I have received a couple of e-mails asking me to confirm my Paypal account information for "security reasons". The links are spoofed to non Paypal websites.

The e-mails are addressed to Eastonfund@iepg.com. This is an e-mail that I specifically set up for this club and only advertised on this club.

There are a number of known viruses that scan your e-mail inbox for confirmations sent from Paypal. It sends an e-mail to the other party (in this case to me using the e-mail address I set up as Eastonfund@iepg.com).

So... I received contributions from 100+ people. One or more of you has a virus.

I would recommend to ALL of you to get a good antivirus program and check your system for spyware regularly. Programs like Adaware and Spybot are FREE.

Thanks!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) Karl I just ran Antivir and came up with 11 alerts on BDS/agent.AC was it me?? Sometimes I really hate the internet!! Scratch that, I hate the werthless, pig faced, bags of rat guts that can't go earn a respectable living and screw up our hardwerking lives with their shennanigans. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif) LOSERS. This is the second time recently I have picked up something and the only times I have anivir turnes off are on this board and on E-bay because it drags the speed down so much So I must conclude I'm picking shit up through E-bay cause I KNOW noone here is that werthless right????
