Spammer Bidchaser.com – Down Hard!

On May 21, 2004, in E-commerce, by David

This is the result of going to bidchaser.com today, every second the error.php page is displayed with this. Leo Cunha, the “webmaster” of BidChaser, used a “double opt in mailing list” to spam members of the OAUA. The worst kind of spam. Do not use bidchaser. You’ve been warned!

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘db4.bidchaser.com’ (113) in /usr/local/apache.1.3.28/htdocs/bidchaser.com/includes/settings.inc.php on line 12

Warning: mysql_select_db(): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/tmp/mysql.sock’ (2) in /usr/local/apache.1.3.28/htdocs/bidchaser.com/includes/settings.inc.php on line 16

Warning: mysql_select_db(): A link to the server could not be established in /usr/local/apache.1.3.28/htdocs/bidchaser.com/includes/settings.inc.php on line 16

ToyRanch at The Ross Board gets an email showing him what Old Troy MacDonald and his staff at Gegy has done for JayAndMarie (onecentcds) on eBay:

http://www.gegy.com/demo/jayAndMarie/

Neither JayOrMarie are talking.

This store was established when JayAndMarie held an auction for their CD business, trying to sell it for 5 million dollars. It has been unavailable at times, but seems like its available again.
