warning about fake E-Mail phising attempt

Post by Smirftsch »

:exclamation
Folks, I got today some silly phising attempt mail of a faked sender with my E-Mail address, although it should be obvious, I am writing some official warning here:
f anyone else got something like this, needless to say that oldunreal.com wouldn't ask for any account or password data.
Anyway, the real E-Mail sender was: with the address ojunktion@cp.turtleback.hk and it tries to trick you to "newbookspublishers.com/modules/blocknewsletter/views/templates/hook/***" (I removed some letters to avoid someone being able to push this link from here).

Don't click anything there but remove this E-Mail immediately. If you really have the urgent need to lose some money, use the donate button to the left :D

I'm a little fuzzy on what the benefits of 'industrial strength' is versus normal. At my age that sounds....dangerous.

I'll take two.

Industrial strength means your crane works so well it can then be used to lift heavy cargo off ships.
It makes bicycle riding a hassle though.
You must construct additional pylons.

You don't need a bicycle if your crane is already there.
