But I used a an account that I don't use that often when I clicked on the answer a friends question link. It did come from someone I with whom I was acquainted, so it appeared legit. For grins I do log in on occasion, just to see how many 20 something hot women want to be my loyal fan. The latest spam scam is these people send out broadcast messages saying they are bored, lonely, horny, whatever, and want to "chat" via YIM. Ok, let's give it a shot. Turns out they want to perform on cam for you. All you have to do is log into some other site, provide your credit card number and you can "see" them perform.

I can't believe that so many people still get scammed these days. The first rule of email security is NEVER click on a link in an email.

I dont remember opening an email with the link that will phish your stuff, but after i googled the name i clicked on the website link. (fanbox.com only) I want to know if this can affect anything in any way? can they still get my password and such even though i didnt click the email link? and also, how do you know youve been ''infected'' with the spam (besides maybe finding out that people in my contact list are getting spammed?) thankyou again! :) thankyou for this site!

I meant to say she signed us up (it was without our permission) with a FANbox (not spambox) email address. That was evidently a Freudian slip demonstrating my scepticism about the whole thing. Hope to still get a response or responses to my question of what to do. Thanks. Irish Sorry for the typo.

Her email referred to "FanBox, the world's first spamfree email." What should I do about this email address? Ignore it? Figure out a way to get rid if it? Go ahead and try it? Help!
