Subj : Announcement To : ALL From : SHANNON TALLEY Date : Fri Nov 28 2003 12:22 pm This is an announcement of sorts. I have 4 users who I've positively determined to be the same person. This person frequents many BBS's and is a regular in some echos. Here is a letter that I sent this person moments ago: -------------snip---------------- You did not answer the questionnaire honestly, and have obtained more than one FidoTel account. You are not using your real name as you agreed to do in the contract with FidoTel as set forth in your agreement with the "Rules and Terms of Service". http://www.fidotel.com/public/rts.htm Specifically, during an audit, our system identified you with 4 separate accounts: 11:54 JAMES MEMNOCH [Registered] - Dallas on TELNET at 11/28/2003 * Caller Id info: unknown [67.164.147.234] -------------------------------------------------------------------- 11/28/2003 11:56 JON WEBB [Registered] - Rainbow Boi on TELNET at 11/28/2003 * Caller Id info: unknown [67.164.147.234] -------------------------------------------------------------------- 11/28/2003 11:59 EMILY QUEEN [Registered] - Me on TELNET at 11/28/2003 * Caller Id info: unknown [67.164.147.234] -------------------------------------------------------------------- 11/28/2003 12:03 RAMBALDI BRISTOW [Registered] - Tyler on TELNET at 11/28/2003 * Caller Id info: unknown [67.164.147.234] We understand it is possible you may have more than one member in your household who accesses FidoTel. However, the likelihood of all four members accessing FidoTel one after another on a continuing basis is cause for concern. Email has been sent to all four accounts. Please submit "which" account you would like to keep, because we will delete the others. If you do not reply within 24hrs, we will remove all four accounts. We run FidoTel out of our own pockets, and we only ask users to adhere to the RTS. Please do not take advantage of our generosity further. Thank you. SYSOP -------------snip---------------- If you'll take a peep at the letter, you'll see the same person logged in 4 times with 4 different names with the same IP address. This is certainly a cause for concern in the echos. Thusly, I am exposing this person for the crazy snake they are... .
