Warning - User Jessie

[unix256]

Hello,

sorry if this is the wrong section to post, but maybe it is from interest for you.

The user "Jessie" sent me this pn:
Re: Unix

Hey,
What's up?

Jessie
hxxp://jessie.rack111.com

I did not open the link, but as far as i know, is it a) some sort of spam or b) a virus. Maybe someone can ban this user ;)

On google most results say, that it is a virus. Just thought to post this, because maybe some other users are not that experienced with pcs and click on it..

In the original pm there is of course no hxxp, but i am not allowed to post urls.

regards,
unix

[Wheels]

He send me a pm to with the same content.

I didnt click the link either,

Thank you for making the forum aware; it'll be dealt with by the mods!

[danathane]

I received it too!!!
Thanks for sharing the information.

[KaYoS]

I got it this morning, from the subject it looks like it has been some sort of bot sending this.

[MosGuy]

Received the message as well, I agree it's likely an automated bot. Curiosity got to me, I used wget on the link & viewed the source through a shell with no GUI on VMware. There's a script link at the bottom to: rack111.com/fixstats.php. The rest of the page is just links to various other sites, i.e it appears to be typical spam. I also ran the URL through an on-line webpage virus checker. It couldn't connect to the server.

[pureh@te]

Thanks for posting. I am currently checking the link in a text browser and dealing with the user.

EDIT: looks like harmless spam to me however I hate spam more than I hate virus/trojans (At least I can get rid of those). User Jessie has been banned. Once again thanks to the OP for looking out for the welfare of others and the forum. We are only as good as our members.:)

[=Tron=]

Got the PM as well. Thanks for the heads up.

[l1nuxant_ee]

Checked my PMs, and found one message from Jessie.

Thanks for protecting forum member,

[Barry]

I'm feeling left out. I didn't get it. :(

[loftrat]

I didn't get it either. I'm assuming that I can thank the quick thinking, community minded, OP for that, as well as our excellent forum Team for looking after us and dealing with the moron concerned.

Serious thanks to all involved, nice to know we're being taken care of :)

[KaYoS]

I'm feeling left out. I didn't get it. :(

If you like i can forward it to you ;)

[grikster]

Just got the same message right now...why isnt he banned yet?

[balding_parrot]

Just got the same message right now...why isnt he banned yet?I can assure you that Purehate did do as he said, and the user has indeed been banned.

[Dr_GrEeN]

Hehehe I didnt get a mail but let me guess Links to a relegious site :D. It was funny because a couple of friends on another forum had a similar thing from a user called jennene hahha they all thought they'd pulled lol :D

[yawnbox]

i received the message today-- i thought i was being stalked... i received the same message on May 12 to my account at forums.procooling.com. perhaps a vBulletin-specific bot?

I received this pm a few days back.... Is it related?

Hi,
I'm new here, how's it going?

Could you repost a copy of this message showing the username, that way we can do something about it. Otherwise we have no idea who it came from and can do nothing.

[Re@lity]

Well I just banned username "Patricia"

If it's incorrect, I expect she'll(?) shout!.......

[painter13]
