spaced_out Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 just a few mins ago i got a bad PM with a link. ban the member! SO.
Tymco Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Same here.. Received a pm from a member here with a link(X) inside it..
Tam Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I got it too and stupidly opened it, im doing a full system scan now but it led nowhere so don't open it!
ΩCCΩ Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I opened it too and quickly closed it, did they ban that person yet?
Hubert Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Yes the message was sent to me too. But I didn't open it because nobody sends me important or "real" messages these days.
Tam Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I don't know but my system picked up 36 privacy related cookies, not sure if that was why but I did the scan yesterday...

Guest HBK Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Please just ignore it and delete it. Do not visit any off site links, as they may be inappropriate or contain cookie grabbers that may compromise your Neopets account or even worse.
ΩCCΩ Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 But did you delete that username who was sending us these messages?
Snakeystew Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Unfortunately, due to being half asleep, I also clicked it. I feel stupid right now - *bangs head on desk*.
Ian Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 All of this user's harmful PM's have been removed from our system. In the future, do not click suspicious links, especially those with ".ru" extensions. :)
Mimii Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Isn't .ru just a domain extension for Russian users? Not all of them are bad sites.
Masaryk Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 No, not all Russian sites are bad. There are many good Russian sites. But Russia is known for producing a higher-than-average number of spammers and hackers. That's what happens when there's so many educated and unemployed people living in one place.
Ian Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Yup. I know that all Russian sites aren't evil, but whenever I've received anything from any of them, it's always been spam or hackers. So, as a result, .ru sites are instantly suspicious to me. b) This topic has been edited by a member of staff (Superfly). The original topic had been answered.
