Watch out for this email
You may get what appears to be an innocent email from AMO SoftShop Team with “Your bank transaction has been declined” as the subject, which reads:
Dear customer, Unfortunately your transaction has not been authorized. Please, specify your transaction number 2022872 dating 22 May 2005 with total amount of 274.00 pounds. You've specified the following email as reachable. Please call us at +44-01217111915 for additional information. You can find the order details at www..amotrading,,org Reggards. AMO SoftShop Team. DON’T CLICK ON THE URL LINK! The site has a virus. If by any chance to do get curious and click the URL then immediately go to your browser menu Tools > Internet Options and delete Temporary Internet Files including off line content. You should be in the clear but let your anti virus software do a sweep as you continue doing what you were doing, just to be on the safe side. Yes I was curious because I thought that someone had been trying to buy something in my name using my credit card details that had just expired and I wanted to find out what was going on. Curiosity nearly killed this cat.

Re: Watch out for this email
Sorry Jambutty but i have changed the url to stop people getting a virus
even if they click on the link it will go nowhere. we dont want people on this site getting a virus so putting a link in to a site with a known virus is not on Last edited by Mick; 29-05-2005 at 07:05. |

Re: Watch out for this email
I’m sorry for my faux pas mick, it just didn’t occur to me to disable the link.
It’s my age you know. Not only have I become invisible when shopping in supermarkets I’m getting forgetful as well. I will now go and stand in the corner with a Dunce’s hat on and mumble away to myself for a while about being more careful etc.
