Quixtar and their idiot savants
By QBlog in Blog News
I just got an email from a guy named Gerald J. Reardon (who I assume is in Quixtar) containing his name and both his old and new 16 digit credit card numbers as well as the name of the issuing bank.
I had to do a double-take. He sent in his email address too so I emailed him about it and told him to call his credit card company immediately, among other things. I have not heard back from Mr. Reardon.
I have no idea who this guy is, never heard of him before in my life, never had any sort of contact with anyone named Reardon that I know of and certainly NEVER solicited this information from him. I don't want this information from him or anyone else. I have contacted the issuing bank and sent them a copy of the email just to let them know what was going on.
This is truly bizarre. I've had sites on the Web in one form or another for about 4-5 years and nothing like this has ever happened. What's really weird is that he sent in all this info but didn't send in his expiration date. Hmmmm. Everytime I've had a card change numbers I've also had the expiration date change too and to my knowledge, a card isn't much good with a correct expiration date. So for what purpose would he send me this information? He certainly wasn't trying to donate money to the site (I have a PayPal link for folks who want to do that). It's just really strange.
The reason I assume the guy is in Quixtar is because his return email address is @quixnet.net. Something about all of this smells extremely fishy. More later... maybe.

WHY ARE YOU ASKING FOR DONATIONS IF YOU ARE THE MOST INTELLIGENT HUMAN BEING (ACCORDING TO YOURSELF)?
IS YOUR LAST NAME "NEGATIVE"?
hello i'm in france and my name is labiad and my brother is name redouane
Hang in there, Qb.
What you do is WORTH IT. If I had some available dough, I'd donate it to you. I, for ONE, am GLAD you're there.

PS:
Anyone who doesn't know what it takes to hold onto an endevor like this (his blog) and keep it limited to the subject at hand (in his case, quixtar, in my case: people doing stupid things, a much broader topic which INCLUDES quixand/scamway) anyway, it takes dedication and talent.
SALUT, a toast to you, Qb.
and thank you, seriously.

Yeah, keep it up, yo. This site rocks. Altho I bet Quixtar IBOs use it to find posts in order to anonymously register and talk about how the critic is a negative loser.
btw, "IS YOUR LAST NAME 'NEGATIVE'?"
ZOMG ROFL BBQ
You are really stupid. Even after all your negativity, you are probably a Quixtar user anyway,
