A Phishing Message

[traym]

I've not posted in a long time (as we no longer have a galaxy) but I received a PM that appeared to be phishing trying infect me kind of thing.

Thought I'd warn you!

Same here who is bricky? 0 posts Just changed my password after coming back to site from bookmark rather than the link. Just running full AV scan.

hi,me to i have had the same message,please be care full i am getting a lot of junk mail as well in my hotmail .

[burundi]

Same here.

 

Don't click the link in the PM it is an infected web site.

 

This has been quite common on various forums as of late.

[Sheepdog]

Well AV scan clear.

Think about your password people.

Logging in from link in email, who ever could have your user and password. User not a problem, But if they have your password can get to any personal details held on site, Plus make false posts under your name. all sorts of things.

Always use your book mark to get to site.

Same thing happened to me, it's been forever since I last came here.

My profile doesn't have my email addy so how could a user on here get that information?

 

If you look how many times I have posted on here this will show it's the first time.

Maybe this forum isn't very secure :D

i had it aswell,i just deleted it,

i will pm admin and let them know.

Don't click links from people you don't know. Simples :D

[mumof4]

member is deleted. As i dont have access to PMs sent, i cannot delete all the pms he sent.

 

The forum is as secure as any forum can be. There are spammers getting through on a few of the other forums i am a member of so we are not unique on here.

 

Sorry about all the bother folks.

Yeah we've been getting a few spammers on another forum I'm on. Though they're usually deleted within 10mins as there is always a mod on scene lol

 

What about enforcing a minimum of 10 posts before a member can PM others? That stopped PM spam from these idjiots, now there is just post spam (usually nekkid woman so we don't complain too much :D )

(usually nekkid woman so we don't complain too much :D )

 

Damn.......missed that one.... :)

[Jayton]

Oh it's on another forum, must be the same spammers as the post makes no sense but either has links to said nekkidness or is a NSFW post :) Not that my boss would care, he'd ask for the pics if he saw them :D

I have had the same thing via PM. Antivir is a virus type thing as my computer was hit with it last week. It is very clever and tries to mimic windows security. It even has a windows type emblem in the top right hand corner. If you click 'fix' or any other similar button it will infect your computer and is very difficult to remove as it shuts down your internet and computer security. Be warned!

I have had this message too. Found it today well just now. I have deleted it. ;)
