 or 2 other things online with my credit card info. The transactions got stopped and i was notified by my card company that they were going to issue me a new card. Next day i got a call from one of the companies about my transaction being stopped. I told them it wasn't me. They gave me what info they had...my CC info and name and address as the bill to and a shipping address in a small town nearby. I called our local police to file a report. They directed me to call the police station of the town where the perp lived as it was their jurisdiction. I filed a report. They sent someone to the address and later called me back.

This was a reshipping scheme. A retired old lady lived at that address and got a job online. She was simply to recive packages at her house and slap on shipping labels to forward on to a former soviet republic, i forget which one. She was being scammed too and didn't seem to realize what she was doing fully. She even had to pay for the shipping upfront and would get reimbursed later from her new employer. Of course that never happens as they just ignore her. Apparently this is a common scheme and they prey on the elderly who are tight on cash and try to find online jobs.

In the end there really wasn't much they could do other than forward the case info they had to the FBI. Officer said there us an unbelievable amount of this stuff going on. Scammers will go in a purchase thousands of credit card users info from employees of banks etc. He said also big in Mexico where credit info is bought and sold in mass quantities.

I'm with you EG. I want to crack some heads too.

 
Come up with a UPS costume and deliver the package in person saying it requires addressee's signature. Mix up his name slightly so you can ask for confirmation that you got the actual guy by asking if he's expecting something from Walmart. Oh, and it's advised that you put Clyde on your name tag.

It's so frustrating. You obviously have some intelligence. Get a real f#@$ing job, won't you? It's so annoying what you have to go through (passwords, alarms, protection services, etc..) just because there are so many a-holes out there that would rather feed themselves off the work of someone else than try to figure out their own way in the world. Makes me sick.

This is a pretty great idea. However, the prospect of manufacturing a costume and taking a day off of work to drive down there (it was due to deliver Wednesday) is a bridge too far for me. I may contact the school, though.

******* works at Walmart. :yes:

Get a Walmart box. Send it to his address. Then see what he does when he gets it. If he's like a kid on Christmas morning, beat him like the opposing school's mascot.
