If you are looking for a boyfriend or a girlfriend online and you decided to click on links sent to your email by a supposedly “attractive blonde, brunette with brown eyes”, you are likely making your computer a magnet to malware bytes and computer viruses rather than to some decent friends online.
Recently, my spam folder receives several email messages that target people who are looking for intimate buddies online. The email “Let’s Talk Online”, for example, has this message:
Don’t you think it’s time for a virtual romance with a cute girl? If so, I’m ready to start chatting with you!
The “Here’s my contact page. Click Here!” phrase however has a link and will seem to lead to a site that can be harmful to one’s computer.
There are also a variety of RE: Message 54 and RE: Message 78 messages that similarly works on the same concept:
Im a atractive blonde, brunette with brown eyes, and I’m looking for an intelligent man to communicate by e-mail, Skype, or on real dates!
Don’t loose time and come get registered FREE at: http://stop-fl0p.net/?idAff=5
If you are tempted to click on these links, I suggest that you brace yourself for computer security troubles. Better still, delete and disregard these emails. You won’t find good friends with these emails, start making friends with real people in your neighborhood. Remember also to at least have a fre anti virus in your PC in case somebodY uses your computer and has these similar emails.
