[John Schaben]

I just tried it and got the same message. I went to the google safe browsing page for an explanation. Here is the google page:

Just got the message myself. Looks like the site has been hacked. Hope it is not causing too much disruption but would like the moderators to send info as to what the hackers were after!

They are collecting email addresses. I received a message in email that seemed to be strange - asking nothing particular other than that I reply to a link. Not.

[John Schaben]

That's probably the issue. The last week or so I've had a blizzard of suspisous e-mails that I put directly in the junk mail filter. Really goofy e-mail addresses from the senders. Address just looked like a random array of alpha characters.

re: Email

If you don't know the person or business, that sent you the email, 

DO NOT OPEN---

Just send it to ''SPAM".

If you don't have a "SPAM" feature, check with your internet provider.

  I have Comcast service, and they a have a automatic SPAM feature, which routes the email directly to a SPAM folder.

Select the SPAM file, and select "DELETE ALL"---the contents of the SPAM file will be deleted, and it won't be in your Trash BIN.

  NOTE:  One may get a VIRUS, embedded in an email from a friend, and you won't know it.

Good thing I came to this site first.  Glad you disseminated the information.

Hi,

I received a E-Mail after Replying to a person on the community sight asking to  send money to a third would country.

Looked at it because it was a reply from Kreg Community, Deleted it and ran Virus Programs. So be aware their are also problems with this web sight.

Regards all

Yeah, but ... I have received email from those I know which had links which were "deadly."  Happened again the other day.  At first glance, it looks legit from a friend.

Couple years ago my wife's email account was hacked into.  Imagine the anxiety she endured when every one on her contact's list learned she was an "authorized Viagra rep?"  Grrrr.
