Author	Thread: Warning -- Take Heed
Admin	Warning -- Take Heed Posted : 5 Dec, 2009 02:23 AM There has been several attempts by some party or parties on this site to get my e-mail address. One attempted to download a Trojan Horse and another an Auto-mated E-bot. I detected both before any damage was done. You all need to be wary of anyone asking for your e-mail address. Be very, very, sure of whom you are talking to. These worms and E-bots can steal and relay vital information of your's to anyone or anywhere on the internet. Peace Post Reply
Tarasye View Profile History	Warning -- Take Heed Posted : 5 Dec, 2009 05:41 AM Thank you my Friend, and women take heed to this warning as well for many times such people operate under numerous identities are do not keep them gender specific for their goals and motives are not at all like that of the average member. On another site my identity was once stolen and when I was finally able to convince the site I was the victim of foul play on the site, they restored my identity. When I was able to access my profile again, I was 15 years younger, I'd dropped close to a hundred pounds, lost four inches in height, and was now a cute little black gal with a new profession that described myself as "a nice looking black man". So remember, a person can claim to be anyone they want to be on the internet, especially when they have malicious intent to begin with. Tarasye Post Reply
Tarasye View Profile History	Warning -- Take Heed Posted : 5 Dec, 2009 05:45 AM Please note also, that that site too, was a Christian website. Apparently scammers think that Christians are an easy mark or something, so do be careful, and never give out personal information, and also make sure that your passwords are not the same as your user name or easy to figure out from your profile or forum post.

I've been using Avira free antivirus, Spyware Blaster(runsresident), also Super antispyware (free) need to run manually or can donate $10. for 1 year subscription to get full version, then Malwarebytes (free) program for adware that may slip by Super antispyware. these programs work great, only catch is you need to update manually regularly or pay low cost subscription to setup auto update. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/771528 it's a safe site and again a great I promise... I also suggest reading through the forums there called "Windows virus and Spyware problems" (which is the same page as this link) as it has lots of help from techy guys helping out people with virus problems and you can many times resolve yer own issues or ask for help by posting there. Good luck!...Jim Post Reply

patou View Profile History	Warning -- Take Heed Posted : 6 Dec, 2009 03:59 PM Thanks Archimedes, Tarasye & jjarr ! I was just talking to a friend of mine who also lost her identity.Sadly she couldn't restore it back. One more thing, make sure that you've inform all your friends & relatives about your stolen identity.So that they will not answer back from that scammer. Ida :waving: Post Reply
