England and Scotland courts My post to ULM (Identifying Imposters)

wrote: snipped cos you've read it already Having now downloaded nearly 22,000 posts (again!) and searched through, it would seem that Emrys Davies (the real one) uses Windows Live Mail, not Groundhog. I have also noticed another common denominator in the impersonations, so we have: 1) email address (usually but not always and this is easy to spoof of course) 2) the Groundhog newsreader (which AFAIK is Android specific and so offers some additional means to check) 3) the use of aioe.org as the news posting host plus 4) the ID spoofed is often one whose "real owner" hasn't posted for a day or two at least and so is, perhaps, assumed to be unlikely to immediately notice the impersonation. Also interesting that the spoofers/impersonators have joined in the attack on the "real" Judith and stirred things up even more. She can, I think, be forgiven for getting a bit uppity. I would in her situation. So check the group every day, folks. -- Cheers, Jake ======================================= URGling from the other end of Swansea Bay where it's unusually just like Dave's end, only better |

Clever, that. Also interesting that the spoofers/impersonators have joined in the attack on the "real" Judith and stirred things up even more. She can, I think, be forgiven for getting a bit uppity. Checking the posting history it seems she has 'form', for both name- changing to get around kill-files, and being uppity quite a lot. Still, if she behaves in urg, let sleeping dogs lie I say. |
