  • SPAM from stolen account.

    I just received this personal message, guess others did too:
    BobW
    Hi!

    Attention! If you still dont know about wide range of goods for music and other branches cheaper than on eBay. Go to http://hotsale-for-music,net,tf
    Visibly from the account of BobW:
    http://music-electronics-forum.com/users/372/

    checked his account, it's normal enough, but last posts were from 2006 and 2007 .

    Very much doubt he came from exile just to tell us about wonderful prices and opportunities, so it looks like some hacker got in.

    Keep it in mind in case it (the spambot , that is) posts some generic, legit looking question just to grab attention.

    You're not alone.

    Sadly, another "ex-member" added to the ignore list as a result. Funnier still...he was still online when I blocked him.

      Funnier still... He was probably posting to say "Hey! I'm not a bot. I just started a new on line store and decided to start with the members as a tap list."

      Probably not. But it occurred to me anyway.

        Well, maybe he thought we are all suit clad Japanese businessmen, because 90% of what he offers is karaoke equipment, just what the Doctor ordered for a bunch of grumpy greybeard Techs and Blues loving players

        But I wonder why would he offer *us* stuff such as:

        Lovely Cat Flower Stud Earring For Girls 18K Rose Gold Plate Austrian Crystals Kitten Earings With SWA Elements ER0109-A

            Good point. For me it is Hello Kitty or no cat at all!

                    So now seems to be a good time to upgrade your password Bob.

                      1234 works for me. Much harder to hack than my old one, 0000.

What boils my cabbage is when I can't remember my password so I enter my email address to get a reminder or have it reset only to get an error message saying that they have no record of that address. "Okay- I guess I never registered here. I better do that right now." So I type in my email address only to get another error message telling me that the email address is already in use, Arghhh!
