user 'litecore' sent private messages to different users. the message content is:

litecore wrote:If you are the proud owner of a license for TVPaint Animation (standard or pro) you can win a free license of ToolBox, a great plugin for TVPaint and Mirage.

How to do it? Just go to http://xsystem4.free.fr and follow the instructions.

If you are in the first 20 persons to fill in the form you'll win a free copy of ToolBox for TVPaint! Easy as that!

Good luck everyone!

Mind you, Toolbox is a propriety plugin developed by YoungMonkey. Considering that 'Litecore', as a user in these forums, only joined recently, and posted only one post, is more than likely have no affiliation with YoungMonkey.
In other words, it' looks like a scam. His link is supposed to get you to enter the lock and unlock code for TVPaint. Which means, he'll have all this info, when he actually he has no partnership with TVP.

Avoid this promptly!

haha! very easy to bring his plan to nought :
leave the request fields empty and send it blank,
you'll get this : http://xsystem4.free.fr/process.php
... Better luck next time, litecore!

Zig i don't see exactly how that sabotages litecore's plan?

it seems to me some sort of elaborate scam to get codes. that site looked convincingly enough.
but for what purpose? maybe to create a crack for the new updated version?

no idea if having many codes will help anybody in a workaround for the dongle

i had received this message from litecore some time ago:
(Mon Jun 04, 2007 3:42 pm)
Hello,

As a TVPaint Animation Pro customer, did you receive the update to version 8.5 for free?

Can you send the link to download the 8.5 update (not the demo) please.

Regards

Lisa Deckert
Litecore Animation LTD

i replied:

Hi, i have tvp animation not the pro version. For updates just go to the
main tvpaint page ( www.tvpaint.com) and click "update". Just go from there.
Don't hesitate to post your questions in the forum, that is why it is there.

Seems like someone was trying to get there hands on the official tvp software--- The reason --i dunno, but the plot sure thickens!!!!

suspicious to say the least...

that's my thought too ... few weeks ago, litecore asked me (privately) to "share" my v8.5.exe file,
pretexting he/she wanted to deeply test it to rotoscop a scene, but he/she could not save with the demo version

and in a post-scriptum :"I'm living in U.K. but I'm native from India"
that puzzled me and awakened my suspicions, as India, with Russia and China
are the 3 top first countries for cracking and spreading cracks.

what puzzle me now, is that this site seems to be localized in France ( "envoyer" instead of "Send") ...

This is probably the company:

http://www.litecore.co.uk/

It looks dodgy

Peter Wassink · Post by **Peter Wassink** » 23 Jun 2007, 23:47

dodgy indeed... and no signs of any artistic talent

btw, who can offer 10 (20..?) ToolBox Plugin licences?
... if it's not Dhomas himself, it's inevitably a Pirate.
