Obviously on Linux I could happily click it in no fear, it was a spam link but I found it interesting or a weird co-incidence that it 'linked' me and "rindy" which is how I usually refer to Garinda on accyweb.

So, this is a little more than your usual " Bank email" etc, this is either a real random co-incidence or someone tracking references from Accyweb onto IM.

Be careful!
I've only just seen this thread thanks to Neil, as I'm so un-techie I don't normally look in here.

Last Friday I received a messag eon MSN from someoe known to me. It said 'check out my photos from New Year's Eve. To see the photos you had to re-enter your name and MSN password, which because I was stil half asleep l foolishly did.

I never open mail from people I don't know, but was taken in by this because it appeared to be from someone I know and trust, and seemed fairly plausible...well it did whilst I was still so dozy.

Beware, and I apologise to people who thought I'd got a job peddling porn.
