Even after a small group of posters on the Ebay AU forums succeeded in harassing a large number of posters off the AU boards with a campaign of making false report to have posters posts removed and finally getting them suspended.
This group setup this board to get away from such harassment and in my opinion luck of due care by eBay.
Yet the harassment continues by these very same people, they are not satisfied to have driven this group away from eBay they are now carrying on their campaign of harassment by making false and malicious reports to Microsoft.
Here is the response from Microsoft about these reports.
Microsoft has responded to say that this is an incorrect designation and within 24 hours it will no longer appear. It appears that malicious false reports by a number of people - whose IPs Microsoft have logged - resulted in this false designation. Microsoft confirms the site and the thread in question has nothing to do with phishing.
that "malicious reports" by a number of people were made, and that Microsoft don't appreciate people wasting their time with false reports when there are sites that ARE a worry. What a waste of Microsoft's resources.
A message to the person that wishes to control the eBay boards, Be warned this is not the only site that offers help and believe me the other place will slap you so hard you will forget who you are.

Insecurity makes one do dreadful things.

add to that some paranoia, delusions of grandeur, an over dose of narcissism and a good supply of alcohol.

Said in an outrageous 'French' Accent: They don't frighten us, Troll pig-dogs! They can go and boil their bottoms, sons of silly persons. I blow my nose at them, so-called snake oil salespersons, Them and all their silly Troll-nnnnniggets. Thpppppt! Thppt! Thppt!
We don't wanna talk to them no more, those empty headed animal food trough wipers! We fart in their general direction! Their mothers were hamsters and their fathers smelt of elderberries!

I'm surprised Microsoft responded (dubious actually). The normal response to a phishing query is an automated popup that says Yes or No.
Check for yourself, IE7 users. Load any page in this site, then go to tools - Phishing Filter - check this website.
I'd love to see a forwarded copy of the Microsoft email.

LOL Bunny!

Hello Karen, good to see you still around!
I think it depends on if you are putting a general enquiry through, or one from the site owner. I have in the past, and just today, contacted Microsoft about problems associated with my website and got pretty speedy responses. Todays was really fast!
-
Karen, do you think I'm a person of integrity?
I have personally been in touch with Microsoft, and I have seen the reply as well as been apprised of other communications by phone. The admin were concerned about this site attracting some of the sort of attention it has, and took steps to get in touch with Microsoft as a matter of urgency.
If you doubt my word, of course you're free to do so. It's obvious none of the admin can possibly forward you any of the emails.
Privacy in email
In email communications, there has always been, and always should be, an expectation of privacy between the sender and the intended recipients of a message. Privacy is compromised, however, if personal information or private email content is shared with parties other than the sender and intended recipients without their consent. Email messages remain strictly between the sender and intended recipients.
-
Yes Col I can see that they would respond to web site admin far quicker than ordinary web users.
The real proof will be that the false warning disapear over night.
It was clear to any one that had half an idea that the warning was not related to what was occuring.
-
I don't think Microsoft would take too kindly to malicious reporting like that. The phisihng filter is there for good and genuine reasons. Misuse won't be tolerated - I think.
-
We fart in their general direction!
yeah me too!
*fart*
So there!

Here Imp, you can have this one courtesy of moi !!

Karen,
I'm surprised Microsoft responded (dubious actually).
I too called Microsoft when it was brought to my attention.
After having identified myself and expressing my concerns I was directed to a supervisor who then checked the status of this site and gave me an assurance that it was not on their list of phishing sites.
I was then given the contact details of Microsoft's head office in the United States who I will be calling when they open in the morning.
My aim is to get from them the recorded IP addresses from where the complaints were received

Why thank you Cupie very nois of ya, is that curry?

Holydooly, Can you really imagine a 'solicitor' allowing anyone to use their computer? If they did, that solicitor would be just as much an idiot as any client who asked.
Why would any sneak want to 'sneak' in here where everyone is welcome with open arms. If they choose to come, look and go, that is their prerogative, but they are, regardless of ID, able to come.

Hi Prim, it was tongue in cheek!! I couldn't agree more.
-
That 'solicitor' comment just has to be one of the funniest ones for a while. ;D

Actually Ernest, It was one of the dumbest things posted in a very long while. It must have been half cask eight at the time.

Hi Hawk,and All here...have been watching these developments here and over at Ebay(Ican say ebay,can't I?) anyway me thinks that it was a concerted effort to destabilize this sight,and that it may happen again in some other ways...before "they" at Bondi and else where lose interest in us...they are pi**ed because they didn't see this site coming...Love and regards Horizon. 8)

Oh Imp.........that is priceless!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Its not the first and I also dont think it will be the last either, a number of the actions that have taken place since Saturday are criminal and the powers to be are already involved.
they are pi**ed because they didn't see this site coming.
Maybe but thats their problem.
-
Hi Hawk,good to hear from you,do you feel that it is REALLY a case of "stalking" it is certainly starting to feel that way...to me anyways,Regards Horizon.
-
Hi ya horizon, it sure dose to me too!

It is certanly shaping up that way.

Yes. I'm not an Aussie, but eBay is a global disease, and not even Nevada is safe from the rot.
I got slapped into oblivion (http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/rontello/eBay%20nasty%20pix-gifs/thSlaphappy.gif)
from the US Boards, so, ummmm......I find this site to be fancy-cozy-safehaven-user friendly!
-
Hi Hawk,and All here...have been watching these developments here and over at Ebay(Ican say ebay,can't I?)
Of course you can say ebay horizons, that is what we are here for, to answer questions, discuss eBays good and bad points and have fun while we do this. Within the confines of libel law and general respect of course. I love your posts, keep them coming :)
-
Hi Prim...I will post again tomorrow...I have worn myself out thinking of a possible battle ahead,against my old relentless foes,those that think they have style and brains (over there)....and do not concern yourself Prim,for I will ensure that we are ready for battle on Hawks orders! Goodnight to All,Regards Horizon. :stay:

Nite Horizons

I'm sitting here shaking my head in disbelief.
Why on earth would people bother to do things like that?
Sheesh- they got their way and had the ebay boards (boreds?) sanitised to the point of utter sterility - and now want to come and neutralise our new playground!
Good Grief.
-
Good Grief
thats about what they will be finding a lot of and it wont be the good sort.

Give the trolls enuff rope........
A little in the bad taste department there :(
I really don;t think that we need to see that image repeated :(
Please keep that in mind and also on 'that' topic - sometimes to ignore something makes it go away - perhaps we should put all the offenders in the naughty corner and ignore them - they might actually get the hint
-
that pic of the hanging man makes me feel sick :(
-
People,
The situation has been rectified and it is pointless to discuss it any further. There is no benefit in further discussion of this subject
You have all had your say on the matter, I am asking that this subject be now closed, that is a request.
Any further discussion in a negative sense will cause the locking of this thread

I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

Can someone tell me if the RT reunion thread is still up and running on ebay?
I scrolled through several pages to try to find it, but couldn't.
Has it been removed??
-
Never mind- just went back to loook and there it was!
It must have been changing pages as I scrolled !
-
It was on the first page half an hour ago.
-
... and the last 3 pages are classics in "they just don't get it".
Hawk's *trying* to explain it to them, but the same old 'shtuff' is just still right through those last few pages.
It's time to just walk away.
-
Actually Ernest, I think its time to go there and fill the pages with good posts. They cannot fight 'good'. :)

How did the phone call go?
-
OH, yes!
Who was it that was calling them?
Will be interesting to find out, I had no idea that a big place like that would be so human....I am pleasantly surprised :)
-
Karen,
A call was placed to Microsoft Australia, they were not at liberty to divulge the information that was sought but have logged the call as a matter of grave concern.
They told me that the matter will be taken up with Microsoft in the US.
I also called Microsoft in the US and spoke to various people in separate departments.
I must admit that they had difficulty in grasping the problem and continually asked which product i was having difficulty with.
After 2 hours on the phone we managed to get some common ground.
The results of that communication I am not at liberty to divulge.
Thank you for your concern Karen
-
cool Poddy!
At least you could speak with a human!!!
-
They were human at least, well after you get through the wall of automatonsthat is.
Having been in the IT industry for a long time I have collected the right phone numbers from past dealings with Microsoft, and I am not unknown to them shall we say, which is a plus.
-
Great, only you could do thast Poddy.
-
Hi rose, nice to see you....Poddy has that kind of persistence about him..he could break through any automated phone service. I encountered one of those the other day when I rang Austar. They actually expect you to converse with a computer...huh?. I found myself wanting to press 'back', 'eject'..something...how can you take that seriously? Kept thinking...I'm talking to a computer, I must have finally lost it... Then when you finally get to the human...you're about ready to chew their head off...LOL
-
How often haven't I wanted to shout at the voice recording of various businesses...? I particularly hate the "Okay. Did you say [blah blah blah]?" when the [blah blah blah] is nothing like what I said, and the "Okay" sounds insufferably "patient" for other people's inability to speak clearly - when the problem is that it cannot understand clearly.
If I track down the woman whose voice was recorded for many of these automated services, I may do something hasty.
-
Greetings My Lady Rose,
Always a pleasure to see you grace our humble abode with your presence
In otherwords
Hi ya Rosie,
Whatcha been up to?
Cupie it is not too difficult to do hehehe
I love those automatted answering systems where the use word recognition.
I answer "rabbit" or some other word to all the questions sometimes rude ones hahaha, the computer gets frustrated that it does nor recognise the response an connects you with a human, well sometimes semihumam at least, try it sometime, it really is much faster
-
So...defeat the automated receptionist bot with gobbledigook?
-
I HATE talking to bots on the phone.
I LOVE my bank, Westpac, they employ actual customer service people. They rang the other day to see whether they could help with anything and I said yes, I'd been charged a fee that I thought was included in our Home Loan package and my 'personal consultant' said she would look into it for me. The next day, she rang back to say she had organised a credit and would reimburse the fee for the past 3 years. Credit arrived in bank account the next day. That's what I call service!
-
yep, you can actually detect a slight hint of frustration in the recorded voice when you do that hehehehe
There is nothing quite like confusing a 'puker ;)

I remember when I rang an automated line to order movies on Foxtel (as the selection "thingy" wasn't working on our remote). The line asked me to say the movie title I wanted, so I did. The line said something like "you would like to order Flerplen, is that correct?" I tried again, same response..........I actually wanted to order Flightplan. I think it had problems with my accent!!!! I tried 3 times, then contacted the helpline. Haven't tried since.

Hi Col,
You're in fine form tonight!!! :neener:
-
Col is inevitably in fine form.
-
Have to amuse myself somehow :duckdance:
-
Col, I had the same problem with Foxtel.
After going through the various prompts about 3 times each I got to where I named the movie. I was trying to order The B Movie as my granddaughter was staying for the weekend and we were having a 'girlie' night while the boys went off to the footy.
Every time I said The B Movie, robo-voice replied with the name of a movie I certainly would not order for myself (insert blush here) let alone a 12 year old lass.
I was panicking because I had visions of the movie title showing on my account or someone seeing it somehow and my brain went into overdrive. If you had been a casual observer you would have thought Mrs Bucket (bouquet) had taken over my body with the twitching eyes and jerking head she acquired when stuck in a sticky situation.
I started blubbering which fortunately kicked in the human response and I was able to clear it up and get the correct movie. It was the first and last time I have ever attempted to order a movie that way. :)
