Phone Spam

[MolGenBuckeye]

So, I came into work this morning to get a message from our office manager saying that someone had called for me. I'd never heard of the guy, who claimed I had been to his website (an obviously shady site that I won't promote here), and wanted me to call. He had apparently looked up our company's main number based, I'm guessing, on my email account he obtained somewhere.

So, Mr. Rick Harrold, let's see how looking up people's info works.

The phone number he left me is a Rochester, NY area code (585). A quick lookup reveals numerous spam messages and classified ads he's littered about the web. On one of those is an address for his consulting company. Let's look at a satellite picture on Google maps of that address. Well, how about that? It's a house!

So, in case anyone ever needs it for any reason:

Richard "Rick" Harrold

Rochester, NY 14623

P.S. - Don't call me again.

Phone SPAM:

Spammers will do anything to get your personal information. Even Hillary. We're not even super delegates.

Possible, I suppose, though I'm not sure why you'd set up a detailed LinkedIn profile under a fake name.

What's awesome is that this thread is already in the top ten google hits for "Rick Harrold", his phone number, and his address.

Cool. Hopefully he'll get a bit of his own medicine. F**kin' spammers, always sending me stuff and shit.

Obviously Rick Harrold is an alias for Ripturd. His monitors detected you on his website and he was just contacting you before turning you in to the authorities.

I could take this information and use my powers for good... but it would just feel wrong.

Ahh..I love it! Maybe one day all the spammers, e-mail scammers, and board flammers will notice that were members of BP and decide it's probably not a good idea to fuck with us.
