  • Oh no... I clicked the link before I read the comments (I'm so stupid sometimes :@) and I entered my details

    Do I have to worry? Is there anything I should do?
    I'm a bit worried :o

    Don't worry too much, you'll probably get a fair few spam emails trying to get you to take out a loan, or telling you you've inherited $100,000 or even trying to get you to buy viagra... :eek:

    Or as Kitty Pryde said in the post above your one.

    I put all my correct details in as i have done throughout. I was worried to death as I have never done anything like this before. It is only with reading the forum I have delved in because i thought if everybody was sending off then it is ok.

    i just got an email from them , they wanted me to confirm/validate my details , then a link came up to enter a competition to win an i phone , i've just reported them as spam , so any more emails from them will go in the junk folder , but chances are they will have passed on the email address to others ,

    I was just about to come and post this, but you beat me to it.
    Steer clear.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I was stupid not to read all this before hand and clicked on, gave my details and loooooooooooow and behold I ended up with 180 spam emails:mad:
    lesson learnt for me I thinks
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.
