OK something very very weird just happened. First, my muguito just stopped and all the targets went red. THEN, I tried to log in to both 419eater and also aa419 and it sent me, each time to these WEIRD pages that were clearly mock ups. I was worried that someone had hacked into, somehow both 419eater and aa419 .. it was at the least disconcerting. And I had 191 GB on muguito - had to shut it down!

I have no idea what happened, but I would be shocked if your lad hacked your computer. Shocked

If you are that timid about this lad, why not try another. Surely you can't come across TWO lads who could possibly maybe incredibly hack into computers.

Zone alarm is your friend!

Doubt if it was lad hacking you. Sounds more like maybe somehow your system either had some sort of java exception error or misread something and temporarily affected system (if you are now on same computer)

Other wise I've no idea. Had similar happen to me but couldn't get system to start back up (had fried mother board, but was running it way overclocked Embarassed

You might post about it in http://forum.aa419.org/viewforum.php?f=4 (although they'll probably need more info)

edit) just noticed you're post over there. You might add to ir or edit it to include the above question

Check out 491 eater versus 419. also try aa419.com vs. .org. Sigh. Interesting though. It looks like a spoof.

It sure does look like they may be using the popularity of the two sites by using similar names, but I see no evidence of spoofs.

This is common among popular websites. People register popular addresses with a slight typo, then shove ads all over it. You click an ad, they get paid. e.g. www.yaoho.com (typo on yahoo.com), and www.goggle.com which I assume is a typo on google.com

Don't forget gmail.com vs. gamil.com Very Happy

You may have arrived here by misspelling Gmail. We understand. Typing fast is not our strongest skill. But since you've typed your way here, let's share.

They also register it in the hopes that it is a popular mis-spelling, hoping that the real company will buy them up so that people who mis-spell will still get to the intended site. Of course they'll have to pay top $$ to buy the domain names.

491 eater (at moment is parking page) is probable typo/hope/buy me as above. & probably is available for a ?price.

-------
the aa419 com is search/holding page.
registered by Admin Chesterton of organization named Chesterton Holdings at 419 North Larchmont Blvd #339, Los Angeles, California. From quick search online it appears it might be a phone/mail drop or rent-a-suite. With the reg domain address, it is possible it could be a co-incidence, but see no relevance for the aa part.

And for a search portal place holder with that domain name, the org variant should show up in their links, but doesn't. Although Lad Vampire is listed, it leads to link to anti- rather than aa419.org.

Lad vampire is one of the links listed and guess what it brings up a site link to a a special admirer(not) of aa419.org, whose site is anti-aa419dotorg and privacy protected the whoisout in the same area of Caliifornia that.

imho, After looking in the sites site(s) page/domain info, I think the com is probably connected directly or indirectly with the (not)friend

Can see another maybe possible reason might be pissed at org (using shivers valueing link http://www.smartpagerank.com/ ) aa419 com shows $0 and anti-~org is $0 while aa419.org shows $17,926 Very Happy
