Did anyone else get 1 of those spam emails
« on: January 16, 2007, 07:54:58 am »
I got a email of adult nature this morning from jenney arcade but the strange thing is that i got this twisted email before of a guy called harrison ford and its the exact same 1 .        Has anyone else experienced this and is it a danger to me and my email?

Yes and yes.  :banghead:

Depending upon whether any of the mods were online and browsing at that exact moment in time it's possible almost everyone got one. Assuming you deleted it straight away it's probably only dangerous if you are running an unpatched Outlook version. If you clicked it then it's probably only dangerous if you are running an unpatched Internet Explorer version.  :police:

Of course, if you are using unpatched Outlook or unpatched IE versions, well, you're running that kind of risk anytime you stray from all but the most respectable sites anyway.  :dunno

Yep, I received the same thing. Also received the one from Harrison some time back. Ignored both.
I'm sure our moderators can take care of this.

something fishy going on around here, I'm seeing 3 of the same things....One on B/S?T . I did notice that when you click POST, you get some sort of error. Time to clean glasses  :dizzy:


edit, I click post on this and I got it again

"Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator. "

Anyone else showing that they have a PM leftover because of it?  I never bothered looking until long afterwards, and it says I have a PM still left, which I don't.

I'm now showing "Hey, Malacus, you have 1 message, 0 are new" with nothing in the inbox also.

I also got one from harrison ford a while back, unfortunately it was NOT an invitation to be in Star Wars 7.
