Since when are lads sending out ecards, I've never received one
from a lad before. I did however send out a mass mail this morning,
yep, the email was in it. How do you bait something like this... Laughing

I feel no love from my lads then. All the ecards I get are downloads that are actually just viruses. Have I perhaps done something to make them mad and maybe show some more love?

Bah, lad hugging is for hippies.

OK, Should i send one back to him, showing my true love now and how thankful I am for the ecard

@TheGreatOok,

The chances of a lad deliberately sending a virus to you or anyone else either by ecard or any other means are practically zero.
Firstly, most of them wouldn't have a clue how to do it.
Secondly, if it costs them money (even just internet cafe time) they would prefer to spend it scamming in the hope of gaining reward.
Thirdly, it would serve no earthly purpose.

We get many people here claiming that lads have sent them a virus.
Don't believe it. It doesn't happen.

What might happen is that someone has used or cloned their email address or that they are working on an infected machine. The chances of that happening are about the same as the same thing happening to you and then you being accused of 'deliberately' sending a virus to someone else.

I've never gotten one, but I've sent a couple. The lads really like it. Laughing

@BB - Yeah that is what I was guessing also but it is still disappointing Sad

Also thought it may just be spam from some of the guest books I signed. I didn't quite understand the idea of catcher account at first, now I have got the hang of it all.

My charater Lacy Mcmillen wrote a nice short letter about her self to
Dr. Aboki Zhawa on the ecard he sent her.

My reply:
Hello Dr. Aboki Zhawa, this is Lacy, and how are you, I just
loved the ecard you sent me, did you like mine, Well can I tell
you more about myself, Well, I am a good figured woman of 38,
about 5' 8" tall with long black hair.

Acting:
I never really set out to be an actress. It was actually while
presenting a programme on television for a company around
Ikeja that Emem Isong saw me and invited me to read for a part
in a film she was doing auditions for then. I read it and I got the
part. She saw my talent and said she'll call again, she did and am
still acting and having no regrets since 1998 that I first started
acting with the Soap "Inheritance".

Music:
I'm still into music very much. I do a fusion of afro beat with
soul, jazz, hip-hop. I've always been in music, people know me
more as a singer than as an actress. I write my own songs and
it started right from my primary school days. Though acting takes
my time but I don't let it allow my music to suffer.

I can tell you more if you want, Now Dr. Aboki, Please tell more
about yourself.
My Regards,
Lacy McMillen

I guess email not good enough now, I receive another ecard from Dr Aboki Zhawa,
The bastard is sending scam letters through ecards now. Check it
out, unreal, how far these bastards will go to get there scam letters
out. I never done an ecard bait before, any suggestions? Twisted Evil

Posted: Sun Jul 01, 2007 2:04 pm

@dgloryhole, this could be a new modality for the scammers getting their letters out. I'm going to go with the bait and see how far it goes, lol

^^I think youre probably right on that, with the continual improvement of spam filters they may be getting wise and trying different methods.
