Given that there is more than 1 person who registered only recently and still got the mail.

I say that because their details wouldnt be in that old forum would they?

Actually I think I was registered on the old forum too, just never posted. I only found this forum when I went to the old ntlhellworld.co.uk address, and read the article that the original owner had sold out to ntl, and some of the regulars had set up a new forum, seperate from ntl, that's how I found this new forum.

I used to get that, reinstalling Jave after removing all VMs should fix it. HTH

Done! However I'm wondering if anyone else from CF has been getting this email?and for the same reasons?

**Paul** · 14-02-2005, 16:50

I have received various ebay scam e-mails, to multiple addresses, in the last three days, none of them connected to CF in any way.

Yep, sorry I meant the .com address. The .co.uk one points here, that's the address I put in when I found this place.

Dear Friends

I am new to this forum, but could not resist to highlight on this topic.

Yep i also had one of those today, i have been ebay & paypal member for last 4 years, and i get these 'spoof' emails at least once a week.

You can easily find out the link, where it is destined for, simply point mouse cursor on the link and you should see a disguised forwarding link.

The one i had today was forwarding to a website in uk, i have sent it to paypal but no response yet.

My recommendation is never click on the link, some of these sites have dangerous scripts which can get into your pc's.

Thanks

Ash
