I'm getting peculiar attempts to contact me. Something about 'documents'Maybe others are getting the same attempts. Who knows?

Perhaps a message via the forum might clear matters.

Thanks John. I was worried that it was all just the effects of the Goat and Compasses and then the 18 or so courses at a Chinese Banquet.

I keep wondering whether Gus might make it down to Fiji. I'm spending my tax refund there!


Somewhat hazily

I got one too this morning, was going to contact him to see it it was legit before opening the link, you have saved me the trouble.

Hi Gus--Again.

Another peculiar message about a 'document' was received in my e-Mails.

Please confirm on a PM here, the firm which we both worked for before .
You in the Far East and me in the early 1950's in the UK.

Notice for the rest of your friends to take notice, please.

Regards

I had 4 new infected emails from Gus when I got up this morning. I have Gus's real email address so I emailed him and asked him to take his computer off line until he gets it properly de-bugged.--Brian Rupnow
 
So far I've only had the one that I mentioned earlier. I've not had any more as far as I know !

Having said that if you are not on the white list, it's likely that I would never see suspicious mail since it automatically goes in the trash.

But I agree that it does seem that Gus's machine is suspect.
 
Thanks Brian,

I didn't have Gus's new e-mail.


Hopefully this nice fellow will get it all sorted and we can get on with life.

More important, your people in Alberta isn't it? I think that all we Limey's think exactly the same.

It is not likely from his machine. If a hacker gets your email address they can send mail that appears to come from it, when it fact it comes from their machine. If you know how to decode all the headers you can see this, but very few people can read that stuff, or even see it on their normal mail reader.
