“Could you please find the password to a livejournal account?”

Oh my…

Through the nature of my hobby/research I tend to a lot of these things but this one is quite egregious, and my first blog-based one:

[www.crypticide.com]

I don’t know if you could help me or not and I’m very sorry if I bother you by asking you to do this favor for me… Could you please find the password to a livejournal account for me?

The account is: brokenladder804

Please email me at TommyMcTomTom2@aol.com with any information or suggestions. You have no idea how grateful I would be if you did happen to find it for me.

Once again, I am very sorry if this comment bothers you!

Thanks!

The resultant Google cache-searches for tommymctomtom2, brokenladder804, and another keyword that I believe associates with this person: therapudicsmile – these search results seem to imply a concerted and ongoing attempt to obtain certain third-parties’ passwords.

Certainly http://www.livejournal.com/users/brokenladder804/ exists, and looking at “friends” cited by [www.livejournal.com] it seems that these people (a) are young, and (b) live in the Florida area.

Ah! He really was posting from AOL. As John Kerry might say, quelle surprise.

    I assume you forwarded that to the Livejournal Abuse team? I’m sure they’d like to know about it!

    http http://www.livejournal.com/abuse/report.bml if not.

    not done that; strictly it is not an abuse of LJ, but maybe they can let the owner know.
