BodySpace Official News Blog

Some users received a PM (personal message) from a (now banned) member called "Marmites" like this:

hey,

we’ve been keeping an eye on your progress, looking good!

the reason for this private message is because we are currently looking for a selected few bodyspace members to be on the main page of the bodyspace banner.

it’s going to be new and exciting and what a better way to kick it off with new faces.

here’s a quick sign up form http://ad.bodybuilding.com

all the best!

DON’T CLICK ON THE LINK!

This is what is known as a phishing scam.  If you did get one of these PMs, you would have (hopefully) noticed that the link text “http://ad.bodybuilding.com” didn’t match the actual link URL, which was pointing to an outside site (ending with “.tk”).  Moral of the story, before you click a link, always glance at the status bar to make sure the link you are about to click is actually going to where you think it is. 

If you did click this link, please CHANGE your PASSWORD immediately!
