.Zo Scam Report

Member Profile URL: https://hackforums.net/member.php?action...uid=195831

Today I was made aware of .Zo's illicit activity through a trustworthy friend. It appears that this user has cracked my MagicPID software (for sale in the HF marketplace) and offered to give it to Hackforums users. This not only is against the terms and conditions of my non-transferable software, but is clearly a violation of Hackforums rules.

This wouldn't be the first time I've seen this happen, and I'm rather sick of the silly excuses of why people think this is okay. I truly work hard on my applications, and the work continues after development -- in the case of MagicPID, I have spent hundreds of hours of my summer giving support and updates to users, which I enjoy -- however when someone comes along and doesn't compensate me for it -- via an illegal copy of the application, it pisses me off.

Now, of course all of you (yes, I'm looking at friends of .Zo saying "nah") want proof. I could sum it up in the following quote from a chatlog with him ...

Jamie<3 says:
Yes?
You said you have something for me?
.Zo says:
mhm
if you snitch
you're dead.
Jamie<3 says:
?
What?
.Zo says:
magicPID
if you tell
you
are
dead.
Jamie<3 says:
Uhm
I don't want to enter any agreement like this.
.Zo says:
Just
lol
you didnt get it from me
ok?
Jamie<3 says:
Ok..

Of course, some of you want to see hard proof, so feel free to digest these library of screenshots which is more than enough proof to show that .Zo has broken rules of the HF marketplace and has clearly scammed me / the MagicPID community. Since I've been through this before, I swear I'm going to puke if one of you even says "your security should be better!!1". You know what, its actually half-decent. Just because you are sent to a low security prison doesn't mean its legal to escape -- duh.

[Trance™]

I will vouch for anything against .Zo, he has attempted to scam me in the past as well.

[Kubalay]

Not surprised, he trolls all day in HackForums, I say I believe the creator of this thread, please deal with the scammer!

[Persona]

- Watches all my proof go to work - :D

[Variables]

Thanks for understanding what he has done here. I'm really tired of members like this on Hackforums -- especially when they have ub3r or l33t status, which is supposed to distinguish people.

[Revelation]

Variables is correct in all of this. That scum .Zo deserves the worst.

[Chill.Out]

Yup, .Zo deserves a ban at the least.

[CeilingCat]

You guys know that .Zo is Uchiha Z_Ownz? The guy who scammed people for microsoft call ins and logitech call ins? I'm surprised he isn't banned.

Rather unfortunate that he isn't banned yet -- where are the moderators on this issue? It's obvious that he is rather low quality and can't be trusted.

[DООM!]

If you read .Zo's reputation comments before trading with him (You should always do this) you should see that a lot of people have been scammed by him, including myself.

Back when he did Microsoft Call In's he scammed me for $12. He's one of the more known users that you should never deal with.

[kwyjibo]

This is why we can't have nice things. This guy seems to be a well known scammer and should be punished in my opinion.

[Variables]

I have now confirmed that the version he has supposedly "cracked" isn't even functioning correctly. Its about 4 updates back, and his so called crack seems to be backdoored indeed. Nice work faggot.

I have NEVER dealt with him or ever heard of him before today. So someone else leaked it to him, or he traded with me under another name. I have many transactions, and I can't screen them all.

[Persona]

So I really hope this guy gets brought to justice. It's an insult on Variable's hard work.

[Variables]

So, now it looks like I've received my first negative rep. Yay! From .Zo and all of his "friends".

[Chill.Out]

Now he is -repping Variables saying he doesnt know what a crack is :s
