Calling All Pogo Players

April 1, 2007 1:09pm CST
You may, or may not already be aware of the following message, but I thought this the best place to spread the words of the message I received in my Pogo box. This message concerns a bad virus and all your Pogo friends need to be made aware of it. It reads, as follows: "DO NOT ACCEPT MARC JAMES If Marc james wants to add you to his list, do NOT accept ... it is a virus. Tell everyone on your friends list, because if one of your friends adds him, you will get the virus too. It's a hard disk drive killer and a very horrible virus. Please pass this message to everybody on your list. We need to find out who is using this account." So, please be alert and don't let this guy add you to his list. We can't be too careful with any of these warnings about viruses and I urge you to please pass this to all your friends who play in Pogo. Thank you all, in anticipation, for your attention and your help in stopping this person.

Thank you for the warning Ant. I will certainly send this around to all my Pogo friends and watch my list very closely. I'm not in there a lot these days, mainly only for badges but it's getting a bit intense with all these ruses. Thanks again... it's nice that you think of people in here.

You're very welcome and thank you very much for your response. It does get a bit worrying in Pogo at times.

The only way you can get a virus from someone is to open an attachment from them. I dont understad how adding someone will give me a virus? Thanks and lets all go play Pogo now.

Do you mean that a person named Marc contacts Pogo members through the Pogo email system, asks to add them or be added to their Friends List and if accepted, infects their PC with a virus?
