Scam Alert – Watch Out For A Fake John Chow

I hate spammers and hackers. They make the internet dirty.

There's always one. You know you're successful when you have people wishing they were in your shoes.

I thought that I would do anything for money but this is not on. I would not resort to ripping people off (well knowingly at least)

Funny , where did that guy think he will end up ? Gaining the same amount of traffic to his website , as much as JohnChow.com receives ? Or I just don`t get it ! and well.. maybe John Chow and Shoe Money should start up a new blog , in their spare time , after having success with the initial two.

i can recognize the true John hpefully!! )

Geez these scammers... you have to be careful, next thing you know they will be asking you to sign up for some programs... asking credit card details and then bang... :???:

We ought to be more careful while using MSN, accepting new/unknown user who added you.

I would guess that the fake John Chow is an overweight white guy with a very stale sense of humor.

Man I am disappointed. I thought you and shoe were working a program just for me over at digital point. I thought it sounded to good to be true. Anyway if you guys do have something cooking drop me a line.

That is too dangerous. But how he/she manage to create such account webmaster@johnchow.com ?? :shock:

--blog for dream--

Also there are domains sounding similar... after John Cow (which I thought stands for a good cause and I like him) there's one John How... johnhow.com (though punchlined 'Miscellaneous ramblings of an entertainment mogul')

LOL

After the 419 scam, here comes the johnchow scam :smile:

You know they say your not successful until your "hater" count is up. So you must be pretty successful:!:

Thanks for the heads up. Damn those scammers

not a new scam. I have seen this happen on several forums. The pattern is the same, they usually try to steal your paypal info.

John,
I will add a link to this post in my scam section on my blog as well to help spread the word. God I hate scammers!

This text is a link to a page on
the World Wide Web.

Thanks for info John! ;)

I'd feel proud first when someone would impersonate me, it would show how much fame my blog has got me, then I'd take action!

This type of thing is going to happen once in a while. So I say be on the look out for other copy cats as well.

Maybe soon there will be a fake Shoemoney also...

The people who act as fake i guess is just want to have more visitor.

Better idea: Find the fake Chow, scam the fake Chow back, Scambaiter style!

Hello real JOHN CHOW!
The fake one is envious of your achievements and he wants to be YOU! But there is only one room for one JOHN CHOW.

Copycats will always be around.

It's easy to think of it as a compliment when someone copies you or something you've created, but when they are harming others under your name it gets a bit more serious.

Good job on spreading the word, here's hoping they get what's coming to them.

I saw a fake John Cow page last week... you know people have too much time on their hands when they copy a copier. lol

I wonder if there's a fake John Cow, cause then they would be a copy of a copy?

MSN = EPIC FAIL! :roll:

Now a day's people will do anything just to earn money. Why want to scam? Just read Johnchow.com and put some hard work sure can make some money! :twisted:

So I wonder if this means there will be a fake Shoemoney soon. He has to keep the scam going.

Maybe that recent series about looking out for scams helped? :lol:

Hell, I need people to comment on my blog!

It is actually easy impersonating another person in a email

Not that hard. All you need is an understand of the mail-format and a pop3 server

Wow, John are you more irritated or flattered? What # imposter is this for you?

Very Lucky i must say.

I think you are so famous everyone just want to be you. BUt I think it's bad and wrong to steal somebody identity. Everyone is unique even twins we could tell by the finger prints.

I have a funny tought, if there's someone pretending to you. I wonder if this person did a plastic surgery to be looking like you. :twisted:

by the way if the matter become serious maybe you can make a report?

Okay. It's a good thing you told us.

That's the flip side of fame.

Thanks mate for the heads up, stupid someone would actually try to fake being you and try to fool your readers.

That is terrible, and I hate someone who tries to copy other image to make profits. I heard that there is another blog called Not John Chow or something that I could not remember. Maybe you are too famous for them to make copy of.
