Re: WARNING 'Twitter" Virus

Yeah, I got it too... but as it is with all junk mail *delete*

There must be some very gullible people out there who keep falling for this crap. If there were no more people ever opening this garbage, then creepy people would stop sending it.

I've had the same email address since 1986. I'm not going to change something so iconic in my life because of some spam. Norton kills it all, what I don't delete anyhow.

Re: WARNING 'Twitter" Virus

I was just alerted this morning that some chic was "following" me on Twitter... and I checked her profile, and she has a Tiny URL link to another site. Seriously?! Can we not say "a virus"???

It's really stupid, and I'm probably going to just go ahead and rid myself of Twitter, since I don't hardly use it anyway.
I have Facebook, and that's all I need (and without the virus attempts)

Re: WARNING 'Twitter" Virus

I don't know why they have not just come up with a "return to sender" option for emails. I wonder how quickly all these spammers inboxes would fill up then? I might even return the same email several times HEHEHE :sign10:

There used to be a website called Bluefrog.com, and they provided that exact services for free. My spam stopped completely after I signed up with them! They apparently spammed those servers back, shutting them down all the time. But then I saw them in the news about a month or so later, saying that hackers from all over the world put them in their sights and crashed their servers. They threatened that there would be a HUGE online battle if they didn't shut down their services... so BlueFrog caved, and the spam came back online, and in full force! I hate those spammers! >:(

Re: WARNING 'Twitter" Virus

What's Twitter?

Guess I'm gettin' old.
Still have a rotary dial phone and regularly use the post office since the Wells Fargo wagon doesn't come around anymore.

My Spam Filter Through Comcast
has a 99.99999% success rate.

it all goes into a spam box i can check whenever.

no annoying you got mail type notices for a spam message

but for some reason these virus attempts
come right through to my regular mail.

maybe because they come through an
infected home computers (Stolen) email list.

I'v gotten 5 from Hallmark
one from Twitter (All from Maine)

& One Nigerian Scam in the last month.

those are the Only ones that I Remember getting through
since I set up My spam account a few years ago
