Spam scam alert

On April 8, 2006 · 19 Comments · In The Ingterneck

chowcheebyespamPlease do not open any email titled ‘Check it out’ from me or your any of your acquain­tances. It’s a spam scam, and this is how it works:

The body con­tains the text: “Sign up so we can play http://followhere01.com/go.asp?id=1&sourceid=&friend=SomeName”.

And any stu­pid idiots that receive that email (and I am your king) will click on that link, enter their email account details for one or more of the fol­low­ing ser­vices — Hot­mail, Yahoo, Gmail and AOL. And yes, your majesty here entered his pass­word for his Gmail account, and hey, presto, every sin­gle con­tact on his Gmail account got spammed the same spam, and if you were none the wiser, you’d have opened it, think­ing that bloody Miyagi always sends non­sense so I bet­ter open it or else he’ll be mad.

So, I tell you now, don’t open ah!

    Yup, got your email alright.

    Since that stu­pid Miyagi sel­dom email me, this must be some­thing worth look­ing at, right? So I clicked the link.

    Nope, didn’t enter my pass­word (my bull­shit radar went off).
    They may as well ask for my ATM pin.

    I pre­sume that you’ve changed the pass­words to all the accounts that you’ve entered into that form?

    Because you said don’t open it, some of your read­ers will do just the oppo­site thing.
