[SixClub] tHAT SPAM

[KB0NLY]

It's not a virus, its a common problem with these social networking 
websites, i run into this stuff all the time when someone calls me thinking 
they have a virus.  What a lot of them do is when you signup they ask to 
upload your address book from outlook or from you instant messengers that 
you have, then it spams the heck out of everyone in the address book or 
friends list.

There was one a while back, i forget the sites name, that would ask you to 
upload the address book and then it would spam them with requests to add and 
join, and if you didn't it would start spamming you with other stuff and 
there would be a note at the bottom of the emails saying you need to login 
to select your preferences not to receive any future emails, again forcing 
you to join.

Whenever i see stuff like that i just add it to the spam filter. 
Unfortunately when it goes through an email reflector it sometimes still 
makes it through the filter because its a forwarded email.

Scott

I WENT TO THE SITE TO SEE IF I CAN GET IT TO STOP SENDING THOSE NOTICES 
PLEASE BARE WITH ME i AM WORKING ON GETTING IT STOPPED THERE WAS A 
UNSUBCRIBE SITE SO HOPEFULLY IT WILL STOP SENDING NOTCES TO ALL THE 
GROUPS.SORRY FOR THE INCONVENCES AND HOPE IT STOPS.

I WROTE TO MY NEPHEW ON IT WHO SENT THE EMAIL AND TOLD HIM NOT TO DO THAT 
AGAIN AND GET AWAY FROM THOSE SITES AS IT HIJACKS EMAILS CONTACTS.
