DDOS THREATS AGAINST CAPITALEX.COM
We received several credible DDOS and spam threats against Capitalex.com from an e-gold scammer:
Personal information removed.
Kalvin boasts about being member of an "underground group" of scammers and hackers that cheat people using e-gold (auction scammers, credit card fraudsters, extortionists, etc.) and who claim to have taken down more than 50 websites through DDOS attacks.
He is threatening to DDOS the Capitalex.com server and to send out 1 million fake emails in our name and with our return address.
If you receive any emails from Capitalex.com that appear to be spam, please ignore them. We hope we are sending out this warning in time, before the spam attack starts, just to go on the record that we are not behind it but that we have fallen victim to this cyber terrorist.
If e-gold is looking for the origin of the recent DDOS attacks against them maybe they should start with this aggressive scammer and his associates. For further details please contact us.
Should our server be attacked by a DDOS, several backup servers are standing by to go into action immediately.
Thank you for your support and understanding during this difficult time. Please spread this message widely so that potential spam recipients can be informed of this planned crime and direct their scorn towards the actual perpetrator.
BUSINESS CONTINUES AS USUAL AT CAPITALEX.COM
