Nah, I got this junkmail, see (ome of the previous posts). I just explained that the way I 'quoted' that mail was as a lark.

BTW: Still stuck on 16. I tried to figure out a way to avoid that #-issue. But I guess I got some reading to do after all :)

Edit: On second thought, I think I'll dig up that old Thief 2. I need a no-brainer. Nooo, I haven't given up notpron just yet.

You are being emailed because you are a user of BlueSecurity's well-known software "BlueFrog." http://www.bluesecurity.com/

Today, the BlueSecurity database became known to the worst spammers worldwide. Within 48 hours, the database will be published on the Internet, and your email address will be open to them all. After this, you will see the spam sent to your mailbox increase 10 - 20 fold.

BlueSecurity was illegally attacking email marketers, and doing so with your help. Many websites have been targeted and hit, including non-spam sites. BlueSecurity's software has been fully analyzed, and contains an abundance of malicious code. This includes: ability to send mass mail to users; the ability to attack websites with Distributed Denial of Service attack (DDoS); the ability to open hidden doors on any machine on which it is running; and a hidden auto-update code function, which can install anything on your computer and open it up to anyone.

BlueSecurity lists a USA address as their place of business, whereas their main office is in Tel Aviv. BlueSecurity is run by a few Russian-born Jews, who have previously been spamming themselves. When all is said and done, they will be able to run, hide and change their identities, leaving you to take the fall. YOU CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES and expect to get away with it. This email ensures that you are well aware of the situation. Soon, you will be found guilty of computer crimes such as DDOS attacking of websites, conspiracy, and sending mass unsolicited bulk email messages for everything from viagra to porn, as long as you continue to run BlueFrog.

They do not take money for downloading their software, they do not take money for removing emails from their lists, and they have no visible revenue stream. What they DO have is 500,000 computers sitting there awaiting their next command. What are they doing now?

1. Using your computer to send spam ?
2. Using your computer to attack competitor websites?
3. Phishing through your files for your identity and banking information?

If you think you can merely change your email address and be safe while still running BlueFrog, you are in for a big surprise. This is just the beginning...

Aha 1 minute slower than Messy :(

Anyway I got the same message from ferguson (at) proinco.net. rofl. Oh yeah and it was titled "Vida Guerra is in your neighbourhood". Funny thing is it came straight to my inbox.

Oh yeah and I DO seem to be getting more spam in general now, even if it does get instantly filtered and marked read. http://mail.google.com/mail/?view=att&d ... e7b2d7342a :o (meh you probably won't be able to see that)

Oh and Image

EDIT again:

Dear Anon,

Thank you for joining Blue Security community.
Earlier this morning, one major spammer (apparently in great distress) has just started spamming our members with discouraging messages in an attempt to demoralize our community. This spammer is using mailing lists he already owns that contain your email address. The email you had received is part of a spam campaign containing millions of such messages.

As you may already know, many spammers had already listened to the voice of reason and chose comply with the Registry (see our recent blog posts at http://community.bluesecurity.com for more details). This spammer chose a different type of response - but in vain.

Our answer to those criminals should be one - we will not be discouraged; We will continue to exercise our right to opt-out of spam.
Make spammers hear you load and clear - report your spam and let Blue Frog fight spammers on your behalf.
Keep on the good work and let spammers know - we will prevail!

We We're sorry for the inconvenience and would would be happy to assist in answering any questions you may have.

Thank you again for your support.

Should you require further assistance or information, please do not reply to this message, but simply use this Support form.

Best regards,
Roy Liron

OUCH

Damn you David. I'm emailing BlueFrog again.

Image

Also I searched through some of the spam:
Hey,

You are recieving this email because you are a member of BlueSecurity (http://www.bluesecurity.com).

You signed up because you were expecting to recieve a lesser amount of spam, unfortunately, due to the tactics used by BlueSecurity, you will end up recieving this message, or other nonsensical spams 20-40 times more than you would normally.

How do you make it stop?

Simple, in 48 hours, and every 48 hours thereafter, we will run our current list of BlueSecurity subscribers through BlueSecurity's database, if you arent there.. you wont get this again.

We have devised a method to retrieve your address from their database, so by signing up and remaining a BlueSecurity user not only are you opening yourself up for this, you are also potentially verifying your email address through them to even more spammers, and will end up getting up even more spam as an end-result.

By signing up for bluesecurity, you are doing the exact opposite of what you want, so delete your account, and you will stop recieving this.

Why are we doing this?

Its simple, we dont want to, but BlueSecurity is forcing us. We would much rather not waste our resources and send you these useless mails.


Its simple, we dont want to, but BlueSecurity is forcing us. We would much rather not waste our resources and send you these useless mails, but do not believe for one second that we will stop this tirade of emails if you choose to stay with BlueSecurity.
Just remember one thing when you read this, we didnt do this to you, BlueSecurity did.

If BlueSecurity decides to play fair, we will do the same.

Just remove yourself from BlueSecurity, and make it easier on you.

The Blue Independence War

Today is Israel's Independence Day. It's a public holiday in Israel, but all of us in Blue Security are working. But we are glad we're working. We're helping the community fight the Blue Independence War. We fight for our freedom from spammers and cyber criminals. This is our big chance to reclaim the Internet. We must not let it slip from our hands.

Some desperate spammers are doing its worst to harm our community. They'd like us to back off, and agree to get their spam silently. Needless to say, that is not going to happen. We're not here to listen to their vile threats and fraudulent advertisements. We're here to stand up for our right not to be let alone.

You may wonder what you can do to help win the Blue Independence War. Here are some ideas:

* Run your frog and report your spam
* Tell you friends to join the fight
* Write to your local newspaper about Blue Frog
* Search for news sites, blogs and forums that discuss "blue security" or "blue frog" and post positive comments
* Ask your representative to show support for the Blue Frog
* If you have a blog, write an item about the blue frog

We need to be patient and prepare for more attacks. Some top spammers embrace the change and comply. Other spammers believe they can coerce us into obedience. Let's show them this is not going to happen.

Yeah that's what BlueFrog said in their reply to me. BUT atm I am receiving more spam. I would unsubscribe but for the fact that spammers are the people I would trust least. Of course. So I'll see what happens now. (I've only got one out of about 50 spam to my inbox today, gg)

Also... :offtopic:
