SPAM WARNING

by Hazed

We've noticed an increase in the number of spam emails that are faking a "from" address to look like they come from ibgames.com or ibgames.net. The emails usually tell you there is something wrong with your account and that you should click on a link to sort it out.

Needless to say, clicking on that link leads to somewhere nasty that could infect your computer with viruses or other malware.

So please don't click! You need to know that the only ibgames email addresses that will send you mail are fi@ibgames.com, alan@ibgames.com and barb@ibgames.com. (Oh, and of course the mailing list for the Fed2 Star which you are reading now - fedchronicle@lists.ibgames.net!) Normally, any mail will come from me because I'm the one who deals with the day to day feedback and admin.

In fact, just about the only time you will receive an email out of the blue that contains a link for you to click on, that isn't a reply to something you sent to us, will be if you have a subscription to buy slithies every month and your bank suddenly stops allowing the payments.

If it comes from anybody else at ibgames, or if it contains a link to a page anywhere except on our web site, then don't trust it. If you're not sure, then ask!
