Just thought I'd better let all my Muddy mates know its doing the rounds!!

waiting in intrest :?

Had to edit it because the bogus link was actually active when I posted initially :oops:

Should have left a none active link to the bogus site up so we could all bombard the bogus site with bogus information, I normally go onto the site and put lots of nasty words in the boxes and send it. :twisted:
Well, it makes me feel better anyway. :D
It does need to be a none active URL for the bogus site cos if you click on it within Mud Club then it registers on their server where you have linked from. But if you copy the link into a new window and go on from there then it's fine. :wink:
Oh, and I would also send the email to PayPal so they can get the site shut down. :wink:

O.K. Budgie

Um.. chaps.
Clicking on a URL that you know to be from an untrustworthy source is, at best, hazardous !!
You have no way of knowing what trojans and other nasties might be lurking there... my advice... delete the email immediately and DON'T go clicking the links out of curiosity !

already had it ,informed paypal

Pay pal will always tell you, DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINK, if you need to open the link do it from a new browser window. Remember cookies are collected immediately you open the link. the best way to handle these emails is to send the email to spoof@paypal.co.uk. They have a mechanism in place to chase the scum and report them to their isps.
