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.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

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

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Yes Bob I had an Email yesterday and wonder what it was about, all seems clear now

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

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

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

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

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

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:(

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Sorry, take your point, but no one's forced to click on it are they? :nono8: :bingobang

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Ah! Now I understand what that email I supposedly got from you is!

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

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

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

No need to put in on then susie

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

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:

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

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

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

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?
:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Sorry was writing while you were posting.
:o

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Sorry Less, and everyone, I really didn't think, what more can I say?

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.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

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

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

They'll be along shortly, then they'll remove the link and shove this into 'anything goes', it could go into competition with the alcohol/canal thread for silly posts.
:D

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Just get over to accy on Saturday and pay round in the Railway then all your sins will be forgiven:D:D:D

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Wish I could John, there's nothing I'd like more. Sadly travelling is not an option at the moment, too painful to sit in the car for any length of time. It'll just have to be virtual drinks all round.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Think I'd better hotfoot it back to the canal thread while people are still talking to me.:(

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Sorry Jay, the offence is a two rounder, swearing at Mick is the only sin minor enough to be a one round fine.
:thepint:

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

I'd better start saving for when I do come!

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Theres an app being advertised by one of the banks, you could use it to text the money straight into the Railways cash register!

:alright:

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Just PM Less he'll give you his address then just send the money simples:D

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Looks like we're on the same wavelength Less:D

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

No don't do that, it starts a paper trail that could lead the taxman straight to me, I only deal in cash.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Silly posts............. its all true, all photographic evidence has been provided, it will be to late when you are sucked up to a spaceship. Please insert your innuendos here...........

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

change your password.?

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

I've just received another spam email from Uncle Bob. I haven't opened the attachment, but this one looks like it's from Italy.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

I have received this second one too.
I use gmail and have 'reported it as spam'.
He needs to set up a new email address, if he hasn't already.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Just had the second one, appears to come from Russia.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Ive had a mechanic here tonight. Cleaned my machione. Trouble is - it's already been into my address book and has possession of addresses. A rule seems to bne - if the subject header is one you would associate with me, then OK to open it. If not - don't.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Both the ones I had had no subject header.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Bob - anything you send me now will automatically be sent to my spam folder without being seen, so use PM on here when the need arises.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Had one from you today, it had a daft heading so I deleted it.
Now going to do a virus check.
If you do need to contact me do it through Accy Web.
Retlaw.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

I appreciate these messages about PMs. I susperct that my probolems arose from me opening an email from a mate in all innocence, only to find it was inviting me to open a sales link. One such came from somneone who told me he had changed his address some moinths before but the spammers were using his old one. Once they've got your address book, they've got it for ever.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Bob, one of my lads suffered the same problem a couple of months ago, he was using Yahoo mail. Similar sales speil about a woman that lived in Haslingden - she didn't exist. The problem has now been solved so I will ask him what procedures he had to take,

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Ya I got one too, no subject deleted immediately

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Usually you have to run the attachment. Just getting the email and opening it wont effect your computer.

Have you changed your email password?
Move on to another email. If you are not using Gmail already, give it a try. Its the best IMO

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Bob, Yahoo told my lad to change his PW - he did and there have been no further spoof emails rceived from him - got 4 from you yesterday, deleted all without opening, hope there was nothing genuine from you.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

Got another from you today, Bob.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

I too realised it was spam, and deleted it, without it being opened, but thanks for the warning.

Hope you're soon victorious against the Belgian foe.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

I appreciate your advice. The matter is in the hands of my mechanic. A piece of preventive medicine that I ought to have had in place is to insert the name Aaaaa Aaaaa into your address box, with the address of [email protected] The burglar starts at the first address in your box and thus collects one which is not recognisable, and doesn';t proceed further. At leassdt that's the thought. I am not sure that anything is gopibng to be successfulk, as not long ago I received one from a pal which gave one addres . I phoned him and he said he had changed from that to another, such as aol, but the messages were still going out.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

I'm still getting them Bob. Is it going to all your AGSOB contacts?

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

To EVERYONE in my address book.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

I bet you're getting fed up of people telling you they have received more spam emails, so I won't tell you I received another one today.

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

No neither will I Michael:rolleyes:

Re: I am sending SPAM
 

do you use a program like outlook to send emails?
