Have freepay been hacked into?

Will1692 · 09-10-09, 08:51 AM

I sent an email to freepay through their support and got this reply...

Thank you for contacting us,

We have reviewed your account and have reapproved it. At the moment we are having problems with amazon not being able to use our information unless we have vouchers in the first place, we are asking our members to send the same amount worth the voucher to this email address so that we may buy back another voucher, which we will send both back to you. We understand the safety conditions within this procedure and that some may feel hesitant to comply, you are not forced to comply but you will not receive your gift if you do not. To help assure that we are FreePay, we will attatch your support ticket at the bottom, if it is not there, do not reply, if it does not have letters after the numbers, do not reply.

They want ME to send them money!
On another account they said my email wasnt working, and im 2000000% convinced it is legit!
I thought they had sorted my accout out for £700, but surely this is a scam right??
This was posted on their proper support.
I didnt get a reply from freepay on that, but in my email i got one from

Freepay@yahoo.com - saying the above.
What do you guys rekon?
Im really annoyed now!

It just said Freepay@yahoo.com but they can only of got the information from my post to freepay.
One member said they sent them the vouchers, which i highly doubt, maybe he is in on it!
I think freepay are now screwed lol!

xbox360guy · 09-10-09, 09:21 AM

trust me that's not their email address.
Just delete the message and don't reply. OR... if you're feeling a bit pissed about it pretend your going along with it for the fun... which i've done a few times before with nigerian scammers

Thing is if you can log into freepay you can see everyones support tickets! Bit silly really. So I assume someone had a scroll through and emailed everyone on it!

What do you mean by logging freepay? Isnt the site under construction?

Will1692 · 09-10-09, 10:03 AM

Just found it, basically people can email anyone updating their request! Thats terrible!
We should sue as they are giving away our confidential stuff!

MegamanEXE · 09-10-09, 01:23 PM

Freepay@yahoo.com??? Obvious Scam. A very very bad try.

Will1692 · 09-10-09, 01:40 PM

Seriously though, if people put their passwords on their requests everyone! can see them! If and when freepay go back live peoples accounts are going to hacked into also!
Probably the end for the freepay!

Harvez · 09-10-09, 01:42 PM

have you reported the yahoo email to yahoo for pishing? if not others may fall for it.

Will1692 · 09-10-09, 02:22 PM

Will do

imlost277 · 12-10-09, 04:30 AM

yeah, now im worried about my previous tickets, i do believe we should sue, FIGHT THE MAN!
what your guys take on all this, i think this could ruin freepay forever.
oh and go along with it, it seems like it would be fun

Harvez · 12-10-09, 10:11 AM

when you say "we" you mean "other people" do the ground work and you want your free gift.
if you want to sue stop whining and do it.

We do have a point though. They are giving away our personal info and some people will of posted their password in the ticket also. Im no lawyer but surely we would have a case.
