Virus warnings in PMs

Anoree · 01-29-2010, 05:14 PM

Yep, that's a scam. I've also received a message like that lately, though not from StopAdmin. My sender, MannInBlackk, got banned. It seems they get a little better in blending in.

It's like everywhere else on the internet: Don't follow every link unknown users send to you. The "effectmeds" in the address should suffice to avoid the link. There are other hints to me, but I don't want to teach the scammers.

It's sad that we've got to start being careful what links we click on here, too.

I got about 2 of them myself. Thankfully I have a mac, so I don't get viruses. It is a blatant scam.

The writer of those PM's has been banned.

Anybody that gets an Admin PM from a member that does not have an Admin status title should report the message to me or laranger. The ONLY Admins on this message board are me, laranger, FTVGirls Rob, Danielle, Lagwagon and Anoree. All other people claiming to be Admins are frauds.
