I am reporting from the group verdunconnections2 because ...
someone with the Multiply ID: sarathyth3387 Tried to send me a Virus,via a video...My anti virus & security protected me ,However maybe they are trying to infect others at Multiply. Can you look into this for us.As I would like to protect our members from abuse. Thanks
the ID: that tried sending me the virus is sarathyth3387 a Multiply ID:
Ps: the Virus Warning picture is for Illustration purposes only & not the Threat that appeared............ I wonder if when the Multiply site was down the other day,that someone hacked in????? I'll wait to hear from Multiply.............

Hi gang recieved another personal message from some clown I don't know,but if you get one from an unknown source just delete the whole message from the 'Inbox Page'
at the bottom of each message you get in your InBox,you have 3 choices that can be use, one unscribes you from the email notification from that message,the middle choice is 'flag this message'
and the 3rd choice is 'remove this message'
So if any of you are getting any PM (personal messages) from Multiply Users you do not know or who are not members that you recognise,then just delete the message.
I will keep you all up to date with any notices I recieve from Multiply regarding this.
Perhaps we have become the same as the old MSN where spammers are popping in and trying their stuff...might be just part of the package,......just like the old days......hahahaha We'll see.
...........HF&RV........................
Ok I've heard back from Multiply, and they have removed the offending nutbar, their advice ,is what we expected,'Just don't open any PM from person's unkown & certainly don't click on any of their links.
here's the response from Multiply:

Hi,
Thanks for letting us know. I've removed the user's account for violating our Terms of Service.
If you receive a PM from someone you don't know, please don't click on any links in the message. Instead, please report it to us and provide us with the link to the PM itself so we can investigate.
Thanks.

Les, I received a similar email yesterday through VC Multiply as a "personal" message on my site.
It stated that they knew me and attached was a video. It came from: xyydiposychy.
Scary stuff!...Diane
Diane there is no danger if you do not open the link. However if you get a msg. like that then open the msg. (not the video) & click on (right hand side of page) * Report Abuse * also I would suggest to write down the offending Multiply ID: & type it into the Reprot Abuse msg box, I also sent a message to Multiply Customer Service (usually at the bottom of main pages....(you'll see it) They will terminate that persons account,....these I must stresst Are NOT VC members , but just someone joining Multiply,like any social network, I usually catch these clowns early, & I will always make sure allour Members are Warned via a msg from me,to you all here on the Message Boards.......
....................................................Cheers HF&RV
Diane I just reported your experience to Multiply(without mentioning you Btw:) ,here is a copy :
Hi Les_F here from Verdun Connections one of our members recieved a PM with a video containing a Trojan Virus,......You asked us to report offending Multiply ID's: So here is the name of this latesst one.. xyydiposychy.
..I recieved a msg. from one of your service techs ,saying he took care of a couple of ID's that were targeting my site, I have not had any new PM's yet, so I thank your tech Jack from Indianapolis for taking care of us, Glad to see you guys are right on top of things,
Thanks Again
BTW: Diane (& everyone who reads this) if you want to report a problem to Multiply then click on 'contact' at the bottom of the front page here, & this opens a page with multiple options 'Customer Service' is then one of the options . HF&RV
Hi Diane & all our members (and those who checkout this site) I just recieved word back from Multiply again & they have removed the Multiply ID ,that sent Diane the video......I have to say I've had more replies from Multiply ,than we ever did from MSN.

.............................................Staying on top of things & thought I'd let you all know too-HF&RV
Looks like I also received one of those unknown videos.....
Don't worry about it Cookie, your anti-virus would most likely have caught anything, & just opening the PM wouldn't do it, you would have had to watch the video,& that's where your security & anti-virus programs would have stepped in and not allowed you to open it.
Basically if you recieve a PM (personal message) from someone you do not know,then just delete it.
also when answering a PM it brings you to that persons Multiply page, then just report it, or give me the name of the offending Multiply ID. & I will report it, tehy will have their membership terminated,by like everything else they might join again another another ID: They will get tired after awhile if noone answers their deal........sort of like annoying brats ,ignore them they will eventually go away..........lol
.....cheers hf&rv
Thanks Les.......We here in Vernon,BC are loaded with dumps of snow! Seems too early for the white stuff, don't ya' think?
cookie
It's always too early for the white stuff: lol As much as it does look great on landscapes,it is just slushy mess in the city. Incidentally I have as of this morning ,shovelled my driveway & sidewalk twice (once Monday,and now this morning)...hahahaha I also walked over to a sisters placeon Monday & shovelled their driveway too. We didn't get that much here ,but of course they play it up like we are isolated on an Island or something..............Oh yea we are on an island.......lol Watching the weather channel which originates out of the center of universe toronto,you would think we were cut off from the rest of the world. It is supposed to start raining later today ,so any accumulation will be long gone & have only served to get our lawns greener...... HF&RV BC is Supernatural as they say in the ads
Thanks for taking care of the potential virus problem Les. I will report any suspicious emails in the future and let you know....Diane
