Title: Phishing or Trojan Attack from user "ForumTeam"? This is not Mr. Bogosity!
Post by: Ex_Nihil0 on February 07, 2010, 02:42:36 PM
I got a message from this forum from the user "ForumTeam" saying that a virus was detected on my computer and that I should click a link.  This looks like phishing or trojan attack, so be warned.

The message I got reads as fallows (DO NOT CLICK THE LINK!):

QuoteYou have just been sent a personal message by ForumTeam on The Bogus Forum.

IMPORTANT: Remember, this is just a notification. Please do not reply to this email.

The message they sent you was:

Dear, Ex_Nihil0!

This doesn't look at all legitimate, so I just wanted to warn everybody.  Also, check this out.  The profile says "ForumTeam" was registered today only an hour ago.  This account should be deleted at once.

I was going to say he's back because I got another letter, but it looks like you got'em! 

Thanks!
