WELCOME TO HDBITS.ORG



Hey, I have a favor to ask of you. I have got a limited amount of invites to hdbits.org so the first people to accept my invite to lockerz will receive an invite to hdbits untill i run out (mind you i will get more after i run out). i will send you an invite to lockerz, which is a cool FREE site where you earn PTZ and you spend the PTZ on FREE items like imacs, ipods, games, gaming consoles, and designer clothing. just follow the link in the invite and make an account(real or fake name, gender, and zip code), and they dont require any other personal info. Be quick and an hdbits invite has your name on it.

Thanks

PS, anyone that offers you bonus points for signing up is lying, it is impossible!
and if you are already a member of lockerz, sorry... i cant promise you anything unless nobody accepts my invites after a few days

Check your junkmail folders cause the invite will be sent within the next 10 mins

I will know who the first responders to my invites are. :) GOOD LUCK

Btw, these scams are NOT sent through the database of a defunct site! It is from a LIVE site operating right now!

I know this because this scam above came through an email address of mine which I only created VERY recently (like, a week ago) and changed some of my torrent/pirate site's accounts to. I'll see if I can narrow it down, we should work out what site is being abused and everyone leave that site or talk to the staff!

I haven't received any such email, so if it's being mass sent from a torrent site's db that knocks a solid number of sites off the list.

Haven't received it either, and I'm a member of a good number of trackers too.

Ok, well:

I've made a total list of possibles, and it could ONLY be one of the sites which I recently changed my email address with. This is an exact list which I can number, because it's in my records from just last week.

This list comprises 59 absolute maximum possible sites - but most of em were like digg or imdb or photobucket etc...so, narrowing it down: 26 are pirate or pirate-related, but none of em are english-speaking/mainstream private trackers - that's why you guys haven't received it. They're all basically public type sites like warez/emule forums etc.

Except for one. which stands out like a sore thumb. And I think it's the culprit. It's a bt-related site, and yes, connected to private trackers. But I don't want to name the site yet (as we should confirm and gather more info before planning, er, course of action :naughty:). What should I do?

Well I suppose I'll start by PM'ing others who got the BITMETV scam and see if they're regged at this site also...

i thought it was hdbits, so either a slp of the fingers, or bitmetv is the site where this originated (or at least the one ou think it was).

No, stoi, a similar thing happened with BMTV just a month back, I believe. That's why he'll try to confirm with older, more experienced scam victims. :P

ah right, I will go to bed now then (I didnt have a clue, nor do i really care tbh lol)

yeah I'm not regged at hdbits or bitmetv...it's not the torrent sites themselves lol...

bed is an apt conclusion stoi :P

I respond you as with pm as well. I did get this e-mail.Of course deleted immidieatelly :D But i think you are right abouth The Website...

Looks like scammers turn their attention to private sites now. :(

Hmm, but looks like its grammar is confusing.
