If anyone gets a message from me on Twitter, please do not open it.

Some kind person has got into my account.
If you have already tried to open the link but it didnt work,it may still get in so to be on the safe side, it's probably best to change your PW
Apologies
 
Morning,

Bob, I sent you a forum PM wasn't sure if you knew your twitter account was sending out spurious direct mails.

The odd thing above the twitter message was that it was a direct message to myself, but I thought to be able to send direct messages to someone on twitter you had to be following the person you were direct messaging and Bob is not following me.

Anyhoo, I did a bt of digging from the message a received and while it shows a link to a facebook page, when you click on it Facebook gives you a warning and asks if you wish to proceed, I didn't, but I did do a lookup on the IP address, which belongs to an ISP out of the Russian Federaton or the Seychelles.

As Bob says in the top post, DO NOT click on the link.
 
Bob I got a message from you on twitter saying you were doing a Sale on the V-Easy's and offering them at £4.99 inc del to all forumers - is this not true then?
 
There is an apology needed!!! Why didn't I get a dodgy PM? I own a V Easy and everything. Bobby Big Boots!!! ;)

Maybe because you havent put your V-Easy in your signature :whistle:

I'll make sure you get one next time

As Greengrass used to say.....
"You've got more chance knitting fog"
:ears:
 
I dont follow you, but I still got a msg asking me to return my V-easy... Apparently there is a design flaw, as it has not fixed my putting yet!!!
 
I clicked the link and I now own half of Nigeria..........................well as soon as I get to the bank and send off my £100 administration fee- seems very reasonable I thought
 
What you mean is log this issue on the help desk tracker and someone will look into it, within the timescales of the SLA, obviously.

I PMed him, but got a auto response.. 'Your PM is important to me and will be responded to in the order it is received. In case you need a quick response, tweet me..but it may be hacked... So hack off'
