Anyone been a "bot" trying to scambait?

Post by MadHatterene » Wed Jul 07, 2021 1:25 pm

So I decided to use an entirely different browser for scambaiting's sake to keep myself from accidentally logging into my real accounts or anything of the sort. However, I'm now being told by both mugu guestbook and yandex with my sender address that I'm a bot/been hacked by scammers?

yandex wants me to add a phone number to the account for security so I guess I'm already burning that bridge before I even get to my first bait, but like, does anyone have any idea why that'd've happened?

Most email providers (and social media sites for that matter) have security in place to protect users from being hacked, so by switching from your usual browser to a different one, you must have raised suspicions that your account is being hacked and now they are asking you to secure your account.

I'm surprised that mugu guestbook has that type of security in place though, so perhaps it is just your IP address that is triggering them and they think you may be a bot.

I've only had problems so far when I tried to log in to my private accounts with VPN still active. ;)

I bounce back and forth between Edge, Brave and Firefox, but have never seen that happen. Gmail does not like VPNs. I use Thunderbird to keep all my baiting related accounts in one place.
