Is this for real?

[Lefty]

Questions and investigations are currently under way to find out if THIS FORUM IS THE REAL THING or SD HAS BEEN HACKED, OR LEE SOLD SD.

If you notice in the TIPS SECTION the OLD MOD from SD logged in and created ad thread with some wiring diagrams and also put a LINK to his forum REBELS. WELL someone called him and he did NOT KNOW A THING ABOUT IT.

So be very carefull about using your business email or your home emails to register until it is investigated and find out if this is the REAL DEAL or SD has been HACKED. Create a couple of emails that you can blow away in a minute. So if your registering use those emails to protect yourself, and if a email comes to you using those EMAILS do not open them.

No but they sure can send you emails with a TROJAN and grab all your contacts emails and or wipe out your disk.

Anyway just a warning, like I said MEDMAN was called and he said he KNEW NOTHING about it and that HE DID NOT LOGIN and POST ANTHING Yet it shows that he logged in with wiring diagrams and he is from California.

So just a warning that is all until is it found if this is legit or not. If it is that is fine if not this will be short lived.

That coming from an ADMIN on a real concern, not very professional and brings up even more red flags don't you think.

I'm just teasing you.

I do however find it a little funny that someone would go through all this trouble of designing an entire new forum from scratch for the past month, paying for the license, buying the domain name, hosting, and spending 3 straight days of transfering it over (with about 4 hours of total sleep time in those 3 days), in order to just steal a few emails from the members, to do absolutely nothing with. You gotta admit, it's a little far-fetched.

Even if it was 'hacked' (which it clearly wasn't.. you can ask Dawg/Lee), I think this is a much better option, don't ya think?

oh ok ic

me getting tons of spam,
just like the spam that was on the SD.com pro board site
ya know gucci belts & bags, bicycles, dresses,
that was a coincidence also. might have been
but being that the e mail addy i used there and here
is for custom cat run business i do.
i have only gotten ehh 100 e mails on it, for people looking for pics, or quotes
etc etc etc in months & months, not good biz idea, lol

we will see i guess

[scootnwinn]

Ok well it seems all the data from the old forum is moved (well most of it) the old one is read only... The new one is awesome is ACTUALLY moderated for all i care the old scootdawg can go. I have used many of the forums features clicked on email links etc. Its fine guys even if it is unapproved. Medman was not the owner of the old one and he stated he couldn't reach the owner or take control of the forum from him so what ever happened happened. If you are going to hack a forum hack a BMW or Ducati site or maybe a Vespa site but why on earth would you want my identity I ride an old Suzuki I don't have any money steal my identity you may improve my credit score. No one is gonna hack a Chinese scooter site there is no money here.

Who are you anyway? How do we know you talked to any one. If medman was concerned about this he would have posted it himself

[scootnwinn]

It has to be a conspiracy admin where is my tinfoil hat!!!

Admin..well so is true or not?.. a 'Lmao" doesn't tell us anything..

[Guest_1]

doug, medman1952,
has said he has no idea what was going on.
he's way to busy now to drop his prof.life
and come see or anything
said he would when he can

so idk

just a curious lil bun bun

[scootnwinn]

Whatever, the dude doesn't have a spare 5 minutes in the last 48 hours, but has time for phone calls... There is something fishy going on all right but the how and who is what is the question

lmoa means "whatever ya right." Medman was not the old forum's owner guys. What does the transfer of the site have to with him?? Once again any criminal worth his salt doesn't go looking to steal the identities of people who drive the least expensive vehicles made.

Yes your right, but it appears nobody can get a hold of LEE. But like I said a few people have already inquired about this with pb and hopefully will get an answer soon good or bad. I hope it is LEGIT don't get me wrong but the way it was done is not good business and not smart. How about all the google hits for the old link will no longer come up. Also how about all the advertisers on the forum.

Reason this was brought up is MEDMAN was called and he knew nothing about it. But supposedly he or someone posted using his logon id. So with that, questions arose and things started to roll. For example many already know who you are your name address age and what not already, and no hacking had to be done to get that information.

Stealing Emails from people gets hackers into peoples computers that MOST have personal information on. The Emails are crap after a hacker gets what he wants off your computer. Its not the emails that count its what is on your computer that can be of use for hackers.
