coresx Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Just curious if this is a dodgy email or not. Two friends emailed me this and I hope they haven't been suckered into something.

watchthisspace Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I believe it's dodgy as it's not possible to be able to check who's blocked or deleted you. I wouldn't trust it.

coresx Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 First time I've received them. Well, I emailed the two people who seem to have fallen for it and told them to change their password and security question asap.

xplatinum Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 It is dodgy. Some people I know followed the link and had to enter their username/password. Couple weeks later their own account was spamming the same message but from their own account. Please don't fall for it. It propagates enough spam as it is :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/830292-is-this-email-dodgy/#findComment-591663750 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panacik Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I believe it's dodgy as it's not possible to be able to check who's blocked or deleted you. I wouldn't trust it. I got one the other day from a friend. Its an obvious fake. Especially as the friend of mine doesnt type or even speak that good English, so the fact it was better English than she would usually give, was a bit of a give away. I have had around 20 of those, 6 today, I just junk them, not even worth a second look.Here is one I haven't deleted yet. How is Erick now days? :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/830292-is-this-email-dodgy/#findComment-591663786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
