(BEWARE) PM SPAMMER ON THE LOOSE

Post by B!ink » Mon May 18, 2009 9:51 pm

Today I received a PM message from someone who registered to the forum not to long ago under the name "acklianer". Curious, I went to check my inbox to see what this person sent me. The subject read "important to read" or close to it. In it was a hyperlink similar to the subject name leading to M*E*G*L.R*U. As cautious as I am about people sending me links that I'm not familiar with, yield me to do a little research. Sure enough, the link posted in my PM was possibly linking to a malicious website that MAY compromise your computer. This isn't the first forum that has been hit judging from my research. This user has been permanently removed.

If anyone receives a PM similar to the one mentioned above, delete it right away.

Be smart, don't open any links you're not familiar with, make sure you're running the latest Anti-Spyware/Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware software on your computer and be careful what information you give out.

This is the first PM spam I ever received.
