Very true--he's just lucky aLx says he'll fix it.

You should add striptags, if the HTML still works.

After thinking about it for an hour I ended up buying it. A few days later I saw a few new links on the site and realized I was never paid for them. I traced the links back to a member on TFL, his name was Haris. He told me he found an exploit in the script and could add his links without paying. I told him if he showed me how it was done, I would leave his link up there for helping me.

Today I realize the page isn't loading. Someone added an iframe to the script because it's insecure and exploitable. I told Alex on AIM that he should fix it or I want a refund, I would even give him the money that I earned from the site, so he would only have to send me around $90 back.

He told me it's my fault that the script isn't working when I haven't touched anything on it. And when he did realize it was someone hacking it this is what he told me,



So instead of fixing the script, he wants me to ban one person, when there are many others that can do the same harm.

I had to take down the site for now because they were adding iframes and everything from the insecure script making the site show up as nothing.

Do I Qualify for a Refund?
WOW WOW, Cool Down Man!

I wouldn't dare to add you to my MSN and reply you if I had scammed you. I just found out the explot and was going to PM in a day or two but I forget!

I don't know how to get into inner script and i'm not sure who did it!

Sorry for any troubles, Even though, I exploited your script, Exploiters dosen't tell how they exploited but I did.

Regards,
Muhammad Haris

EDIT AND NOTICE TO JAKO , The script can be easily expoitable uptill now!

My thoughts on the refund are :

I personally think that the refund is up to aLx since you should've checked out that the site wasn't vulnerable or exploitable...

He sold what was shown and I'm sure he never said that it was 100% secure.

It really came down to morals.

No, you don't qualify for a refund, however if I was aLx and had a decent bone in my body, then yes I would either:

a) refund you
b) fix it

Reputation can be killed in a moment.
