sonicsfan

Like these title's of emails-
Fw: Itentiary
Fw: For CU
Fw: Cards for Tradelist
Fw: Something romantic for ur friends

etc

I got like 8, from TR, CU, and msn messenger members

Right here man. It sucks!! I have a whole list of em' now! But I don't think they are from a certain member/members. Cause when you try to reply to the email,it gives you the ERROR message or the email gets sent back to you unreceived. I wish I knew how to stop them!!

I've also got tons of them.

sonicsfan

but I wonder why they are just going to card trading members

I think I tried to open the first one, title of email was: Fw: Cards for Tradelist

And ever since then, after I am connected for like 6 minutes, everything goes very slow, and then brings up the error: cannot find server

any1 else expierincing these problems?

Someones just taking email addy's from profiles and using it to send viruses,You guys need to turn your email addy's off in your profile..I had one of these emails forwarded to me to check out..And when I scanned it with Norton it came back containing Backorifice.trojan virus..
