not sure if this is yours

****

I see last entry before mine

Posted: Wed Sep 06, 2006 3:42 pm

Nope not mine

Since you came here claiming that you wanted to lern more on how you could make online auction safer,
How could you in display openly on a forum some form of private information that as been put into your hand ?????

Shocked

How about you answer my question. I think that at this point anything else from you would be irrelevant

Not quite a Newb Joined: 04 Sep 2006 Posts: 56

please tell me the question?

If this is for real, then I admire your wanting to do this. There are certainly about 100 million other ventures that stand a better chance at success, such as selling ice to eskimos.

Forgive my skeptical nature, but how do we know that this is not a scheme to capture personal information on people, including commonly used passwords, and use this information for fraudulent purposes? Since you are asking all sorts of information about people's online-auction habits, this seems like the kind of information that a scammer would kill for.

Can I just "state the bleedin' obvious" here just in case there are some new users here unacquainted with the dark side of the Internet:

When registering to any service you are not absolutely 100% trusting of, please do not use any of your common passwords/email address combinations, and also try to use a throw-away email address.

I am not casting any aspersions on the particular site mentioned in this thread, but there are sites out there with ulterior motives other than providing the service they advertise.

EDIT: You beat me to it YW Smile

@YeaWhatever~

Really under the gun:)

understandable.. not sure though what the survey information would be useful to a scammer.

For those interested just prove once more... I can setup a demo later on today or tomorrow to show you that there really is work going on and its not a fab.

One thing I learnt from relationships with women, is that if you have to prove yourself each time to a woman that you love her or that you are honest with her, it's likely that you will always have to prove yourself for the rest of your life:).. and this is how I feel right now... but it's understandable...

The registration serves only one purpose which is on the site now, and the survey is also a separate thing that doesnt require any personal information

I thought this answered it

So you edited your earlier post witch contained my alias.

Just goes to show that your here for the only purpose of convincing people that your genuine. Your not interested in security otherwise my alias would never have ended up on the forum

P.S. Still haven't received my confirmation mail. but then why would you bother; you got my alias e-mail address....

Must be raining in Romania...

@shiver metimbers~

The only reason I even ask for registration is for the purpose stated on the site as my way to reward possible future members, my advantage is just the survey who anyone is welcome to fill in without having to register.

I run my own forum and do have enough email if I wanted to use it for anything else www.4weeksmarketing.net is one of my sites as well you can see the forum has a lot of members there, and I have never received any complaints... anyway I know by pasting this here, I will still be gunned down Smile

so just let me know I will take it of.

My strategy is not to force anyone to register for something unless they want to, this way I don't play the numbers game, rather I filter automatically those who are interested or not in anything I offer, as you can see I don�t ask for the usual name and email to download my manual.

You can check the domain details, and also when it was registered

�. Proof , proof, proof.. and I don�t know why, I think I should really paste my birth certificate, passport, credit card details etc .. but then I wonder why am having to prove myself so much for what?... You guys are hitting me hard� and I love it, maybe that�s why I keep going.

So far I think this topic has turned to me proving my intentions� Smile

very interesting

@Centaure~

Smile

I wonder what your alias will do for me:)... like I said the only reason you should register is for the purpose on the site.

and like the previous post, if you are not sure, please don't use your details that can cause you any inconvenience, or don't register at all

Not quite a Newb Joined: 04 Sep 2006 Posts: 56

I'm more than happy to setup the demo, anyone intersted can PM me as I'm not yet ready to promote it openly.

Once I set it up, I'll PM you

The agenda and purpose of www.nigerianauctionbuzz.com is for me to do the following:

1: Confirm some of the security and marketing strategies I have been working on.

2: Address some of the fears of using the service and how to make sure I have a transparent service to encourage use.

3: Find out some new things I may have missed out

Not quite a Newb Joined: 04 Sep 2006 Posts: 56

4: To also gain the founding members who will serve as my starting point... once again stated on the site
