scott is correct, it only gets worse and already
this morning I saw a second email address used.
facts are that these are done by robots. My
contact page on MPB has been "scripted" if you can believe that!
what that means is that some company that sends
spam actually wrote a script to send messages via the MPB messaging system.
the spam looks like this:
feedback : aagyqnpwjfqptufscje/dpn, <a
href="http://ctionline.com/";>Female viagra</a>,
feSvJPT, [url=http://ctionline.com/]Buy viagra
uk[/url], XTLrLfU, http://ctionline.com/ Viagra, wVUIzjq.
submit : Send Message
it's not even useful spam. (if there is such a thing)
if the congress passes bills about spammer, it
doesn't matter because these come from out of the
country (generally Russia) and just can't be stopped
spammers should die a slow death. I've wasted
countless hours during the last 20 years on spam

I would certainly hope everyone is savvy enough
to know not to open a strange link in an e-mail
that has a message totally unrelated to MoPo:
"Single Mom Makes $89,844/Yr in Her Spare Time
on The Computer Without Selling Anything."
I receive these all the time, across multiple
e-mail accounts, and simply delete them. I also
always run good virus and malware protection software (as EVERYONE should).
Not being a computer genius, I don't know how
these particular spam messages get sent. I don't
know if the user's e-mail has somehow been
"stolen" or if it is being spoofed, or if the
spam is actually coming from that person's computer.
In the meantime, I can remove the offending
e-mail account from MoPo to be on the safe side.
But I fear this is going to become worse as time
goes on. EVERYONE needs to be sure to protect
themselves on their end--and certainly be
diligent in not opening suspicious links.
