Strange Web Sites

Verb

Hi all, I have recieved two emails from someone who is in my email contacts for links to other web sites, although I dont seem to be in the list of recipients. The person whos email address they came from has told me they never sent them. The web sites seem rather interesting but by the same token rather dodgy.

Can anyone offer and info or advise. The two web sites are as follows:
www.eleRUSH.com

www.fastnewbuy.com

someone has hacked their account, If i was you i would delete the links youve put on here. i doubt they have any tracking on them, i think they just want peoples credit card numbers, but likewise delete them off here and contact your friend and tell them to change their passwords

Also get your friend to check his account details they have been know to change the alternative email address or secret answer so that it takes them 2 seconds to get back in to spam again after the password was changed.

Also they spam msn lists to catch out people. But when was the last time your friend logged into MSN sent hey checkout this website without saying hi how are you?

the fact that you were not in the list of recipients but received the email more likely means that you were BCC'd which is Blind Carbon Copy, which you will receive a copy of it but no one else will see your details in the recipients list, including yourself.
