I too received that PM. was about to post it here, then saw your thread.
Lucky i didn't click on the link to check it out.

[funkiller]

Yup, I received this massage too. The massage sounds like this :

"Sorry for PMing out of the blue. Here's the thing.

I wrote a book with a friend of mine. My husband keeps saying it sucks. I think he's just jealous tho.

He spends a lot of time on these boards, so I told him I'm going to pick a random person here, and ask them, and we ended up betting on it.

So go to <delete the link> and make the call. Does it suck?

Thanks."

The sender is Erin Pavlina.

But I'm scanning my PC now anyway. :cool:

[simonliu]

hey just a suggestion, maybe a new member needs to hv certain number of posts before they're allowed to PM. At least this would give some sort of indication that they're genuine forumers.

Good suggestion...hmm. But what if a new member came in and wanted to PM a fella who is selling some gears at a good price?

[ckchowov]

Normally ppl pm me asking for my handphone numbers:D So i 100% ignore this suspicious message from Pavlina.:P

[Crazymalaysian]

Both threads merged.

[tedearl]

Btw..how did she manage to PM to so many ppl? :? I thought limit was 5 at a time...

[sE_vIxEn]

getting a virus just by entering a website... whoa, scary. hand itchy go click, but nothing happened. or maybe something did but i'm not aware?!

[leslie]

dudes just avoid the messages and dont open it. :)

[sampoerna]

* i didn't go into the site... scare is virus... :)

Virus scare of you more than you scare of them :run_away:

[Bigcrapshooter]

first thing comes to my mind reading the pm, ah good try, what a new tactic..didnt click it and immediately saw this thread right after :redface:

[chuah406]

read the pm.....clicked the link....read a bit....saw this warning post....scanned pc....no virus la....

[mki88]

Aiyah I ter-press the link before seeing this thread. :0

Scanning for virus now.. :(

[xilepeco]

Actually opened the link, some long story there. AVG didn't pick anything up. Well I'll probably scan through anyway.

If it's anything, it's more likely to be a malware rather then phishing. Didn't see questions about my details.

Well thanks anyway. Very considerate of you :D

[ShaolinTiger]

This person is a known spammers, spamming an e-book.

It's not malware infection.

You can read more here:

zenofeller spam (http://www.google.com.my/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=vFR&q=zenofeller+spam&btnG=Search&meta=)

He signs up using other people's e-mail addresses and names and then spams people via PM (Because you can use PM before your account is activated).

The original owner of the e-mail address he used to sign up e-mailed me.

The user has been deleted and all the PM's they sent have also been removed.

Thanks to all of you who reported this, and thanks to hero for starting this thread to warn other users.
