The Photobucket Blackmail scam
Re: The Photobucket Blackmail scam
On of the notices I got said my usage percentage was too high, i.e. 100% of the photos I uploaded were then shared on forums.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Fri Jul 07, 2017 6:24 pm funny but all my photobucket pics still work and i pay nothing
You might have photos uploaded that aren't shared on forums, which is why they are leaving you alone.

Re: The Photobucket Blackmail scam
why do others share ur photos and how do u know others do?
The ONLY time i use PB is so i can place the image on a forum.i dont use it to "store" my photos as i think many do
Cant understand why anyone would use it for that vs having external drives or if ur making $$, having ur own Domain and site
i use https://www.tineye.com/ to see where someone has stolen my photo and posted it

No, I mean 100% of the time, when I upload a photo to photobucket, I then post it in on a forum. I didn't use it to otherwise store photos, I only used the service when I wanted to share a photo on a forum.

Maybe I don't have enough photos to hold me for ransom, or they haven't got to me yet.

Re: The Photobucket Blackmail scam
They are ransoming access to the photos as well. I have about 1000 photos that I had posted on forums. Those links are dead now. Moreover, when I log into my account, I can see thumbnails of my photos but if I try to click through to them so as to download them or screenshot them, they are blocked.Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2017 2:55 am

Re: The Photobucket Blackmail scam
I only use pb to put photos on forums(who the fuck stores photos?lol,) looking back through I was going to post some eye candy and found my pics are all scrambled if I click the share off the thumbnail, it gives me another photo. I have to go to the photo to get the direct link.
