unless brad's bored

I believe it but it isn't Brad Booth, it's StevDaPimp, West Virginia's favorite scammer. I'll look for old info on him and post. He has at some point accessed half the poker worlds AIMS. If Brad needs info on kid, Witteles and Micon have all his info, I know his real name but don't want to say it/ Think he's in Huntington,WV but I'm not positive.

There was a lot on this guy written by Todd Witteles but I can't find it. Since he got banned it's not around anymore maybe ?

Any scam from WV, assume SteveDaPimp, and you'll be right 95% of the time as he's hacked everyone. If anyone knows Brad they should tell him because this kid has stolen a lot of money.



This was here at one time:


I made this post on 2+2 in 2007, but it still applies today.

This is in reference to SteveDaPimp, who hacked AOL accounts and then requested poker passwords for accounts that were registered to them.

================================================== ==============================
===================



Regarding recent hackings of AOL/AIM:

1) AOL and AIM are NOT the same. SteveDaPimp is the one responsible for the recent AOL hackings. He has been doing so from the inside -- he has some sort of administrator access that allows him to freely see the password of any AOL account he chooses. This isn't a guess. It's a fact, and he demonstrated his ability to do this to one of my friends (who was one of his victims). Once he has those AOL passwords, he simply requests the passwords for all poker accounts registered to that e-mail address. He also scans the incoming/saved e-mail for all personal information, as well as info on other pros. For example, if Howard Lederer sent John Juanda an e-mail last month saying, "You were hilarious at Red Lobster last Saturday!", Steve could now contact Howard pretending to be John, making reference to Red Lobster last month in order to "prove" he really is John Juanda.

2) AIM, while owned and operated by AOL, is a different system and apparently not vulnerable the same way AOL is. I do not know of any hackings of AIM itself at this time, though it wouldn't surprise me if that system was also compromised at one point. In most cases, AIM passwords are hacked by use of a keylogger.

3) SteveDaPimp's typical MO is to impersonate known pros in order to get money "loaned" to him. For example, he once created an AIM account named "ToddWitteles" to impersonate me. He asked various people to "trade" money between two poker sites, while obviously not planning to send his part. He assumed that I would be blamed for it, which I was at first until it was cleared up and I fortunately had the poker site (Party) return the money to the victim. He has done this to countless other pros, including Paul Wasicka, Twin-Caracas, and many others. In addition to creating phony pro AIM accounts (I stupidly never registered ToddWitteles on AIM, so he easily took it for himself), he also has hacked a number of them through keyloggers. Once he gains control of them, he does the same thing (requests to borrow money under the AIM accounts of trusted pros.) He also did the same with many of the AOL accounts he recently hacked, as AOL and AIM accounts communicate over the same network.

4) Here is how you can prevent SteveDaPimp and others like him from victimizing you in the same fashion:

- Do not have ANY poker sites registered to an AOL address.

- Register every poker site to a different e-mail address. Also, make sure each e-mail address (perhaps one you create on Yahoo or Hotmail) does not have a connection to you. Don't use them to communicate with other poker players, and don't make them easy to guess. For example, create one like "desklamp344@yahoo.com" -- something random that nobody would associate with you. This way, even if Steve does find a way to compromise Yahoo, he won't know where to look for your account.

- Do not EVER accept attachments or direct connect requests on AIM without knowing FOR SURE that you are talking to a trusted party. The only way you can do this for sure is to call the person and ask if it's really them talking to you right now. I wouldn't trust an AIM attachment from my own mother unless I first called and asked if it was really her I was talking to.

Knew the story was going to be ******ed soon as I saw OP's name.

Read thread but missed this. I think it's SteveDaPimp for sure. This whole story is his MO>

This thread is of value!!

Sounds like BS. Haven't all passwords been encrypted since like early 90s?

What you describe is hacking. 1337 hAx0rIng, well maybe not.

Aim has so many ways to be compromised it is not even funny. I think most script kiddies start with aim.

I'm honestly not qualified to answer about the how. I know for a fact he has hacked many, many well known pros accounts including many 2 +2 ers. If hack isn't the correct term, compromised ? The mechanism by which he does it is beyond me, I simply quoted it because I remember a hundred scams originating from WV by this kid.

I thought I remembered Witteles being a computer programmer orignally so I assumed he knew what he was talking about. Regardless, the kid has used a ton of players AIMS in some way, that's indisputable, and stole a lot of money.

How has this not caught FBI attention? Why haven't people sued AOL?

obv not mutually exclusive concepts in this case

does anybody know the guys real name? why have his legs not been broken? what were the names for the wu transfer?

erm... I think you don't understand how university works in most of Europe.

How do people fall for these scams

Op Ill come to your house and protect you from the real or fake Brad Booth just send me the money by WU by Monday I wont fall for the lighting or the sic trick

The sad thing about this thread is how no one is taking it seriously at all except for a couple people, including Andy Bloch... Hmmm OP may be an idiot but so are most of the posters in this thread. If this is true, it is certainly threadworthy and should be treated with more seriousness...

Anyone else feel sorry for OP? There is just level of innocence to his demeanor. It's kinda like he just found out there no Santa, or hit the big city all starry-eyed, with suitcase in tow to get promptly mugged.

The fact you felt the need to tell us you were being sarcastic made this a fail.

[ ]Brad Booth

This is a level I hope

It would be good for Brad to address this himself, but with all the busto chatter in the OP, I doubt he will. It's clearly a scam & I hope they bust whoever's been doing this.

cool mirrion

OPs post and the longish post about AOL mugging were the best ones in this thread.

suffice to say, nvg is dying.

/thread.

"TheRealPhilIvey" just added me on messenger. I think this might be him. He asked for a $100 xfer on stars and I would be getting $150 back on fulltilt. Should i do it?

I think we scared OP off poker forever.

I knew I'd do a good deed someday in my life.

Heres what I don't get. How does a thread like this exist? Why was it not locked? Where is the evidence?

So many holes in this story right from the start. He says he goes to a University but needs his parents permission to send a Western Union? House hit by lightning and getting food poisining?
Andy bloch calls BS ITT.
CMON 2 plus 2. At least be consistent with patrolling of these useless, slandering threads.

lol how is this thread not locked after this post
