I have just received a P.M. from someone who joined two days ago.
Message was
Hello friend, i found you http://j u n a r o . c o . c c /******/
n.b. I masked my personal identity with ******

I have NOT responded nor clicked. I googled and got two results with
junaro.co.cc "I found you"

Has everyone got spam in their mail box today ?

I tried to advise via "Contact Us", but unfortunately the response was
"Firefox can't find the server at cmdtips.com."

Regards
Alan

Thanks alan_b,

I got the same thing, I ignored it and wondered if it were directed to more than myself. I'll drop a note to an admin

Thanks for confirming my fears.

I would be interested in knowing the consequences of clicking the link,
but caution / fear prevents me from doing so ! !

I got the same thing. I used a Virtual Machine to click on it, and a picture appeared saying "loading" for about 5-10 seconds, and as far as I could tell nothing else happened. The page source had some obfuscated javascript. I tried using the Mozilla Firefox Deobfuscator on the page and it is definitely a phishing/malware site. I think it had already been reported and blocked somehow, so whatever it was supposed to do, it no longer did.

But I wouldn't recommend clicking on it unless you use a virtual machine or a "safe" computer.
