posted by mullacc 30 October | 16:56

not until you get us jobs at very good companies that you "knew"

posted by Firas 30 October | 16:57

Yeah, seriously, when I saw the snippet and it said you were going to introduce me to a very good company, I thought "Hell yeah, mullacc found me a job!"

I was really touched, until I realized you were SPAMMING.

Is your account secure, mullacc? Was it just a spoofed thingy?

posted by mudpuppie 30 October | 17:04

It was a spoofing!

No email like that appears in my sent mail. But I changed my password and notified gmail anyway.

posted by mullacc 30 October | 17:06

If it wasn't from your account, how did they know to e-mail all your friends?

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 30 October | 17:06

Maybe he entered his gmail password at some site with a find-your-friends feature?

posted by Firas 30 October | 17:11

I usually use another address for random web registrations. But certainly my account was compromised since the spam was sent to people from my gmail contacts.

How annoying.

posted by mullacc 30 October | 17:14

Hmm, find your friends. Do you use Facebook? There were a bunch of other Mullacc LastNames in the recipient list too, so I wonder if it was a Facebook scam.

posted by mudpuppie 30 October | 17:16

Heh, I accidentally did a "reply-all" to my own spam. Bravo, mullacc.

Guess I'm not mullacc's friend *sniff*

my friend Kev sent THE EXACT SAME email, from his hotmail address!

posted by By the Grace of God 31 October | 04:56

And I just got one from a friend's Gmail address. It must be an exploit of the system and not a hack of your account, mullacc.

Wouldn't be the first time.
