 sking you a bunch of questions to get to your e-mail's answer to your secret password. This may/may not be real, but sure seemed suspicious, and you have a right to know.
NEVER give out personal information online. Click Full Story for a transcript and info.
His SN was changed for the following transcript, although my own is readily available in several places:
*Edit: By the way, every piece of personal information, complete lie. =)
Session Start (HVSahin:RandomMan): Tue Mar 30 00:28:31 2004
RandomMan: hi
Hvsahin: hello
Hvsahin: who might this be?
RandomMan: you dont know me
RandomMan: im working on a college thesis atm on the connection of horoscopes and the human mind
Hvsahin: how then, do you know me?
Hvsahin: college thesis?
Hvsahin: Alright... and?
RandomMan: you were in the directory for aim
Hvsahin: I am?
RandomMan: i want to ask you if you mind answering a few questions
Hvsahin: Could you link me to the page?
Hvsahin: Sure.
RandomMan: do you enjoy your life?
Hvsahin: Yes, I do.
RandomMan: do you enjoy your place of work and the people around you there?
Hvsahin: I love my job, yes. And all my co-workers are my friends.
RandomMan: nice. do you know what sign you are(horoscope)?
Hvsahin: It should be in the directory, no?
Hvsahin: My birth month?
*Note: Turned on timestamp
[00:32] RandomMan: no unfortunately, because if it did, it would make my project so much easier :)
[00:32] Hvsahin: haha
[00:32] Hvsahin: could you link me to my page though? I don't know where to find it.
[00:32] RandomMan: sure can
[00:33] RandomMan: can i get back to you in 3 more questions on that? i simply saved all the aims to a database
[00:33] Hvsahin: Sure.
[00:33] RandomMan: do you know what sign you are(horoscope)?
[00:34] Hvsahin: the fish
[00:34] Hvsahin: =)
[00:35] RandomMan: k :)
[00:35] RandomMan: do you often read predictions according to your horoscope, and do you feel they have impacted your life in any way?
[00:35] Hvsahin: Never read them, don't intend to either.
[00:36] RandomMan: thats interesting
[00:36] Hvsahin: My girlfriend signed me up for a few sites.
[00:36] Hvsahin: She used to be into that thing.
[00:36] Hvsahin: I don't pay it any attention anymore though.
[00:37] RandomMan: out of 175ish people that have responded as the same month of you that enjoyed both their life and place of work... you are only the third that dont read the horoscopes
[00:37] Hvsahin: Haha.
[00:37] Hvsahin: Probably my technocratic viewpoint of life.
[00:37] RandomMan: :) good for you
[00:37] Hvsahin: =)
[00:38] RandomMan: if you dont mind me asking specifically, could you tell me your day of birth within that month?
[00:38] Hvsahin: 14th =)
[00:38] Hvsahin: Valentine's Day
[00:38] Hvsahin: too bad I'm not catholic haha.
[00:39] Hvsahin: Wait... the 14th is a fish, right?
[00:39] RandomMan: heh, 11th, 12, and 14th... interesting patterns going on :)
[00:39] Hvsahin: =)
[00:39] RandomMan: yes, it most certainly is
[00:39] RandomMan: then again(part of my thesis) is noticing how you can find a pattern in almost anything
[00:39] RandomMan: I think horoscopes are silly :)
[00:39] Hvsahin: Ditto
[00:40] RandomMan: final and last question. whats your age? you dont have to answer if you dont feel comfortable, answers such as young, 30's, and other generalizations are just fine :)
[00:41] Hvsahin: Young
[00:41] Hvsahin: =)
[00:42] Hvsahin: As if you couldn't tell from all the smiley faces, haha.
[00:42] RandomMan: okie :)
[00:42] Hvsahin: Could you link me to my directory now?
[00:42] Hvsahin: I want to see what information I have on the web made public -_-
[00:43] RandomMan: thanks for your time :-)
as a matter of technicality, do you grant me express permission to use the data in a way in which it is no way connected to your AIM name or any other identifying feature for the purpose of making data generalizations?
[00:43] Hvsahin: Please don't, I'm paranoid about these sorts of things.
[00:43] RandomMan: k :)
[00:44] RandomMan: i accessed the site too long ago to recall, sorry about that.
[00:44] RandomMan: i have it written down at the school though
[00:44] RandomMan: i could make a note to get back to you with it :)
[00:45] Hvsahin: No problem.
[00:46] Hvsahin: Are you into computer games?
[00:47] RandomMan: arent all college guys? :)
[00:47] Hvsahin: hear of WoW?
[00:47] RandomMan: heard of it yes
[00:47] RandomMan: ...why do you ask
[00:47] Hvsahin: ...just wondering...
