I am sending SPAM

My address box has been atacked and someone using my address is sending to my contacts asking them to link to a (Belgian) sales organisation. I am seeking help.

Yes, I got a message from you last night, or purporting to be from you. I deleted it. Hope you sort the problem.

I made the mistake of opening the attachment. I hope my account isn't affected.

Ya so did mine Micheal, I've run a virus scan since, but when you see an Email in your inbox from seemingly some one you know, you don't give it a thought that it could be iffy

People Please, think about it, isn't it just a little bit silly to put a live link on site to a spam site?

I'll report the posts so that the links can be removed.
:o:(

I was thinking the same thing too. We don't need proof that a link came from Brazil, Belgium or wherever.

There are stupid and curious people the world over, which catagory do you fit in to?

You are talking about spam, but then think it is the other persons fault because YOU are irresponsible enough to put a link to an iffy site for them to click on, then more or less say it's their fault if they do click on it?

Talk about ducking one's responsibilities!

We all should be responsible enough to keep the site (AccyWeb) safe for even the most stupid to be able to come onto, that means no iffy links for any reason.

:eek:

And I've just realised that I quoted Sue's post with the link. Post 6. Silly boy! Apologies for that.

Yes, but you still copied it in your quote, so it's had two free inserts on the site, why don't we put a permanent link on the home page as well?

Please don't spank me any more, it really does hurt! :dummy:

I am actually curious to know why that link came from Brazil when Bob and others say theirs came from Belgium. You know me, I'm a scientist, can't help wondering about these things.

It's still my fault for which I'm sorry. Where are the mods when you need them?
