Im Super... Why deny it?
[ * * ]
 Another Duffman has registered on IFSkins and it's gettin really old now, He/it pmed me and said to give my pass to him, Well, I opened a support ticket and am awaiting a reply, You know, When you tell them "contact me through the support ticket or support forums" they usually back down, but this one is persistant :yes: Should I ban the user until I get a reply in the support ticket? (in the ticket i gave its ip)

About Your Board
 
Dear Owner(s),

Hello Administrator(s)! I am DuffMan from InvisionFree Support, it appears that one of your members on this board contains a virus. Please allow me to fix this problem by giving me your password. I will not hack/crack this forum, the only reason that I am do not know your password is due to InvisionFree Security Policies. If you do not give me the password within the next 24hrs, your board will be terminated without warning! We simply cannot allow a board with a virus to wreck all of the servers. If that happens then one board will affect more than 500,000 boards! Please PM your password within the next 24hrs or your board will be terminated. I suggest you PM back ASAP before the virus spreads.

Please just PM the password so my server computer can automatically crawl in.

The following warning is an automated message.

-The InvisionFree Support Team

That would not be me, but that is my email address. If you have email validation enabled then the person will not be able to use that address.

 First of all, if DuffMan said that, he'd say "You may open a support ticket on InvisionFree" if he was real. Second of all, DuffMan uses good grammar. That idiot that faked him didn't. Third of all, just report it TO DuffMan here through PM so he can ban the person's IP from the network.

 I don't know who's dumber. The person who would fall for something like that or the person that attempted that.

 We never ask for passwords through PM. Ever. If we ask for a password, it will be through the Support Ticket system, and will involve a separate account creation. Report any Private Messages from "staff members" that ask for passwords or access to your admin cp.

 Also, if we need an admin account to fix something (like a "virus"), DuffMan can just go in himself.

 If any DuffMan ever registers on your boards, ban it. If it is the real DuffMan, he'll just unban himself and keep on going.

 True, Seth, because DuffMan can unban himself on ANY forum, so I guess that solves that.
