Junk mail from within the forum?

[spudboy]

I just got this as a PM from someone on the forum. It had Ace's name at the top too but don't reckon it's from him:

Hey there.
Sorry to msg you out of the blue. Here's the thing.

I wrote a book together with a friend. My boyfriend keeps saying it's ****. I think he's just jealous tho.

He's a big time poster here so I told him I'm going to pick a random guy and ask him, and we ended up betting on it.
Thanks.


What's this about?

[Rocky4.4]

Got the same One mate????

[duff]

me too and mine was from Cal415.

Has anyone been game to open it

[Bulldog]

Threads have been done on the same topic. Everyone got it. They have been deleted from the system. It's not a virus, just a boring book. Enough said (the other thread is locked). :nazilock:

[spudboy]

I opened the page but it seems to be just a story.

My virus checker didn't do anything, so I hope it was safe to open it.

[spudboy]

Sorry for doing a new post when one was already in progress.

I got to the PM before I got to page 3 of the new posts listing.

Should have looked first. :(

Great. Me to.

[googe]

Someone said that everyone got this on #2thread, apparently not :Rolling:

[graceysdad]

I opened it, its a draught for a book, shes after comments, has a bet running with boyfriend as to its viability

[Disco Steve]

havent opened it. sounds weird though:confused:

[Outlaw]

a weird one really... seems to be legit in regards to it being a book but spammed the whole system so we have deleted the user.

I assume maybe there is a virus or something hidden in one of the pages.

[Blknight.aus]

Ive just gotten it in 3 other forums I frequent. It appears to be some kind of new spam bot. Not sure how its doing what its doing Unless its got someone generating new user accounts on a forum for it then letting it loose on the members list in which case IT might even just be a really well written macro.

[graceysdad]

best to delete and not bother opening, I read the first line and thought it was just dribble.

[Disco_owner]

Yep, Got mine to, had Caveman as recipient , I dare say it's Virus infected , so check your Virus scanners for updates and clean your systems out thoroughly.

[HAK]

I got that to from a jenny1 but it had cals details

the funny thing was the story was intresting :eek:

[Bazz67]

I actually started to read it also and it sounded ok to start with but looking at a few other post I am glad I didnt go into it to far if there is probs with in the pages some where. I wouldnt mind reading it still though, any ideas,

I think it is safe to read. I think the PM is a forum software hack rather than a virus.

I went to the website and had a look and checked out their forum and even made the obvious post and it didn't ring any of my security bells.

Cheers

I read some parts of it - it was an OK read as far as I went, even had a sex scene! She should post on writing.com or somewhere.
I'm virus-checking now but so far nothing.
So I assume the originators signed up and then sent the same email to everyone as a private message. This is the first time I've had that on a forum - is it a new tactic?

[Loaded]

Are we there yet, are we there yet. :D

[Rovernaut]

I checked it out... it did not contain any porn

[easo]

Got the same PM, I find it hard enought to keep up with the reading here.

[Ralph1Malph]

Sorry Inc,
Sent you a PM regards this before I read this thread!:D

Well it has nothing to do with me, not sure why it "Appeared" to have come from my account as i certainly didnt send it and as far as i know (looking in my sent PMs) it wasnt sent from my account.

[incisor]

it appeared to come from you because it address it to you and the bcc'ed it to a bucket load of others...

some appeared to come from ace and a couple of others as well...

[Mud_Bogger6]

[Vandermorph]

Mine was from JennyK

[barney]

I got the same one from someone called "jennyk", when i looked on the membership list, there was no one there by that name

[Ace]

yeah i got it aswell, but i know nothing about it. It must have taken her aw a while to send so many of them.

[twitchy]

Her boyfriend was right, it was *****!!:D
