Tonight i had a conversation with an unknown person. He/she was saying stuff that i dont know whether to believe. She tracked me down on ICQ, which i have not told anyone my UIN, she also found that i used arbornet which i only joined about a week ago and she had my ip address.

so she knew it was me on icq. one thing that made me doubt is the fact that she said
i am... network engineer for your isp.
she said i was with a different isp than i am and why did she not say
i am... network engineer for Telstra bigpond or what ever my isp may be.
also the isp that she mentioned, commindico, i was having trouble with one of their users constantly probing my computer, over 1500 attacks in 1 week! i did nothing in return to that and it eventually stopped.

please read it for me and give me your views. im not sure what to think about it.

she is 172232783/maria
i am Aeseroth Galanodel

Grand Master of the Knights Militant: Interesting...a hoax perhaps?
Aeseroth Galanodel: i dont know what to think!!

Grand Master of the Knights Militant: Don't worry about the FBI has no juristiction in Australia
Aeseroth Galanodel: and about 3months ago i was having constant attacks from a machine at commindico
Aeseroth Galanodel: maybe something was going on trhere
Grand Master of the Knights Militant: Some hacker it sounds like has hijakced and used your isp to cover his own tracks
Aeseroth Galanodel: mmm... maybe
Aeseroth Galanodel: soiunds plausiblke
Aeseroth Galanodel: sounds plausible*
Grand Master of the Knights Militant: Just in case it turns out serious make a copy of this conversation, print it off, show your parentals and keep it say somewhere
Aeseroth Galanodel: mmm... i should
Grand Master of the Knights Militant: *say = safe. It may be worth freaking you parents out in the short term to say your ass in the long term
