fan mail from some flounder ?

I got the same email…Mike ?

Herb

or maybe Roy

He must be dealing with it – how stupid am I to have answered that e-mail and do I need to notify my ISP?

ahhh

I love the world of drive-bys

if he got spoofed then everyone just got drafted into the zombie-bot army to be used at a later date for some devious purpose.

Maybe the chinese, eastern block, or mr bin’s troops are gearing up for the coming inauguration…

welcome to my world

hope you didn’t store any confidential login info on your hard drive somewhere like in a password locked word document or excel spreadsheet.

isn’t living in the cloud a wonderful thing?

three co-workers just lost their home PCs and data because of crimeware. Cost one several hundred to pay some expert to recover his family pictures.

all in all I think it could be valid

I don’t know if I was a barnacle or veteran before hand probably a barnacle

hey janklow

You, johnmellor and I have our own Swaylocks level!

It’s called level “dufus” LOL

We win the prize!

Very soon we should be receiving another email saying

"CONGRATULATIONS! You three are the only GOONS to respond to this email!

You have officially qualified yourself for the grand title of KOOK OF THE YEAR!"

LOL

And there we have it.

At least I not alone. LOL

Several hundred to restore pics from a dead drive? Sheet, I’ve been doing it for free for folks around the office. I think I’ll start charging, you know, howz a poki salad and miso noodle soup sound?

I only checked a few of yours… but do all you guys who got the message have your email address posted in your profiles?

I don’t have mine up, and I did not get the message. Sounds like a crawler bot checking for live emails. Beef up your spam filters, its coming. :stuck_out_tongue:

Don’t start with that.

The thread will get locked.

Aaaaa, you guys are punks. MY message invited me to level 4 and it only cost me $50 to be deducted from my bank when I sent the account info through. Funny though, had no idea Paler had a Nigerian address, but I’m looking forward to those level 4 excitements.
