Web Site Offers to Ruin People's Lives

Via Fox News -

A service offering a complete "revenge package" in which people can destroy the financial status and relationships of their enemies at the click of a mouse is being offered over the Internet.

For as little as $20 a month, customers of the confidentialaccess.com Web site can make the credit ratings of people they dislike plummet, and even have them suspected of fraud.

Victims' bank accounts can be shut down remotely and all their essential utilities cut off.

Fake e-mails and text messages which purport to come from someone else, such as the victim's spouse, can be sent containing false accusations of affairs or sexual liaisons.

[Editor's note: At one point Monday morning, the front page of www.confidentialaccess.com had been replaced by a lengthy ad offering content optimization on RSS feeds.

What appeared to have been the original front page later reappeared, with "revenge" services no longer offered, but many other fraudulent documents such as fake driver's licenses and bank statements still available.]

  1. Well, this site is hosted & registered in Singapore, so I don't think I'd give it too much credence.


    Also, i t doesn't seem to be responding to HTTP requests at the moment -- maybe it was slash-dotted. :-)

  2. Agreed. I have a feeling that it is just a great way to get $20 from some suckers..and perhaps a couple of credit cards in the process.
