Default Scvmbags coming out of the woodwork! - 01-27-2008, 10:59 AM

I could be completely off base here, but it seems to me that lately more and more new members are asking for help with their passwords. "Oh, stupid me, I forgot my password...." and "somehow the darn thing locked me out.....". I don't believe them. Nope. I'm not buyin' the crap they're sellin'.

I don't believe that all these people with hundreds of dollars to spend on a mobile device are so stupid that they have no clue what they bought. There will be a few, sure, who are exactly that stupid. But not this many.

Scvmbags and lowly thieves are an epidemic around here lately. Stolen Blackberrys or "found" Blackberrys is what we're seeing. Now clearly I'm not talking about guys like ezrunner who undertook a Homerian oddessy to try and return someone's lost Blackberry. Totally different story.

Some of these sleezeballs have been unmasked, like the lady who said she wanted to check up on her boyfriend by cracking his Blackberry. Af first it was to play the game she was addicted to. She finally fessed up though. There have been others as well, starting out with a weak plea for help on a forgotten password and then admitting to trying to get into someone else's Blackberry. And many more who are still crying "poor me, please help" when they're just trying to use a stolen Blackberry or get someone else's data.

My wish is for these pieces of human garbage to be so absorbed in trying to unlock their stolen BB, and so frustrated with their failed efforts, that they step off a curb into the bath of an oncoming bus. BAM! Right there on Broadway. They go careening through the air one way, the STILL LOCKED Blackberry goes another, and the story has a fitting ending.

I know there will be a few folks coming here for legitimate help with a locked Blackberry, and I have no ill will towards them. But as for the scvmbags crawling around here, trolling for a backdoor into someone else's Blackberry, there are not enough bad things in the universe that can befall them. Die you fu*******ers, Die!!

Honestly, I think you need to relax.
I realize this is the Rants and raves forum area... but don't you think you're just being a little overdramatic?

Of course! But it's like therapy and I feel so much better now. This is better than switching to Geico!

I would hate to see someone actually get run down by the M5 bus, but in my comic book-daydream-roadrunner/coyote world, it's all good.

I have also noticed a lot of posts on here asking the same questions. Makes you think...

I agree with Rambo47. It does seem a little strange at times with sooo many people "forgetting" their passwords. I would disagree but when a lot of these people are found to be frauds it does make you wonder...
