Spam emails purporting to come from the Lounge

Post by IanWilson »

I was away most of the week, so I didn't notice this until today. I had two email notifications in my email on Wednesday 31st March both purporting to come from admin@eileenslounge.com. One had the subject line Eileen's Lounge Forum post notification - "Other Applications" and the other Eileen's Lounge Forum post notification - "Other MS Office Applications". In the body of the emails they said they were about Open Office 3.2 and Microsoft Document Imaging crashes (Office 2003), in fact one had a link in it referring to sexy wedding dresses from China and the other a link about cheap flirt prom dresses. In place of the usual links to view the topics or to unsubscribe at eileenslounge dot com, they had similar links to eileenscauldron dot com.

I thought you should know.

Ian

Edited to add: too late, I now see there is a message about this in Words from on high.

Thanks for the alert. It shouldn't happen again, hopefully.
Please delete the notifications (and do not follow the links...)
Best wishes,
Hans
