Spammed!

Post by Okuni »

And I'm not talking about the luncheon meat either. >_<

Today I received what seemed like feedback for my RS gallery, but the return e-mail was gibberish and the message contained was more gibberish within an html code and link.

I received two of them.
...-_-; and, um, i clicked one of those links.


Could someone please tell me what the hockeysticks it might be? It's kinda creepy when spambots get into something you treasure!
Is this a new common problem with Slug or am I being paranoid?

(I'm sorry if there was another post like this somewhere- couldn't find it)

Where did the link take you? I wonder if it may have been a foreign person trying to contact you. Sometimes I receive japanese or chinese spam mails that look like gibberish. :^^:

I got the same thing yesterday. Two links sent by RS feedback. They both went to an AOL search page with results for InuYasha. Weird...

Well it has to be a person and not a spambot since there is the random addition prompt for feedback.

Most likely someone attempting to see if you want to buy their stuff, just delete it.

I got two of these messages as well. That's pretty crazy if it's an actual person and not a spam bot- it sounds like a lot of people got them, and it must have taken forever for the spammer to do... how do spammers justify their stupid actions? :evil:

Yup, I got one as well. I didn't click on the links though, too paranoid about links in obvious spam mailings.
