you can't guess it cause it's 100% made up. |
I just tried both of those for your hotmail, you lie :p |

like i dunno, take RJewT.
so, his hotmail is like [email protected] or something like that (posted in the MSN chat thread in search)
next hotmail asks for a zipcode, which RJewT has also posted. His city was posted a while ago, but when you put in the city in zipinfo.com there are 3 zip codes, and we don't have many times to mix and match guesses. anyways, if i remember, it is 54481 or something like that. i looked it up and it matched the city he posted in, somewhere in Wisconson. must be legit.
next secret question. so someone has to look up your forum history, or your myspace account if it is unlocked for everyone to see. they can get to know you to take an educated guess.
RJewTs question? Favorite fictional character. Myspace has Fear/Loathing in Las Vegas, and his forum history has his favorite movie listed as Fear/Loathing as well. Well, i've never seen the movie, but doing a quick search on wikipedia or google names only 1 absolutely lovable character in that film, Dr. Gonzo.
anyways, so Dr. Gonzo, dr gonzo, nor gonzo didn't work anyways, but hey, the lessons are that
1. hotmail ing sucks for security
2. an educated guess is always better than a hot dog through a hallway (whatever that means)
3. don't use default questions. Be like DollarStar. i forget what DollarStar did, but it never gave the option to play the guessing game.

"hello? hello? ... Damnit, maybe it was the FBI!!!" |
Seriously. It would be like that. I'd be the bitchy Jewish mom from Southpark.

Tell me more. So when I log in and am getting "phished" it sends me to a page that says "error login." So whenever it says that, I should retype www.myspace.com instead of logging in on this page? Or in other words, if I am getting "phished," am I able to spot this and not fall into the trap?
And yes, this crime doesn't seem like a big deal, especially because I'm not physically harmed and there's no direct financial damage. However, my myspace URL is supposedly unchangeable according to myspace.com. So the fact that someone changed my URL is REALLY disturbing. What if they can change other "unchangeable" information about me, such as my back account, back statements, drivers license, and overall identity? I'm extremely paranoid and almost motovated enough to join the FBI myself! |

Obviously not. He's complaining that it was changed to outofthecloset696969696969 and myspace said his URL is unchangeable. |

Very first post from him
"How the could someone change my URL when supposedly it was fixed and I couldn't change it at all? I'm so ing pissed."
Picking your own URL is a relatively new feature to MySpace (I think it started a few months ago), before it just gave you something based on your name. Now there's an option to change it and he doesn't know how. |

Myspace keeps telling me I cannot change it once I pick it; it's my permanent myspace URL. The irony is someone CHANGED my URL a good 9 months after I chose it. I can see it now, I'm going to have an arguement with one of those Nancy Nobudge myspace reps that won't understand the dissonance that my URL cannot be changed AND my URL can and has been changed.
Dj_bas, you claim I can change my URL? Is this true? Do you mean change it AGAIN? Or just change it from the number URL assigned to you when you register to a personalized URL (which I already did 9 months ago before Harry the Hacker changed it AGAIN)? Show me I can change my URL AGAIN and I will forever be in debt to you. |

Oh I don't know if you can change it more than once, I've never tried. I sent you a PM explaining how to do it. If that doesn't work then I guess I don't know :p |
