I apologize for creating this thread, but, I got a message from "Ladyrootfix" and the subject of the msg was "ATTENTION: Virus Alert!"


And I don't know if I should open it or not? Should I? Or should I not?

Well, lol, I know it seems a stupid question.. But. Should someone do something about it? If it's a msg containing a virus or something..

I got the same message and the first thing I did was delete it. Whatever it is, its not worth the risk of getting a virus. :P

I've been getting a few of these. It is safe to open and just click cancel for the read receipt. Report the private message and they will be banned.

When I came on, I saw I had 1 private message.

I thought to myself "My private messages are never good, I hope I didn't break a rule"

I look at it and it says "Virus" so I know I'll delete it.

Then I see its from the l4d411 administration

:/

I actually have got about 4 of these type of messages from this site so far, usually the person has Admin in their handle. The only two I remember offhand were AdminGirlx and StopAdmin.

Yes, open it! Open it and click every single link inside of it because you know you don't want to get that scary virus now, do you?

So today I log on and I've been spammed by forumAdmin twice with the same message. Ban. It seems it's the same bot too, different name but same avatar.

I never get any virus PMs... I guess I'm not significant enough to be spam-botted :(
