I have just received this message:

Rick.

Thanks for the warning

Can Forum administration do nothing to block these nuisance messengers ?

Bugger, I had the message and clicked the link but panicked and cancelled it before it loaded. Am I safe? Spankandy

Run a deep (Thorough) scan with your anti*****. If you don't have one download a free anti***** (AVG, Avast etc) and do a thorough scan

[spankandy]

Thanks, Ouchie. Scanned with AVG and all clear. Can the real administrator do anything to wipe the messages to members?

I've had a similar message and posted a warning about it. Can I ask the moderators to post warnings like this as a sticky until the culprit is found and dealt with?

By the way I've had other phishing messages outside this site, on from "EBay" the other from "PayPal". Both ask me to click on a link and wearn of dire consequences if I don't. I know these messages are fake because they wer sent to an emial address I have never used for EBay/Paypal orders and payments.

Watch out everybody; they're after your dosh.
