RMT HIJACKER NAMING SCHEME FOUND!! (SE please notice)

[Doofus]

This is a good lead but im not sure whats new, (Poeple from odin remember LSxxxxxx and Kuangxxxxx names, everyone and their mother knew they were rmt yet they ran loose on the server for years. Im sure other servers have similar names, rmt do this a lot.

However im glad you made a topic about this, perhaps SE will get their head out of the clouds.

[Ardrial]

So I went through ffxiah and looked at every single fen(whatever) by searching fen(insert letter) till i found all fens in ffxiah.

I found the following names that looked like it was selling gear that was stolen. I'll start with the older ones.

Early 08 (All of these are most likely banned):
Fenwlmz
Fenwenity
Fenwenit
Fenqplxy
Fenoliyo
Fenmnko
Fenmnk
Fenmink
Fenkooii
Fengybbz

Lat May/Early June 08:
Fenchangmao
Fendongbei
Fenwarcc
Fenwangp
Fenbaihe
Fenlldd
Fenshubian

When I searched this morning for /sea all Fen, none of these characters were online. So who knows what's going on?

[Raen Ryong]

Look what I found. Nothing new, but still disgusting.

I called POL today in regards to my hacked account that I am waiting on, and I mentioned this thread to him, in regards to the trend across all servers with these RMT, etc. He told me that honestly, if this information is reported to a GM that they cannot do anything, as they have to witness the activity in order to make a difference. However, he said that reporting this to the STF can and will make a difference, especially if everyone starts reporting it.

So IMHO, I think that instead of being upset that GM's cannot do something, we should all routinely start reporting this to the STF now. You can access this through POL or POL's website.

The link is here: https://secure.playonline.com/supportus/index.html, and you can find it at the bottom of the page, under "Report to Special Task Force". You can access it via POL through their Support and Services > Email Support > STF. I encourage everyone to report this trend and the RMT for their specific servers, and hopefully we can make a difference. Please do not gripe that they are not eradicated immediately. We all must contribute to making the difference for everyone. I myself will be reporting Cerdongbei from Cerberus immediately. Just trying to figure what is the best subject to use... As I never witnessed this activity "in person" "in-game".

Thanks!

[Sworn]

Very good find, and i recently found ALL of my gear being sold on a Car-- name...

Now, MYRRIAL Please pay attention to this!

Since people will be including this link in their STF reports, you absolutely HAVE to remove your GM screenshots right away our your character will be banned. It has recently been added to the ToS that SS's Recordings, or anything else containing GM conversations is strictly forbidden and will put your character up for ban. This has happened to two friends of mine recently and i STRONGLY suggest removing that and the "Quoted" posts. Once they start reading these threads you will be in trouble.

[Ryukuro]

I dont know if many people have noticed on any other servers, but on Valefor i have noticed alot of name begining with Val and ending with a job for example on Valefor i have found:

Valmnk
Valwar
Valpld
Valthf

Everyone else check on your servers for these name variations too and report them!~
There are plenty more but they are the ones i seen recently and have checked all their AH histories and have noticed millions upon millions of gils worth of gear has been stolen and resold.

There is also a Valdongbei on Valefor too.

Nothing on Levblm, Levmnk, or Levrdm (or any other jobs, for that matter), but it doesn't necessarily mean they aren't out there

Wow. Just wow.

And I thought the T Whiteshells I bought for 6k yesterday were a good deal. >.>;

This is an incredible find, I will be taking a look at all of this stuff when SE allows us back into the game. I would like to stop the hackings ONCE and FOR ALL. It is happening too much, so many people's hard work is gone in a matter of minutes.

Fuck the RMT right in the taint.

[quote=Myrrial]

wow at that last post :/ Wish i found that mule

That's not a mule, it's an RMT shitbag and that currency, and everything else in that bazaar, was someone else's hard work.

But that person who was hacked is going to get a rollback and have currency duped for him. Nice that someone got some sweet sweet currency and the rmt didn't get much gil to sell before he gets the banhammer... My husband needs a ton of Bynes still... wish I could have found that deal too...

Not much effect on the overall economy from these rollbacks so far, hopefully a decent number of rmt are getting banned before they can sell all of their loot so there isn't too much high priced stuff flooding the market and lowering prices...

to what I'm told character rollbacks don't include any items that can be bought or sold... so they won't dupe the currency for him. Just ra/ex stuff

No, they changed that.

I don't believe that they have.[/quote:2xpcuykp]

Two ls mates in the last month have had their entire characters recovered, gear and all. It took SE forever but they finally wised up.

The STF has been in force for over a year now and people still bitch about GMs not doing the job they're not able to do in the first place.

[Pazrayna]

Fuck the RMT right in the taint.

Sounds painful.

I've seen ifr... on ifrit. I think he makes shihei all day.

[Aledacia]

Gotta love RMT...at least they're using something obvious, instead of using original names.

Note~ The following list is active and apparently inactive or banned players, who host suspicious activity.

Bahamut Server RMT/Possible RMT:

Bahbaihe

Bahcaiwang

Bahchangmao

Bahchengy

Bahdabiao - Not sure on this one...history is limited, and not selling high price items that I can see.

Bahdongbei

Bahmi

Bahmink

Bahmnk

Bahmom

Bahpld

Bahshuibian

Bahthf

Bahwaraa

Bahwarcc

Bahyan

Bahyoumima

Bahzhejiang - There is also a Carzhejiang on the Carbuncle Server. Also...Biszhejiang, Caizhejiang, Cerzhejiang, Faizhejiang, Fenzhejiang, Gilzhejiang, Hadzhejiang, Kujzhejiang, Lakzhejiang, Midzhejiang, Odizhejiang, Phozhejiang, Quezhejiang, Ragzhejiang, Serzhejiang, Sylzhejiang, Valzhejiang.

I'll probably do searches on the other names to see how many are on other servers, and add them to this post later...

That's the idea.

Looks like they go through cycles with their fishbots, as well.
Phozhejiang is particularly notable. It's a shame we lost a paladin...

[Papillion]

Phoenix also has the Pho___ (job here).

Phothf has a history of high priced items and after yesterday's update, Phoblu pops up in Sandy, runs to Rolanberry and bazaars lots of high priced items.

[ashleyflowers]

here is a player that i noticed selling alot of my gear on bahamut the day i was hacked folllowing this same naming theme:

Bahwaraa - bahamut

[Eohuo]

Ok so I was recently a "comprimised account"... I have come to hate that term... let's just be non-pc and say I was hacked. Anyway, today was day 7 of that utopian "period within a week" that my account was to be rolled back. I know it was asking a lot, but I am an optimist who believed in SE's capacity to right these wrongs. Well I found out I should have been leaning to the mind of a pessimist.

Today, I got in touch with a POL Information Support rep and had the following conversation (I suggest to read it with popcorn or tissues, whichever you prefer):

SER Kenny: Hello, Brian, thank you for contacting the PlayOnline Information Center. Just a few moments while I review your question, please.
SER Kenny: Once a game data recovery is complete an email will be sent out with the results.
SER Kenny: Due to the high request volume it has been taking longer than 7 days to complete.
Brian XXX: hi
SER Kenny: We do apologize for this, however at this time we do not have an estimated time as to when the recovery process will be finished.
Brian XXX: do you know what date you have reached in regard to recoveries?
Brian XXX: because i know u do them in an order
SER Kenny: We would not have access to which accounts are currently being processed or what date the recovery team are working on.
Brian XXX: ok, well is there any way I can expedite this
SER Kenny: I am sorry to say that there is nothing that can be done to expedite the issue. We do just ask our customer to please wait until an email is sent with the results of the recovery process.
Brian XXX: :-\ have you at least made progress on finding those responsible for the mass hackings lately
Brian XXX: it is quite widespread
SER Kenny: The investiation team is looking into the matter however we would not be able to release the details of what was found in the investigation.
Brian XXX: even if you look to the Jeuno auction house, there has been unusually suspicious activity with the sale of a large quantity of expensive items by characters such as Kujchangmao and Kujdongbei"
SER Kenny: Information such as that can be brought to the attention of the Special Task Force who also look into in-game issues.
Brian XXX: also, my friends have been tracking the auction house for me....the items that kujchangmao has sold off in the time since my character was comprimised are the exact items that I was missing
Brian XXX: could you please pass this information onto them?
Brian XXX: it sickens me that they can so easily act in this horrid manner
SER Kenny: It can be submitted here: https://secure.playonline.com/supportus/index.html just go to the email section and send it to the Special Task Force.
Brian XXX: it does not require waiting again for 3 + hours does it?
SER Kenny: No, it is just an email form.
Brian XXX: ok good
SER Kenny: Are there any other issues I can assist you with right now, Brian?
Brian XXX: No, I thank you for your time and I hope you can get to the root of the recent problems with ease and with haste so the online population may be what it was prior to these acts
SER Kenny: Thank you for visiting PlayOnline Chat support, Brian! Take care and hope to see you online!

Well, that got me absolutely nowhere. Although they tried to mitigate any sort of single-player uprising, the rep did little in fact (only in theory). I cannot help but say that this reeks of SE bureaucracy. These answers are the same cookie-cutter responses the hacked characters have been receiving since the mass "comprimization" has taken place.

I put a plee out to those with hacked accounts - accounts that have had effort of self and countless others. Most of you have an idea of who has sold off your items and dropped your ra/ex gear for greater ease of transfer. It is shown in this comprehensive thread. Please, do not only voice your concern here. Go to https://secure.playonline.com/supportus/index.html and inform the "special task force" of anything you know. I know that this is relying on the bureaucratic SE system once more, but I am trying to hold on to the last thread of optimism that holds me from switching to WoW.

I dont know if many people have noticed on any other servers, but on Valefor i have noticed alot of name begining with Val and ending with a job for example on Valefor i have found:

There is also a Valdongbei on Valefor too.

those val characters? Theyve been on valefor for yeeeaaars. way back when when I first started playing I remember them and my first encounters with Real Money Traders.

[Crisco]

Well, either they read BG and shut down those accounts asap or they got caught, but Asura's resident -dongbei hasn't made an AH sale in a week or so. Consistent sales of random high priced items (hacked account items) until June 4th and then nothing.

[Bluefrostie]

On Quetz,

Quebaihe last sold something June 9,
Quechangmao last sold something today, June 11,
Quedongbei last sold something June 10.
