... IMPUDENCE from an EMAIL Hijacker ...

[Candelero]

PLEASE TAKE 2 minutes REST and read this. THANK YOU !
__________________________________________________ _____

I had a really strange conversation the last two days via the Email with someone,
who "KINDLY" tried to hijack me to send him the last official V-Ray build.

Lots of granted users who are having some misunderstandings about V-Ray or want to ask typical questions about the new features in it, etc. etc, are writing to us every day. We of course are trying to do our best to support all of them asap.

So what happened the last two days really shocked me a lot, as I never believed such impudence is normal nowadays.

At least I would never though this can EVER work out.

I will briefly paste some quotes from the mails we had exchanged.
See it yourself and I will leave the conclusion open:

I have absolutely no idea what documents he is talking about.

mail 3

That image applied from him was the project he was talking about, which settings HE so hardly remembers. Oviously, the guy can't even type the room correctly. Pity, That is too BAD.

Anyway, let's consider that so far everything is OK.
BUT what really threw me behind the board, was the next screen-shot which came with the next mail.

Now comes the funny part.
Looking back at "his" rendering, the tab says: V-Ray 1.48.03., Right.
(we all remember that specific build versions, don't we).

But TAKE a closer look at the GUI crop.
WHAT DOES IT SAY ?

So, that really provoced me a lot, and I just asked him to provide his
login datas for the support/download sections.

Hello design,

I would kindly ask you to send me your account datas:
Your login and pass for the Support section (the ones you have after PURCHASING V-Ray Renderer)

Thank You!

Anyway, I sent him back a reply, in which I exposed him.

And there is the final mail.

I am so sorry, but let me ask you something please?
Why do you angry with me?
If someone bought it one year ago, and then actually he gave it to me without any lisence.
Okay, tell me how much money do I have to pay for registration vray, Is that all right.

[jacksc02]

ha haaaa thats the funniest thing i have seen in a while.

[CCS]

Nikki, why don't you just back off. Can't you see you have alredy offend him? Okey??? :P

BTW, it looks to me like you have been having a conversation with babelfish.

[rivoli]

I guess we should be offended, that's the phoniest blanket ever.

and what the hell is he typing on two keyboards for?

[RErender]

I guess we should be offended, that's the phoniest blanket ever.

and what the hell is he typing on two keyboards for?

because it is nearly impossible to pirate a KVM?

[rivoli]

that must be it. though there's something fishy about those keyboards.. I'm not totally sold they're actually connected to anything.

[percydaman]

maybe he was modelling something in pov-ray in that image of him.

[priad]

[voltron7]

Maybe I'm a meanie, but I hate seeing pictures of people working at computers. Anyways, what an a$$.

[visumporec]

[voltron7]

he ought to buy the software first, then learn about design before he worries about "special settings." Door handle looks about chest height, 2 of the same picture seems odd, to, just to start. What the hell?! If he can buy 2 computers, etc, why can't he afford a liscence of vray?

[jujubee]

Wow - extreme balls and/or extreme stupidity writing someone at Chaos when you don't have a license.

I'm not a piano player, but how do you type on two computers at the same time?

[rpc212]

I think this guy has got to be incredibly S T U P I D !

"Yes, I am going to contact the company who makes the product I pirated and ask for "special settings" because I am who I am!"

[Shimakaze]

That really is mindbending
By the way, what was it about build 1.48.03?
I only started using Vray this year so I don't know it
