Warning about spam

Post by Frank Murch »

Hi

Please know that people unrelated to this site are representing themselves as me - this is a fraud. The following is a text that is 100% bogus

Dear user of collectingsnapon.com,

We have found that your account has been used to send a huge amount of unsolicited commercial email during this week.
Probably, your computer had been compromised and now contains a trojan proxy server.

Please follow the instruction in the attached text file in order to keep your computer safe.

Have a nice day,
The collectingsnapon.com team.

These idiots just never stop.

To me the giveaway is the signature - The collectingsnapon.com team. You would never sign off a message that way.

But it is a wake up call they will or are trying the same scam at other places.
