it's a link to a phishing website. police aware is well clued up on these, they're becoming more and more frequent. there are a load of things you need to do after visiting a site like that, like i said PM police aware and maybe discuss on here what has happened and what to do about it.

didn't notice the DON'T click on the link til i posted my reply!!! luckily got good phishing filter on my laptop, need it too.

Totally agree DELETE the link as some will get caught out.

Think he's off his trolley for now anyway

[mammal2]

Tom, the Dam twas a okay! I smoked far too much, but with the added pleasure of seeing my girlfriend mashed on cake at Anne Franks. I know its wrong! It just hit her a little late. If i dont get a trollies, I am going to start chopping people up. I also didn't put myself inside anything wrong. Though we did watch a booth from a bar for a good 3 hours. 9 guys in three hours!!! Genius!...... So I will either be laughing with joy tomorrow, or on the front cover of the Times the next day! Oi Oi!

One particularly nasty side affect of these scammers is the following.

A wrapper is attached to your ebay account.
You'd never notice unless you actually looked for it - because like most addresses it scrolls off the addres bar !!!

I noticed what i had a few days ago - and thought me && guest wasnt quite correct.

I checked out the whole line to find tell tell control (%) characters in the address after guest - what in effect is a piggy back mechanism.

I use firefox so no passwds are ever tpyed in - however if you have this wrapper and type your passwd - you are compromised.

I've only just checked this one out following the like i saw on laugh now the other day - when i clicked on it - i saw error messages and thought nothing of it - DONT DO THAT - ACT.

clear your cache - and reset your password.

..just a word !! cheers people.

dan you're starting to sound like the viz letters page, f*ckin funny though!!

[gbh]

just read your mails in text rather than html
you'll be able to see the real adress of where links go to in plain sight.
