There's a new email scam. I suspect it's a phishing scam, though to be honest, I didn't follow the links and find out because I didn't want to risk infecting my computer if it led to a virus instead. You receive an email that looks like it comes from MySpace claiming you have a new message. The text says
I changed the links so they don't go to a real domain, and I added the url=# to keep them from working; the email will have "NOT_MYSPACE_DOMAIN" replaced with nonsense letters and numbers that start w/"mp3", I guess so it looks like a legitimate way to get music. Now, if you receive this email on an email account that isn't registered with myspace, it's pretty obvious that it's a scam, but I thought I'd warn everyone anyway in case you get an email on an account that IS registered at myspace.
In this vein, if you ever receive an email claiming to be from theBubbler.com that you find suspicious, forward it to
info@thebubbler.com and ask if we actually sent it. All community-driven sites are under attack by this kind of scam, and I'm dedicated to protecting our users from it to the best of my ability.
