Drcodyjones Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Me and my COO were sitting in our teamspeak earlier discussing things when a random user named Colin Woody popped in. We have never given anything about our website or teamspeak out. He claimed to be a web designer working for Boeing and Mcdonald Douglas and coded a majority of their website. He claims to have done a lot of work with PHPVMS and actually had a fair amount of knowledge about the system. Now he wants to be a web designer for my VA. What should I do? He also has a VATSIM ID. Should I let him join or is he a little too suspicious? Cody 1 Quote
Moderators Kyle Posted July 12, 2012 Moderators Report Posted July 12, 2012 I call this way too suspicious... How would he be getting your TS Info... That's the question and that sounds like a hacker here. My suggestion is to secure your teamspeak with a password and keep it private only to members of your VA. How the heck would he be a web designer for Boeing and McDonald Douglas? This is how I would interveiw candidates, I get the candidates to show their work, completely by giving me their example of codes, and ensuring it's a fully working code...ETC, get him to show his work that he has completed in full. Otherwise, I don't know much what you are seeing, I can call this a bluff and suspicious. Few of my buddies may know him becasue they were approached with a few false/face-up web designer and they rejected all of them. I'll ask them. Colin Woody - I ran the name in google search and he's the CEO of this VA (I don't think his website is much a web desinger and not running phpVMS) - http://www.usairways...ement-team.html Quote
Drcodyjones Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Posted July 12, 2012 He told us about his VA beforehand. Some more things about the stories that don't add up: He said he was 18. How could he have worked for Boeing and MCD if he was 18? Said he lives in Seattle, traced his IP to Wichita, KS. Said he was in Oshkosh on vacation, later said he was in Texas. Think I'm going to go ahead and ban his IP from TS and the site. Thanks! Quote
Moderators Kyle Posted July 12, 2012 Moderators Report Posted July 12, 2012 He said he was 18. How could he have worked for Boeing and MCD if he was 18? What a perfect way to lie! . Said he lives in Seattle, traced his IP to Wichita, KS. Used a proxy, good thing you traced the IP! Said he was in Oshkosh on vacation, later said he was in Texas. Still Lying... Think I'm going to go ahead and ban his IP from TS and the site. It is suggested and you are lucky to ask us here before going ahead, otherwise it would been much worst. Thanks! Not A Problem! Quote
Drcodyjones Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Posted July 12, 2012 I couldn't imagine giving him access to the FTP Server! Quote
Kyle Watkins Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Dont give him any information. He came to my VA and asked for it all. He also told me the same that he coded and all that. Then I found him going into my source and trying to log into my admin panel. Just ban his IP because he will try to take you down.. Quote
Tom Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 It's somewhat amusing that you'd believe a senior web designer/developer from Boeing would offer to work on a phpVMS website. 3 Quote
Kyle Watkins Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 He's not what he says he is. He's some kind of 15 year old prankster... Quote
Moderators Kyle Posted July 12, 2012 Moderators Report Posted July 12, 2012 Just talked with my buddies. They said the same thing what Colin Woody said about being a designer for Boeing... ETC. Don't let him into anything, he's just a fraud... Quote
Drcodyjones Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Posted July 12, 2012 Thanks guys! I banned him after he couldn't give me proof about working with Boeing. He kept using fillers like 'uhh' and 'umm' trying to find a way to fashion up some fake proof. It was actually kind of amusing. I appreciate it! Cody Quote

rpalmer800 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Yeah, its Funny, i host Teamspeak 3 servers, and the other day a person named Collin Woody entered my server and told me he was a VATSIM SUP, and 30 seconds later he had the server offline because he had some sort of script that sent like 100's of packets at a time, and he crashed the server. 1 Quote

edmundk Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Collin Woody, is a 15 year old prankster, he cannot do any part of web design services and has no idea on how to use PhpVMS. He has tried to play us before... Quote

I'm a staff member at Denver ARTCC on VATSIM and we had our teamspeak crashed in a similar manner. Another time, some kid came in and was pretending to be the ATM on his Ipod(I wasn't online at the time) and asked for admin permissions. Unfortunately, our training administrator pulled a 'whoopsie' and, without thinking, granted him admin permissions. We couldn't get our TS back for quite a while. Why do people do this? What is the point in it? Do they take enjoyment out of it? Quote
rpalmer800 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Yeah, i Really dont get it either. Its just so worthless and low. Quote
TaylorWelka Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 he was using whats called "shells" on a server that is sending packets and bots servers which causes them to crash he did the same to me. Be careful around him. Quote
Drcodyjones Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Posted July 13, 2012 Gotta love them forum spammers. Thanks for the replies! Quote

Moderators Kyle Posted July 14, 2012 Moderators Report Posted July 14, 2012 Still on what he was doing by sending whatever was that to crash Teamspeak servers. Quote
