    I had two messages in my inbox this afternoon. One purporting to be from a BS administrator saying that I had a virus and needed to go to a link for virus protection, and another urging me to go to a credit reporting website. Has this been happening to anyone else?

    I deleted them as soon as I saw what they were. Not sure if there is a PM recycle bin, but that's where they would be.

    Wow - maybe this account is a bot too?

    If you ever get these, forward to me. I'm taking measures to deter this kind of thing.

    I've been getting them too, but have deleted them so far. I'll pass along any future ones.

    Just got another one and sent it your way. Did anything recently happen to make BSI more susceptible to this? I've been around here for 12+ years without anything like this, and now I've had 4 in as many days.

    I'm not sure - but it's very annoying. Thanks for forwarding - it helps in trying to frustrate their activities.

    Is there a glitch in the matrix?

    Thanks - I took out the spammer. We will obviously never contact you from a strange account.
