I keep getting emails with a subject that starts,"Hello abigail" and then contains this text: "Sorry about that. My hosting went down I had hosting problems: [LINK] Do you have tons of debts and want to refinance_your home I guaruntee that I can do it fast and easy and your credit score doesn't matter! Please just fill out this form and I'll call you immediately. [LINK] I have more credit programs than the large companies. You will not be dissappointed." This comes from different senders, usually from purported Yahoo or AOL address, with a different ending phrase and name each time, and the links to click are always different. (Plus I have checked headers and these come from different places). So it looks like a worm. But it does NOT have an attachment of any sort, which is why I can't figure out what is going on. Obviously the links are not to sites that have anything to do with this - so this isn't a spammer harvesting names -- and if it lacks an attachment, I don't see how it could be a worm, either. Is anyone else getting this? Any ideas as to what is going on? -Abigail ____ The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:wdvltalk-join@;lists.wdvl.com Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:wdvltalk-join@;lists.wdvl.com Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
