Hi-5 Email Warning - (Spam)

PostAuthor: Bump » April 25, 2008, 7:45 am

Got an email yesterday from a friend asking me to join him on the site. Or at least thats what I thought. This morning I'm geting mail from friends declining to join it. I never sent a request apparently it sizes your e-mail list and sends out invitations to join in yuor name.

So if any of you got it My aplogies was not my intent, Sen out e-mail notofications as well. Hope it was in time

a got one of those, didn't sign up tho, i don't open any mail i'm not exactly sure i know who it came from. don't think it came from you, unless last name is fisher, though the rest of the email address rings a bell.

Thanks for the heads up. I saw it earlier this morning but I didn't have time to mess with. I was going to wait until later, glad I logged on here first.

I didn't open it either and was going to send you a separate email or PM to ask about it, Bump. Thanks for sending the followup email. Hope your antivirus program caught this one.

There are a few of those social networking bollo(ks sites... One is for movie fans (supposedly). If you sign up it asks for your email and email password so they have access to your address book. Better off getting them filtered into spam.
