I'm making this announcement so I hope everyone who is on my Facebook list of friends understands that whatever links you are getting from me... it's not being sent by me...it's some ass wipe jerk who must have mutated a virus to my address book and I'm getting all kinds of messages.

I'm sorry but I'm not sending you any videos. I never send anyone anything unsolicited through any network I'm a member of so please do not open any links that are sent to you from me through Facebook!

Sorry for the inconvenience...I'm pissed off right now!

LMAO!!  I was soooo wondering why in the world Neal would send me an email about my ass - question answered.  And, NO, I did not click on the link!

Hi Neil - I just got one today and luckily for me my spam filter blocked it. The games people play just keep getting better and better.

Hi Neal - what a pain that must be.  I have no clue who I'm friends with on Facebook, I seldom go there, and joined for the same reason you did.  I haven't gotten anything like those emails mentioned above, but had I, they would have been deleted and not opened, knowing full well they weren't from who it said they were from.

Sorry you're having to deal with that crap.

Lisa,

Should I be?:)

Hey all...I think it has finally stopped but Paula Henry was sending me a message and then I replied to her and then the video came from her but that was the last one I saw.

Hi Neal, I did get one of these from you and my virus protection popped in inediately and almost in red flashing lights warned me not to click the link. Good to know that thing works. Hope everything turns out ok for you. People that do this are sickos.

Hey Neal

As you can tell, I got the email from you and freaking opened it. Knew immediately I had a problem, when it started sending out emails to my facebook friends and I couldn't stop it!  YIKES!

I have a very good virus software and quickly ran it. It found virus and removed it. I will email you the link to the software. There is a free version. Should remove this virus for you.

Bty - sorry Maureen! It will be last time I open an email from Neil. <<just kidding, Neil>>

Its starting to happen more and more. Some are easy to spot some not so much. I get them sent to my clients through my appraisal software contacts list  reference says appraisal report 12345689 so it looks like the attachment is a final report im sending out. I havent had a problem because typically the name is there and the header but there is no general text in the message just an attachment. Just be careful- dont know how they do it but its extremely annoying esp when it goes out to your clients :0)

I think the problem stopped but now I'm wondering why my PC is running slower...maybe I caught it too.

Neal, Run your virus protector again, the virus I got kept sending a trojan out from other files for several days.  I think the whole thing is quarantined now! ( a total of 4 days...)

I am so glad to know this. A friend invited me to join, but I have not done it. I think I will pass on it. I joined Myspace and realized it was a mistake. Sure hope you get it cleaned up.

I think some f you guys missed this...this matter has been fixed but if you ever get these types of messages...do not open them or you'll really screw up your PC. I did get another one but this time I deleted it.
