You may recieve emails from friends asking if you wish to join Tubley.com.

It comes across as a dating site, but is in fact a phishing scam.



Do NOT under any circumstances download the executables it provides or setup an account.



If you have already setup an account, delete it and change your hotmail password straight away.

If you've installed the executables make sure you can access security sites and if so scan your system.

If you can't, then you'll need to take the usual measures you would when infected with a virus.



Sorry I don't have more info/links at the moment

Just one of many reports regarding tubely here:

I cannot understand anyone who happily gives out not only their email address, but the password to their email account to ANYWHERE!

Some more info...



This is a scam dating-site designed to lure people into submitting their email-address PLUS password

in order to spam EVERY address in the contact-list of that account.



You also should be aware that such sites have no problem selling your address to criminal spammers,

so don't be surprised to see an increase of spam for fake pils and -watches.
