Accounts being created for internet fraud.

Dear Skype Users!
The group of people using English and German languages for the creation of internet-sending-money fraud has been discovered working actively in Skype accounts. The signs of these people are constantly being renovated profiles of US Army generals and oficers, sometimes civil high-positioned representatives. They can be easily recognized with USA national flag as profile picture wallpaper, pictures in military uniforms of different army departments taken from oficial US authorities websites, slogans which use the name of God like "In God We Trust". However countries of origin for profiles are different or changing. The cheating procedure is going on as follows. They approach user's contact lists as pending request for the new users to be instructed how to move in Skype. When accepted they try to make out as much as possible about the treated person, distinguish age category and income level. Normally they choose young girls, housewives and elder women. After a couple of days they call without video, speak English with West Indian or American accent and choose the tactic according to target's age. Sometimes  they offer the girl to marry himself, sometimes to receive a parcel with inheritage or a treasure. The marks how to discover the cheating offer is the amount of money value written first in numbers and immediatelly after in written letters in brackets like this: 1 000 000 $ (one million US dollars).  Main point is the "client" should send out relatively small portion of money afterwards for flight to her future fiancee, for delivery of the parcel, bank deposit via special post and so on.
So, the moment  such offer appears you should know what happens. I applied to Skype admin to help for elimination of these cheating schemes from the system. But without help of users who should block these people with "abuse" sign it will never be successful. 
With respect and good wishes,
Elena

[20:23:38] *** Gen Scot Robinson would like to add you on Skype
Enter a message to introduce yourself.
Dear trusted friend,
Season Greetings and Good Tidings to you and your Family. With due respect to you and your entire family over there, I hope it’s well with you and your family.
My names are General David Anderson a United States Army General presently serves here in Syria as the current Commander, International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and Commander, U.S. Forces Syria.
I am in desperate need of your assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you as my Brother, Sister and a friend, I am seeking your assistance to move the sum of (USD$ 22.7 Million) Twenty Two Million Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars to you as far as you will assured me that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my service here in Syria. This is no stolen money and there is no danger involved.
Some money in various currencies was discovered in barrel at a farm house in the current Syrian Civil War as a result of clashes between President Bashar al-Assad's government and rebel forces who want him out or step down [Link to BBC news article - 404 error - redacted by Moderator] and it was agreed by staff Sgt. Kenneth Buff, General David Miller, and I that some part of this money be shared among us before informing anyone about the discovery, this was quite illegal thing to do but I tell you what, no compensation will make it up for the risk we have taken our lives in this hell whole of which my colleague was killed by a road side bomb last week.
The above figure was given me as my share to cancel this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a British contact working here and his office enjoys some immunity I was able to move the money to a security company in the United States as a diplomatic consignment. They are waiting for me to provide the name of the end receiver who they will deliver the parcel to, as a soldier I can not present myself as the direct owner of this funds it against our code of conduct we are not allowed to do business and the US Government is planting a close watch on all military personnel that is why I need you to help me receive this funds.
The moment I get a response from you. that you are willing to help me I will forward all the details of the security company in the United States to you, so that you can contact them for immediate release, I want you to tell me how much you will accept for helping me to receive this funds.
One more passionate appeal please do not discuss this issue with anyone, and please if you don't like this mail please destroy this message as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us soldiers here in Syria, this is the other reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach you for help, I honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately please get back asap, my only way to communicate is by email: [e-mail removed for privacy and security]
I am willing to give you 30% out of the total funds. What is your own opinion?
My private email: [e-mail removed for privacy and security]
Yours in service,
Gen Scott Robinson

  • Tlanes not being created for all locations for one product

    Hello Experts - I need some advice on the following situation:
    We have a set of products where tlanes are only being created for 3 locations out of many.  What would cause the tlanes to not be generated for all locations if all master data elements are present?  We have a valid inforec, mrp views, etc.  I can't see anything different with the 3 locations that are working correctly.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for your resopnse:
    To answer your questions, yes, we have done all of these things and the tlanes are still not being created.  We have been using SPP for 6 months and this is the first time we've seen this problem.  Do you have any other suggestions or is there any more information I can provide you that would be helpful in solving.
    Thanks in advance for your advice.

  • List of Account Doxuments created for a material

    Hi,
    Is there any standard program/ Tcode to list the account documents created for a material in a company code over a period of time? Please help me with this.
    Thanks
    Challa

    hi,
    As per understanding u require accointing document wrt tthe material.
    Generally when movement is happening for a material, material document will be created which inturn will create accountging document
    Eg:  when outbound delivery is created with PGI for movement  type 601, material document will be created & inturn accounting docuemnt will be created.
    1. First get the material document from Table MSEG according to material
    2.With  the material doc number u can get the accounting docuemnt by using table: BKPF Accounting Document Header
    U need to enter the material doc number in the field: XBLNR Reference Document Number of table BKPF
    hope this will be helpful

  • Accounts being created with administrative group rights

    Hello,
    The server is a Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise fully patched used for Shared Hosting purposes.  It runs Hsphere control panel.  I am trying to identify how the following hack is happening. 
    1) There are users being created with Administrative group rights.   Below is the EventViewer log for the user creation:
    User Account Created:
         New Account Name:    username
         New Domain:    PCNAME
         New Account ID:    PCNAME\username
         Caller User Name:    PCNAME$
         Caller Domain:    DOMAINNAME
         Caller Logon ID:    (0x0,0x3E7)
         Privileges        -

         User Parameters:    <value not set>
         Sid History:    -
         Logon Hours:    <value changed, but not displayed>
    There exists entries as well where the primary group ID is changed to the Administrative group, but I am omitting such.
    2) I tried to identify what Caller Logon ID:    (0x0,0x3E7) means.  I found out from here:
     http://blog.joeware.net/2013/01/14/2667/ that I can use LogonSessions.exe to identify it.
    Output from LogonSessions.exe is pasted below (snippet):

    3) I also learned from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/243330/en-us that   Sid:          S-1-5-18 means:
    SID: S-1-5-18
    Name: Local System
    Description: A service account that is used by the operating system
    That is all great info, but I am not sure I can put together what I have learned to attempt and get closer towards identifying how in the world users are being created and then being assigned administrative group rights.
    I am a Linux person mostly, but I am comfortable following a properly explained thread regarding windows 2003 R2 Enterprise issues.
    The server is fully patched and it is running Lumension security product.  What's more, Norman Malware tracker, tdskiller.exe (Kaspersky) and McAfee rootkitremover.exe have been run without any apparent Malware/Virus infection
    Hope someone with advanced admin skills can advise.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    You mentioned that, “I am trying to identify how the following hack is happening”, would you please tell us that why did you think the event represent a hacking behavior?
    In a Shared Server Hosting environment, the underlying hosting control panel tool (Hsphere in this case) should be creating only virtual FTP users with a specific group.  So no users with Administrative group should be ever created.  If this happens,
    it constitutes a breach of server security=positive hacking attempt.
    >how in the world users are being created and then being assigned administrative group rights.
    In addition, would you please be more specific about this question? Did you find the event message on a domain joined machine?
    I want to be able to understand in full how/what process is allowing users to be created with Admin rights.  In other words, I want to know what IP was used to issue the command, if ASP.net was used (abused in this case), or anything else related to
    it so that we can patch this particular hole.
    Best Regards,
    Amy

  • No accounts being created - 10.5.4 install

    I recently tried an erase and reinstall of 10.5 server on a mac pro that I have acting as a stand alone server. The first time I installed I had no issues, just borked the config of DNS and I finally got some time to redo the install completely.
    Well the install process went ahead with no issues, I choose the advance setup, filled in all the required network and admin information (but skipped the registration parts), and the server rebooted leaving me at the login prompt. Everything looks good.
    I had trouble logging in - mainly I couldn't at all. I thought I was going crazy and miss-spelled the admin name (long and short) when creating the account. I rebooted from the install disc and went to the change password utility to check the name of the account and to reset the password. As it turns out the account was not available in the utility (it wasn't in the dropdown list, only root was there) so I fired up terminal to discover that no accounts were created by the setup process. The rest of the OS appears to be there and fine, but nothing in /Users.
    I tried running dscl from the terminal app on the install disc, but it's not there!
    *Any suggestions? Has anyone experience this before?* I tried searching for a couple hours and couldn't find an similar situations. I am currently running the install again and will choose standard instead of the advanced setup option (the VERY first install that I borked the settings on was done as standard and it worked fine...)
    Thanks!

    As expected Standard worked fine. Not sure what's up with the advance setup not actually setting anything up though.

  • No accounting document created for distributed cost center and asset

    Hi experts,
    Why there is no accounting document created during GR for distibuted cost center and asset?
    Thanks

    Sorry guys, there's nothing to do with the config of the account assignment. The postings are ok for single cost center or single asset. SAP system message (info messsage) " Goods receipt for distributed cost center will be non valuated" are given when you are trying to unticked the GR non valuated.
    If someone could explain what is the logic behind that behavior.
    Thanks again.

  • Local change requests being created for changing package info

    Hi experts,
                     After a client copy of object into a new server whenever changes are being made to these objects local change requests are being created. i found that the above behaviour is because of the transport layer in the package, which was also copied during client copy, is of the old server. And when that was change to the one available in the new server the change to the package also got created as local change request. Now I wan this package to get transported to quality from development ( where the change was made). Please help.

    Hi,
         Thank you for your suggestion. I Created a Tp copy and included the local change requests in them and gave target system as quality system. There were 2 requests as local change requests, only one of them took the intended change in the quality but for the other the change made in the development system was not refelecting in the quality system.

  • Change Pointers not being created for HR-PA Custom Infotype

    Problem Description:
    We have a custom Infotype in SAP to store the data for contingent employee - Infotype 9001. Change pointers is
    turned on. We are running the program RBDMIDOC to send changes to Oracle IDM using message HRMD_A. The change
    detected for all infotypes except 9001. For 9001, the change pointer is not created.
    The following are the current configuration details:
    IDOC Extension Created to Idoc type HRMD_A07 (ZHR_EXT)
    custom segment zhr_seg
    Change pointers are switched on.
    Change pointers switched on for message Type HRMD_A.
    IDOC configuration created for Port / Process code etc.
    Maintenance of view T777D - Added ZHR_SEG.
         If I add the segment ZHR_SEG as a 2nd segment to Infotype 0000, I dont get a syntax error. But the changes for Infotype 9001 are not picked up.
         If I add the segment ZHR_SEG as a segment to Infotype 9001, I get a syntax error - check EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (mandatory segment missing) below.
    EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (mandatory segment missing)
    Message no. E0072
    Diagnosis
    The segment ZHR9001 has the attribute 'Mandatory' in the syntax description of the basic type HRMD_A07 (customer enhancement ZHR_EXT). However, the segment is missing in the IDoc. The segment number logged in the status record identifies the item before which the segment is missing.
    This error may have been triggered by an unidentifiable segment before the expected mandatory segment.
    Procedure
    Please check the IDoc or the syntax description of the basic type HRMD_A07 (customer enhancement ZHR_EXT).

    Were you able to resolve the issue?
    If yes, could you please share what was done to resolve it.
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.

  • How can I install Thunderbird without a "Special Account" being created

    A new installation of Thunderbird is creating a "Special Account", the name of which I need to use for another account. I cannot change the name of the "Special Account" and the new account must use that name but TB will not accept two accounts with the same name. I have read an explanation of the special account and I do not need it or want it. I need to know how to prevent the creation of the special account. Is there some part of an earlier installation buried in the Registry or elsewhere which I need to delete? I have installed TB on other computers without this problem.

    Yes, there is a local folder special account in every single installation that has ever occurred in Thunderbirds 10 years of existence.,
    So perhaps you could explain what the issue is so we might be able to understand and advise on how to do what your trying to do.

  • Romaing Profile no longer being created for new Users hwne they login

    After creating an account in WGM and logging into a computer that is joined to the domain, the server is unable to create the roaming profile for the user as it has done for previous accounts. I get the following popup message from Windows which indicates a permission problem I think:
    Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you logoff. Possible causes of this error include network problems or insufficient security rights. If this problem persists, contact your network administrator.
    DETAIL - Access is denied.
    Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.
    If I create the directory manually under /Users/Profiles and then login to the account the profile is created and it operates normally for that account from there on.
    I haven't changed any permissions on this Directory but I have recently changed the Directory Administrator password as well as the local Administrator password. Could that be the problem?

    Hi there
    Sorry for the delay.
    No, this is still an open issue, the way I fixed it is I decided to start using an LDAP to store dynamic creation of user entries. With LDAP it work perfectly.
    Sorry but I've got no solution at this time

  • Once my facilitator account is created for VPP Education, do I need to create appleIDs to distribute apps?

    Regarding VPP for Education;
    1. I have created the Program Manager
    2. I have created my Facilitator
    3. Do I need to create sub account for the people redeeming codes?

    Your research and understanding is correct. If you want to use DPS to target anything other than an iPad you need Professional or Enterprise edition.

  • Wiki directories not being created for groups

    I am trying to get the wiki service working for a few groups on my 10.5 server and not having much luck with it. I've enabled the wiki and blog services in Workgroup Manager for three of the groups on my server, but only one of them seems to have the corresponding directory tree created in /Library/Collaboration/Groups/
    All three groups show up on the website. One works completely, but if I click either of the other two I just get a "404: No group with that name (groupname) hosted on this server" error page.
    I tried faking it out by copying the directory structure from the one working group into a directory for one of the other groups, but that didn't seem to trick the server into working. I've tried restarting the Web server with no apparent effect.
    What triggers the creation of the directories inside /Library/Collaboration/Groups/ and why is it not happening sometimes?

    I have been having the same set of problems. After playing around for a couple of hours here is what I did to solve most of these:
    1. Make sure that you have the full Domain Name (www.example.com) for your website in the web/general section of server admin. I just had example.com at first which caused some of my problems. Also, when accessing the site make sure you enter the full domain name (www.exmaple.com) into your browser. Omitting the www caused me to also get a 404 message when trying to access my groups.
    2. Make sure that you have your server setup as an Open Directory Master.
    3. Make sure that your users and groups are not created in a local directory but instead are done in the LDAP. I had my users and groups created in the local directory which caused them not to properly work when I was trying to select users/groups in the Web Services section for my sites.
    P.S.
    Maybe I am just a little ******** but I think Apple could have made all this a little easier or at least documented it a bit better!

  • Account being suspended for no reason

    Recently, I have no idea why my skype account was suddenly suspended even I have been using automatic login from my andriod cell phone and was using it to make a phone call a week ago successfully with no problem. And I have just purchase a $10 credit for my skype account. Was trying to release my account by following the instructions from the website but unsuccessful. The respondent: Imelda S JUST SIMPLY TOLD ME: he cannot help me to recover my account because some information cannot be verified. HE HASN'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO HELP AT ALL. In addition, I hate to say this but some of the information you guys asking was like +10 years ago, this is ridiculous. I do hope if ANYONE could help me to recover the account asap otherwise I would rather switch to another company and would share this story to my colleagues so that they would think twice before using your service in the future

    Tried to online chat again, and was told to wait for the investigation.
    Anyone has any luck to have the account unblocked after the "investigation"?  If so, how long does it take?
    Thanks!
