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! Qarl |

It's probably safe to assume that most people who don't scan regularly for spyware have it in one form or another.
Download Lavasoft Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy, both tools work well. Also make sure you have an antivirus program, MacAfee seems decent. |
