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

Never run with scissors!

There was a message from Rasmus recently which indicated that there had been
a problem with the spam filter - problem had been resolved.
