This screams "malware" to me
I found this email in my mailbox today:
Hello,

Kind regards, Select2gether.
Yeah! Install a toolbar from an unknown source and who knows what you're actually installing."I'm just a little old lady; don't try to dazzle me with jargon!"

I'm fed up with all these things Hazel.
The other day, I received a video (2 actually) from a friend in FB and it seems like it was a porn link. I didn't even dare click it. I know my friend personally and I know that this is the last thing he would like to do. At least in public
.
Anyway, I have heard of such malwares in FB too and perhaps my friend inadvertently installed one on his account and now is sending all this trash online.
If there's just a way to get back to all these freaks! Sorry for the rough language
Hmmppp!
Do have a nice day

I've also received some spam personal messages from Forums accounts. I report them, and never hear from them again, so I think the Forums polices this pretty well. As for FB, I don't do much with it, though I occasionally post on family/friends walls. Too much grunge associated with FB as far as I'm concerned.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!

OMG! It�s fantastic! This scanning system is magic! I have no more
viruses!
Followed of course by a download link. Someone called gulf-trade.org.
This seems to be a new kind of spam. I don't remember receiving emails like this before. I suppose it's what Kevin Mitnick would call social engineering."I'm just a little old lady; don't try to dazzle me with jargon!"

Don't be a looser
lol - that's funny. Sadly people fall for these all the time.
I think we should try and get this part of my sites Ts and Cs enacted into law the world over. Suitably modified for generic spammers of course.
At least spam would become entertaining

My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.
