[Jaws]

Someone is using the old member database ( not the current one so not the one on this server ) to send spam and spoof emails out.
Do not click on any links.. simply delete the messages

The messages are claiming to come from me via BIRD and to start with look right... except the email of mine they are using ( an aol address ) has not been used in conjunction with the forum for about 4 years !

Yup.. looking at the time line it does make me want to point fingers, but I do not for one minute think it is malicious but someone has been a bit careless somewhere

I keep getting stuff allegedly from Hermes telling me to click a link to track my parcel.

Total spam.

Just to add to this, a thread was posted today that had some very dodgy looking links.

JAWS is aware and it has been removed.

Don't click on anything that you are not sure about!!
