• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I still can't fathom why people click on links in messages.

Seems there is a Trojan that once installed causes the computer to mine for bit coins. The bug is being transmitted by Skype and to get it you have to click on the link in a message sent to you. The subject line is "this my favourite picture of you".

I never click links to websites sent to me by people I know. I would never think of doing that from someone I do not know.

Why are there still people out there who fall for this stuff? :isadizzy:

Yes and someone is using Facebook friends lists to run scams as well. Got an email that was supposedly from one of my three Facebook friends, could tell right off it was written by none of them by the way it was worded and the email address it was from.The email wanted me to click on this link that they were sure I was going to love. Needless to say I didn't click the link so I don't know what the scam was but word to the wise to those Facebookers be on the look out. If someone sends you a link using one of your friends names but from a strange email just trash that sucker. Beats spending a week trying to remove some Trojan or spyware.
