Re: What's with Hungercity again?

No. I have not been hanging out at HungerCity, but I did receive a hillarious email from them today, which I have pasted below. I have changed my actual name, I have replaced sensitive characters that could identify me and the transaction with asterisks, and I have highlighted some of text with boldface. Otherwise, this is the email I received verbatim:

Quote:
From: HungerCity Tracker <[email protected]>
Subject: Reference: SERVER HC ORGANIZATION - Donation from Jonathan Dough ([email protected])

Thank you for your donation, Sorry for the extreme delay in processing your credits, but we need to know the email addy used to send the funds from PayPal... Thank you again!

Hello HungerCity,

This email confirms that you have received a donation of $**.00 USD from Jonathan Dough ([email protected]). You can view the transaction details online.

Donation Details

PayPal Email ID ******
Someone really "need[s] to know the email addy used to send the funds from PayPal" ? Did this person ever think ... uh ... that it might be the address to which said person sent the email asking me what my email address is? Does PayPal not make it crystal clear what my email address is? Is there not (the section in bold) a link that leads to the transaction details? Is there something that I'm missing here, or is this person truly one of the dumbest lumps of flesh polluting this planet?

Re: What's with Hungercity again?

So it does go on then? Incredible. This guy obviously knows what he wants. Or maybe HC is a professional psychological experiment. Something like: how long can you abuse users in a music torrent site until someone actually does pull the plug? For many many years, obviously...

The staff listing has been decimated. Lots of familiar names now over at EL.

Re: What's with Hungercity again?

Update:
Oct. 27, 2013 - Mass donation PM received, as described by daddyray above
Oct. 28, 2013 - tracker offline, can't connect.
Even the following link that showed hungercity.org online during recent shutdown shows it as down now.

If that's the address of HC's PayPal account, rather than the longstanding [email protected], may one infer that PayPal shut down the original account and, perhaps, this new account once they realized (or were tipped off) that both accounts went to one and the same person, whom I shall call, to protect her or his anonymity, "ShaQueeF" ?

What also interests me is that the tracker itself is reportedly down-down. I wonder if he has been shut down, if he's just given up since he can't use the site to cash in, or if he went the whole hog to really take it off-line now that she or he knows we're all not as stupid as he or she is.

Poor ShaQueeF.
