i recieved an e-mail from a trusted friend yesterday , when i opened it , there were no messages from him , just a list of 6 people that i know and are all in my address list . This morning i recieved a e-mail from another friend virtually saying the same thing happened to him from me , i had e-mailed quite a few people yesterday after the first e-mail was recieved yesterday so are they going to recieve bogus e-mails ? i think that there is every chance that they will, i am getting a bit worried now as to what to do next . Has anyone else had any experience of them . Also i am very very sorry to say , that a lot of 44 members are on my e-mailing list . Any help would be appreciated

Regards , Patricia

Hi Pat!

I received a mail saying that I had a message from you on Badoo - I put you in the SPAM bin!

No hard feelings...

badoo is just another social networking site - just ignore it if you don't want to sign up.

I had a similar e.mail addressed to forum admins and deleted it without opening it. I am too old to fall for such things.

Once my curiosity took the better of me and wrote my password in order to discover who put me on their invisinble list on msn. The next thing I knew all my contacts had an e.mail from me.

oh dear simbas, don't worry about it love...i have had my own email address 'harvested' before now....my friends are all quite forgiving, even finding it amusing...however...some people get really angry and sometimes can even threaten to send you a virus (hence why i changed my email address) but i'm sure this wouldn't happen to you...



anyway Simbas....don't fret.....

Simbas - I'm beginning to feel left out



Try not to worry about it, although I agree, it must be an awful feeling for this to have happened.

Thank you for your kind invitation to join you at "Badoo", Simbas! I could open the message without harm, because the circa 1.000.000 (!!!) pieces of malware for PC's don't work on Apple Macintosh computers - and I run a live anti-virus program that keeps the very few pieces of malware for Mac off my computer. Anyway, if you would like to know more about this s**t "social networking program Badoo": http://www.google.com/search?q=badoo&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

cyprusishome'

Unfortunately, it won't just stop at going 'right round the forum' - it will go to everyone in everyone's address book, and then to everyone in THEIR address books, and so on....

But only IF you open the message and click on the link!

Hey, Pat. Guess what? First time we've been 'hit' in this way. Since receiving that email we've noticed a significant increase of mails in our spam box so all the addresses are obviously doing the rounds. Take 'em all outside to be shot at dawn..... (perpetrators i.e.)
