    Default New Email Scam!

    Ok. This is a very clever but old scam.

    Basically they have go hold of a @sulake.co.uk email and are sending you a email saying you are being rewarded with a badge for being on habbo for a long time. They are telling you to download a file which is a keylogger pretending they need you to do that so they get sent your ip to upload ya badge to.

    This is not sending your IP atall. All its sending is whatever you type in.

    Just warning you.

    The email is [email protected]

    Need any more information ask below. Thanks

    Forums, People on your msn ect?

    Also the [email protected] or what ever is, isn't even a varified email it's one of them you can get from Passport.

    Nothing to worry about, if your a noob you won't fall for this tbh.

    Will probably be a TelNet Spoof.

    Basically, you can send an email from any @name.com but not receive replies.

    There are numerous websites which let you spoof emails. Also telnet hardly ever works nowadays. (spoofing emails using telnet I mean)
