I feel now that I have the necessary proof to out the wickedfire member who has been logging into my PPV accounts and spent $xxxx of my money sending traffic to maliscious urls which download and install some kind of trojan on the visitors PC.

On May 10th I discovered I was getting some notifications for deposits into my Traffic Vance account being made with credit cards I didn't recognise. So I logged into my Traffic Vance account and immediately noticed that about $500 of my spend had been depleted sending traffic to a maliscious url. I immediately contacted Jonathan Vogel over at TV and showed them what I was seeing at my end and they suspended my account pending an investigation into who had done it.

Seems the person slipped up and used an IP address they had also used to access their legit account and so TV were able to let me know exactly who the person was. Heres the email I recieved

Hello

My techs have run an investigation and it looks like James Pardoe from Zen Tech media logged into your account.

Do you know him? Why would he have your password.

There have been no hacks in Trafficvance outside of this claim.

Best,

This person is also known as the user xentech on this forum. About a year ago I asked this person, who I also know from another forum to build me a script, he asked for server access for my hosting and the password was the same as the password for all my traffic accounts (my bad). We also spoke about the fact I was driving traffic via the above sources so I guessed he thought he'd try his luck and see if the same passwords worked for my traffic accounts. Obviously they did and this cunt has caused me no end of trouble in costs and hasstle.

When I confronted him over it he stronly denied it saying his computer has been hacked also and his traffic accounts had been hacked also.... BULLSHIT. Funny how the hacker managed to get my username and passwords and then use your PC with your ip address to access my account?

I suggest anyone that works with this person on any kind of project where he has access to your servers, beware.

Xentech is a respected member on these forums. If what you are claiming is actually true, then lord have mercy.
 
Also, if he paid for the traffic himself you don't have much of a case. If he hacked into your account and stole money that's one thing. Hard to argue that he frauded you when he was the one who paid for the traffic though.

What so because he has stupidly high post count that makes him respected? GTFO

Also learn to read dumbass.... "noticed that about $500 of my spend had been depleted sending traffic to a maliscious url."

Yeah I think the police would also be interested in the kind of URLS he has been sending traffic to.

If your serious about going to LEO posting this thread was probably a bad idea.

You're very young, aren't you?

Number one, if this is untrue and turns out to be an error, you have publicly named and libeled this dude, and left yourself wide open for a lawsuit. Personally (if you did this to me), even if it was true I would sue you just to muddy the waters, as will any decent attorney.

Number two, if it IS true, you have warned him, and given him ample time to destroy evidence and cover his tracks, which he will no matter what so-called proof TV has, if they even will cooperate with LEO without a subpoena, which I doubt.

I hate to see this shit, and if it's true, I sincerely hope you nail his sac to the wall, but by jumping the gun here (while it may have felt sooo good), you have severely hampered any case against him. Of course, I'm not an attorney, but I HAVE been through shit like this before in my 28 yrs of being self-employed, and it's ALWAYS wise to shut up until the paper is filed.

Good luck bro.

Hampered a case to get 500 bucks back? who gives a shit, better off naming and shaming the prick so he is ostracized from the community.

Maybe you should go and say the same thing to everyone in the Vince Lattin thread or whatever the fuck his name is, every man and his dog is in there libeling that guy.

Because you're not helping your case in the slightest. Actually, it's the total opposite, and you're doing nothing but giving the defense lawyer fuel for his case.

You make one small mishap, error in judgement, or baseless accusation within this thread, the defense lawyer will try to pin that on you, and skew it at much as possible to his clients' benefit. Try to prove you're a liar, you're exaggerating, you're framing him, or whatever.

Posting about this stuff only allows you to let off steam, but hurts you if this goes to court.

28 years of being pretty clueless I would say.
 
Seema, have you sought legal advice yet or contacted the Police? I personally know a Detective Inspector for my city depending on what area you live in?
