Well Now I am completely furious, I received an phishing note in the actual Site mail, the only way this could happen is if you are a member this completely bastard contacted me with this rubbish, I have alerted the website admin and told them to deal with this matter I an not amused, bad enough my gmail account was compromised but this is site mail, its definitely coming from their website.

Message I received below and I cannot even trace it, there is no way to see the original format and report, only the damn user name and his goose is cooked.




Good Day,
I hope my email meets you well. I am in need of your assistance. My name is Capt. Zongo Savimbi,I am in the Engineering military unit here in Luanda Angola,we have about $28 Million US dollars that we have moved to Lome Togo during the war,now we want to move it out of that country.
My partners and I need a good partner someone we can trust. It is legal money.

But we are moving it through diplomatic means, to send it to any country of your choice directly or a bank of your choice using diplomatic courier service.The most important thing is that can we trust you? Once the funds get to you, you take your 30% out and keep our own 70%. Your own part of this deal is to find a safe place where the funds can be sent to. Our own part is sending it to you.
If you are interested i will furnish you with more details. But the whole process is simple and we must keep a low profile at all times.

Waiting for your urgent response.

Regards,
Capt. Zongo Savimbi

You posted to an open forum with an email address, a spider pick it up and now your in a spam list.

Nothing can be done about it, other then buying/getting an anti spam system of some kind.

Once in you cant get out.. Sorry.

I thought the sneakmail account wasn't created till AFTER the first post here.

I suspect that the original email address was the one spider'd.

And the sneak is forwarding to the old address. The spamers sending directly to the address they harvested, not the n ewly created forwarder.

Did I miss read the situation?

Sounds like you read it about as right as I did.

It is a bit ambiguous.
I assumed that most current complaints were about email arriving in the gmail inbox THROUGH sneakemail, after having been changed.
As I understand it, given the same ambiguity, you assumed that the most current complaints were about spam sent direct to gmail

In any case, email routed through sneakemail gives obvious cues to distinguish it from mail sent directly to the account.
Only newangels can answer the ambiguity.

No I did not make another email address as people have been doing this with my advice on Sneakmail and all have been comprised, so there is no point I am turning off all notifications to the website apart from the newsletter in the hope this will stop

The member that phised me via site mail has been kicked out.

What jurisdiction is this forum/site under? Perhaps PIRT can make contact with someone to get this cleaned up?

I dont think the forum/site has been mentioned here yet in plaintext, probably a good thing But maybe one of the PIRT guys could contact newangels regarding this and attempt to make contact with the host of the website...

Whether "they" (the owners of the site) are sending these out, or if there servers are compromised, either way they need to get cleaned up....

Since they are spamming to your sneakemail alias as well, it leads me to believe that the attackers must have access to all e-mail addresses on the site somehow, and are manually updating the list of e-mail addresses on that site daily...

Exactly my thoughts if someone would contact me then I can give them admins email address and they can contact them, as they really need to get cleaned, its not good enough saying you are testing this has been going on since July this year.

I have not opened a new email account as it would not be viable, other people have and within the hour they have been spammed and phised as well.

Its not the owners thats for sure, this site has millions of people traveling through it all year its graphic intensive and due to this people also use the market place to buy 3D and 2D content.

If someone would leave me a private message we can take this further, its like they dont want to admit a problem, as they are a business after all, and most would not admit to this kind of compromise.
