WARNING!! MOZILLA COMPATABILITY SCAM


Guest

Recommended Posts

recieved an email today regarding the compatability of my site with the mozilla browser

Hello,

I noticed whilst browsing your site that there were problems with some of

your links, when I tried again with Internet Explorer the problems were not

there so I assume that they were caused by me using the Mozilla browser.

As more people are turning to alternative browsers now it may be of help

for you to know this. I have enclosed a screen capture of the problem so

your team can get it fixed if you deem it an issue.

Kind regards,

David Adams

I myself have fired off similar emails to incompatible sites to spread the word.

However, my site is always built for ff then tweaked to work in IE so was a bit suspicious. & not being completely dumb I scanned the attached zip of the so called "screenshot" & hey presto, trojan!

Just thought I should let peeps know :)
