dcdeb Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hi All! Just a word of warning -- if you receive an odd PM (private message) with the title "Important message from the forum administration!" or something similar, be aware that it is NOT for real. We've been alerted that someone has been sending these messages, but they are just another form of spam and you should just ignore them. The messages may come from a user called "JoshuaEvanss" and they may read something like the following: Dear (XXXX)! Spam sending from your computer was detected. We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately: http:// anti-trojans.webcind ario .com/online-scanner/ If you do not pass this test* we will have to delete your account and forward a complaint to your ISP with attached log file (your IP address, etc.). ---------------------------------------------------- Forum Administration www.mikafanclub.com As I said, just notify one of us on the MFC Mod/Admin Team of thesender's name and disregard the message. If you have any questions, let one of us know! Thanks!

Quietscheente Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I got that PM a few weeks ago and was slightly confused. But then I saw that it came from a "member" who just had registrated and had no posts . I sent it to Freddie and deleted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 I had to completely delete that particular user, so hopefully that's the end of it for now -- but if anyone gets anything like that in the future, please bring it to a moderator's attention right away, thanks!
