    I've had a few of these.....anyone else?

  • No. But now I wish I did

  • really?

    crumbs......because when i go to mark it as spam it says "do i want to report LFGSS?"

  • Can you open the headers? Perhaps it isn't the lfgss.com domain at all?

    Open the full headers of the email and paste here...

    thing is....my gmail address is my 'business' address, if you like, the address i only use for 'good' things.

    i dunno how, through the lfgss google group, only i get a dodgy email?!?!

  • quincewestcottpcx@gmail.com

    Here's the culprit. Don't report the lfgss.com domain, as you will loose the PMs from here in your junk bin. Anyway, the above account probably was hacked as well (some kinda worm)...

  • As I'm a hardware guy and don't know much about the rest, you should report it to the admin. Perhaps there's some kind of [strike]voulnerability /strike which can explore members email addresses?

  • The forum is pretty well protected, no email addresses are ever exposed. The whole reason why you have to come back on here to reply to a PM rather than just hit reply is because of how well things are protected.

    However, nothing stops someone else from spoofing our domain in spam. Email isn't a verifiable thing, unless you read the headers you can't definitely say where it came from. And that's what appears to have happened here, someone has spoofed our domain in the headers.

    It might actually be you that someone has a virus. Viruses do well with stuff like this, reading the address book and using the names and domains of emails in the address book to send spam from/to. This way it all looks more authentic.

    Don't blame us though :)

  • oh no, i dont blame you....it was just weird that it had lfgss in it.

    no worries, i'll just ignore it........i guess it better than being asked if i want bigger tits or a bigger penis!

  • It's all those Windozze people who are polluting our blood with viruses and worms :-)
