Not sure where to post this and I guess this crap is what you call spam!
I got an email from Joshua Dabney. With a subject line nur.atalay.lojp. It is spam about working at home.
Not blaming Joshua at all. I know Joshua and he didn't do it! He and I started making knives about the same time and we have a mentor that we both know. However Joshua is not in my contacts list on my PC.
Someone has hacked into one of the knife sites that I am a member of! And is using it too send out spam. I remember seeing his name recently on one of the post I had made on one of the knife sites and also remember clicking on his name and went to his site to look at some of his most recent works.
This person who is doing the spam may be using malware or something to link up the names. Somehow they knew enough to know that I would open the email mostly because it was from a fellow knife maker. They may be using the friends list to get the emails as Joshua and I are friends on at least one site maybe more.
Anyway I have run virus scans as well as malware scans and can't find a virus or malware on my PC. That doesn't mean it's not there, these creeps are getting smarter all the time. I wanted everyone to be aware of what is happening so maybe the powers to be on the sites can do something to stop this!
If it has happened once it will probably be happening thousands of times. So if you get email from someone that you are friends with on one of the knife sites......................well you have just been spammed. I don't even know if Knife Dogs.com can do anything to stop it I am not even sure this is where it started. However it is connected to one of the knife site and I thought everyone should be aware of it. Hell they may be sending spam to everyone on my friends list right now, in my name and I don't know what to do to stop it!!! Anyone got any advice how to protect yourself on your own PC?
