Junk mail from within the forum?

[Disco Steve]

havent opened it. sounds weird though

[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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?
