Hi Subscribers,
This message is not for PHP/MySql help in anyway but is posted due to the high level of spam on
this lately and some new people to the internet may not be aware of the possible risks people can
get into if they follow any of the spam emails on here.
If the topic is not related to a list but was sent via the list do not respond to it, either
in-directly via this list or the list your on or direct to the reply-to email. But if your the
curious person and want to visit a website listed please do not just simply click the link that is
displayed in the email. Copy/Paste it into your web browser and surf it. NEVER click a website
link directly from a email, even if you trust the sender, it's so easy to send fake emails that
may appear to be from REAL PEOPLE but their not! Get into the habbit of copy/pasting it. It's
a good habbit.
Never send money to people you DON'T KNOW! Never trust an email from someone that you
don't know asking to send and or deposit money into a bank account or paypal account. Normally
it's a scam and the money is just going to the scammer.
PayPal emails, please update your account info etc. Never trust emails with an paypal address.
Never click it, copy/paste it or simply visit http://www.paypal.com/ and login to your account, if their is a
problem with it they will list it as you login.
The spam recently on here is really stupid, if the admin of this list is about why not think about
changing the permissions of list signups to need to be approved by admin before actually being
subscribed instead of them only having to verify by a web address in an email. Would slow the spam
down heaps, has elsewhere and would be worth considering.
Anyways be careful people, most of you would be aware of the issues surrounding spam but this
posting was to make sure that everyone is aware of it happening. Of course this email would not
cover the whole info but is a starting point for you.
Take care all and be careful.
Jerry
