besides hundreds of other posts on different sites and this just made me so helpless and scared that I can no longer protect my identity online …

First of all WHO CARES!!! Welcome to 21 century, – [ you're online ] EQUALS [ PUBLIC ] – get used to it. For those who don’t know what “PUBLIC” means – AVAILABLE FOR ALL – DUH….

Anyways, I really wonder how this bright person who claims to be the security expert and a hacker (PPPPLEASE) managed to scrape this (amazing) data from facebook and got away with it ???

Hmmmmm, lets see, alright the first step probably requires an MIT degree:


a. go to facebook.com
b. click on the “find friends link” -> http://www.facebook.com/find-friends/?ref=pf

The second step probably requires at least 10 years of experience at NASA:

a. http://www.facebook.com/directory/people/A

The third step is the hardest of all and this is where his 1337 skills come into play:
a. write a 20 lines of code in your favorite language like PHP or ASP and scrape this data and go to the next page

Holly sh*t this was sooo hard… people need to relax a little and stop talking about this bull… and maybe talk about more serious issues like OIL SPILL that pretty much destroyed the ECO system and left thousand of people without work, I think this is a little bit more important … ?

I just wanted to share my unpleasant experience with those scammers. So here it goes:

On 12/19/09 I placed an order on their site. I received an email from “noreply-eng@shareit.com” a little later confirming my order.

I got another email from the same email:

Dear Valued Customer,

A month passed !!!!!! Paypal ruled in my honer – which was kind of obvious.

So on Jan 14 2010 I get this email from systemsoftlabs themselves ( sales@systemsoftlab.com ):

We regret to inform you we received a chargeback for the order placed by Pavel Baranov for ArtMoney Pro on 19-DEC-2009.

We have added Pavel Baranov to our blacklist
http://www.systemsoftlab.com/blacklist.html

Best Regards, System SoftLab
www.artmoney.ru ArtMoney v7.32
www.systemsoftlab.com SPD v3.20

So they write me back:

Do you check spam folder or not?
Why you don’t contact us?

We have sended registration to pavelbaranov@gmail.com information twice.
1) December 19, 2009 23:27 +0400
2) December 23, 2009 15:36 +0400

Best Regards, System SoftLab, Artyom Mikhailov

Second – I did check my junk folder – nothing from them.

So this continues on:

Do you think that your spam filter is our fault?
We are always online, if you did not receive the registration information, you have to contact us via email, ICQ or phone (Russia or Germany).

Now we have a penalty 9 USD for you chargeback.
Now your PayPal account is in two big blacklists. We exchange our blacklists with another companies.
If you really want to leave this blacklist then contact us saying that you accept to pay the loses caused by you (9 USD) .
Or you have to buy our program again.

So apparently I’m on their blacklist and they want $9 to remove me from it…

Anyway, I figured I share this info with the world so these duchebags get what they deserve ZERO customers.
