Hi Subscribers,
This message is not for PHP/MySql help in anyway but is posted due to the
high level of spam on this lately and some new people to the internet may not
be aware of the possible risks people can get into if they follow any of the
spam emails on here.
If the topic is not related to a list but was sent via the list do not
respond to it, either in-directly via this list or the list your on or direct
to the reply-to email. But if your the curious person and want to visit a
website listed please do not just simply click the link that is displayed in
the email. Copy/Paste it into your web browser and surf it. NEVER click a
website link directly from a email, even if you trust the sender, it's so easy
to send fake emails that may appear to be from REAL PEOPLE but their not! Get
into the habbit of copy/pasting it. It's a good habbit.
Never send money to people you DON'T KNOW! Never trust an email from someone
that you don't know asking to send and or deposit money into a bank account or
paypal account. Normally it's a scam and the money is just going to the
scammer.
PayPal emails, please update your account info etc. Never trust emails with
an paypal address. Never click it, copy/paste it or simply visit
http://www.paypal.com/ and login to your account, if their is a problem with it
they will list it as you login.
The spam recently on here is really stupid, if the admin of this list is
about why not think about changing the permissions of list signups to need to
be approved by admin before actually being subscribed instead of them only
having to verify by a web address in an email. Would slow the spam down heaps,
has elsewhere and would be worth considering.
Anyways be careful people, most of you would be aware of the issues
surrounding spam but this posting was to make sure that everyone is aware of it
happening. Of course this email would not cover the whole info but is a
starting point for you.
Take care all and be careful.
Jerry
