This report is a real entertaining one. So grab yourself some popcorn and have a laugh. It all started when a guy fromwww.submissionsservice.com requested a demo version of our softwarecalled “GSA Auto Website Submitter” with limitations turned offso that he could try it in full mode. Of course we rejected thatrequest and told him to use the demo version to evaluate it. Somehow he must have expected adifferent answer and got very angry with us. He used some differentemail and told us that he just cracked our software and will now giveit away to everyone for free. We discovered very fast that thisperson is the same as the one who requested a full version someminutes ago since the IP was the same in both email headers. Any further try to communicate withthis guy was rejected (out of office email reply).instead he nowstalked us. And now the fun part starts. He must have learned a lesson now andused proxies to hide his IP. But as this proxy thing must still benew to him, he was dumb enough and replied on our website's contactformula to an email we wrote him. He used the same IP as in some ofthe fake emails you can read below. Better luck next time I wouldsay. He also pretends on his website that hewrote a review about our software and that we are now upset about it.in face he never did that and is of course trying to let us shine ina bad light. Anyway here are some of the emails weget each day. He has a lot fantasy for sure. 02-12 we justdownloaded yor software from a website in canada, we installed it andran it and it promptly ERASED our c: drive! What kind of company areyou? I hope you are large because my legal department is going tochew you up and spit you out! You have got some nerve releasing atrojan horse with your name on it! 02-16 as a PUBLICSERVICE to the computing community, Julian at Wikileaks has publishedan extensive article about GSA software is trashing computers aroundthe world.By close of business today this article will be on ALLWikileaks sites and mirrored sites (except those in Germany for legalreasons) and the whole world will know about GSA! I hope all thepublicity is good for GSA's future business? 02-17 i just finisheduploading my versions of your software to
your website. Took awhile to get in, but your security
sucks!
Now you have aninteresting problem. You have to check the
software you makeavailable to the public. But if you check
the software and Iwould do so several times a day, you run
the risk of activating atrojan copy and destroying your
hard drive. But you have to checkeach program since you
make them available to the public.interesting problem!
Now that I know how to get in and uploadI will be there
several times a week to make sure the proper (my) copies
of your software are available for download. 02-18 My name isJulian. As a public service to computer users
around the worldWikileaks is now featuring an article
about how GSA's software isdestroying computers around
the world.By the time you receivethis email all Wikileaks
sites and mirror sites will carry thisarticle. Wikileaks
sites and mirror sites in germany will notcarry this article
so your solicitor cannot obtain a court orderto stop
publication. Wikileaks gets millions of hits day so itshould
not be long before your story is know world wide.

saved in the most unlikely of places. The NSA madesure

Thankyou for taking the time to read and consider this offer. There are actually a lot more of theseemails. I just picked the most entertaining once. After we had enough of this silly andchildish emails we contacted him again. He replied with this email: I am a licensed attorney. I have been hired by and representSubmissions Service Ltd.

If this guy would have put so much work into hisbusiness I guess he would even get a customer. But I hope aftersomeone reads this, he stays out of such a psychopath.
