Heads Up! Possible Virus?

[Guest guest]

Hey all

I thought I would tell you that I've been getting a whole slew of invitation to join a variety of --with some very strange names and always with 4 numbers at the end. So yesterday I copied and pasted one into search---and there is no such group.

 

It is quite possible --had I clicked on the join link that that would have been a virus.

Here's an example flkanbivalvian8165 (at) . This morning I had about 5 different ones in my mailbox. I doubt if any of you would be inclined to join any such groups--but I thought I would send this out as a warning.

 

I would suggest if you ever get an invitation from a that you put it into search first and if it's valid and you want to join go through that route.

 

Cheers

Thank you, Bea, for the "heads up". I got 5 or 6 of these in my e-mail today also. I deleted them because of the strange names and I don't have time for a lot of groups. Ann K.<^..^>--- On Tue, 4/14/09, Bea Bernhausen <beabernhausen wrote:
