Day of the Spammers
Posted by: Samson Jul 30, 2010, 9:39 pm
Spammers are out in force today. A bogus email is circulating claiming to have originated from SmaugMuds.org.
If you receive an email claiming to originate from SmaugMuds.org that is telling you your account has been suspended, DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY. The instructions will tell you to use the attached EXE to reinstate your account, but the attachment is a virus.
Do not reply to these emails as they are likely being used as harvesting tools. NEVER give your username and password in response to an email from this site.
One sure tip-off in this particular email is the phrase "revalid you credentals" which is obviously a typo.

How nice, at least they were kind enough to not bother with spellcheck before sending...

Credentials? We need Credentials to be in Smaugmuds? Well crap. Does that mean I lose my parking space?

Of course, Sanus. You didn't expect free parking for life, did ya'?
