I get the occassional flattering e-mail from various girls with improbable names who saw my profile on MSN/Facebook/Skype and want to contact me.
Obviously a scam, but what happens?
Anyone know anyone wo was foolish enough to follow one of these up?

Either you end up on a page full of adverts, or its the first step in them attempting to form a relationship with the goal of getting you to trust them enough to hand over large sums of currency (or just your bank account details)

I've known of that happening on myspace where clicking on the contact will infect your computer with a trojan. I have a friend who received a friend request and clicked on the link to view it and had the z.lob trojan infect his computer. The antivirus caught it and deleted it, but not before it had affected registry....which then reinstalled it. Using restore didn't work as they had tampered with that also.

Spyware is a good bet.....cost: $12.00. Viruses are another good bet.....cost: $50.00 Sending you to sites that you wish you hadn't visited......Priceless! For all other crap they give you: Mastercard. Never leave home without it when you visited spam sites.
