| Junior Member | This is a very serious thread. I wish i could put it somewhere everyone see. I received an email day before yesterday. Hello Dear,Of curiosity i replied to it Hello Miss Juliet,Today i received a reply to it. It is too long. but i request you to take time and read it. Hello Dearest,Dear friends, This is a clear fraud. if anyone among u receive such emails please ignore. if you reply, you will be brainwashed to believe them and you will be asked to give your credit card number or to deposit a huge amount in their account. and you will not get even a single rupee back. Belive me, One known person to me had a similar experience. He was a innocent soul, he belived that email and lost Rs 1,00,000. This amount he borrowed from some private lender with huge interest and because he could not pay it back, he ended up in suicide. Friends, please, please, please............... Ignore these kinds of emails. The surprising thing is the email mentions they got my email from indiabroadband. that means all of my friends using this forum is suseptible to this email Take precaution Thank you |

Rep Power: 14 | Indiabroadband.net is not under any threat. Your e-mail id is probbably the same as your user id. These guys set up bots which scan the whole members list which offcourse is avauilable to view for every one including guests.. once they have the whole list they just suffix the member id's with yahoo.com, hotmail.com, gmail.com and a small percentage of our members would end up getting their e-mails. You were one of them. Our forum was not hacked or anything. I have had loads of such e-mails in the past saying saw your profile at so and so website. Nothing to worry about. Just press the report phishing and it will be reported to your e-mail provider for furthur investigation. |

| aditya | hi nisant666 Would like to tell you the reason of getting such email your email address is visible to all on your Indiabroadband.net profile, so anyone can check it from there, for your security you can hide it from your contact info. Hope it will help you |
