forum spam?
Posted: Thu May 07, 2009 5:52 am
Just thought I should bring this to someones attention as it's not cool for ppl to be using legitimate forums for spam/advertising etc...
I got an e-mail today saying I had gotten a new private message about forum administration:

Hello locojob,
You have received a new private message from "profilicus" to your account
on "Warcraft 3 MODs" with the following subject:
Forum administration
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I then opened my message and this is what I get:

That link in there sending me to http ://megl.ru/
I thought I should post something calling attention to this because to the unwary it does look like something that should be clicked on. I mean it's about "Forum Administration" and then it's "Important to read!" Pretty clear what's goin on here, but I thought ppl should be made aware of that this is going on here so no one gets caught with a virus or spyware or whatever they're loading from there.

PS put the space after the 'http' so no one would go there by accident lol
