Unsolicited ECN Private Message (SPAM)

Hi All (FYI),

I have just received an unsolicited ECN private message, which in itself is not a problem. However, the content sounds too much like the good old fashion unsolicited spam mails you used to get in other IMs or eMails. You know the ones; All very nice, wanting to be friends and to show you pictures although you was never aware of that person's exsisting until the that very message. Which generally results in either the original eMail or IM asking to chat via an eMail address for futher chats will contain a virus of some description at some point.

Or a bit like those ones where if it not sending you pictures, they are ask for your help in transfering $1M+ dollars into a bank account. As they have just come into a fortune in some remote country who would take all the money. For a small fee you pay to them, they will transfer the all the money into your account which you have just setup for them and in return they will give you share of the cash..... Where in reality they have just ran off with the small fee you paid never to be seen again.

Below is the message, which was received. (Apologise to Lilian if you’re not a Spam bot, and although very flattering, I somehow do not think that ECN is the right social forum):

Suspicion grows when the ECN profile was only created on 28-Nov-12 01:37. Has the Spam bots finally reach ECN.

Be Warned!!
