it seems the latest scam phishing trojan is sending you a Linkedin message from someone, when you klick on the link embedded in the message BAM!!!!! Virus keylogger etc.
 
Usually your email will disclose the suspect link when you hover over it with your mouse,the link seems to indicate a linkedin adrees, but in fact its the trojan.
 
I have an inactive linkedin account, and it raises a red flag when I receive these messages.

Thanks MM...

I'm glad I haven't joined in any of these Facbooks, Linkedin, connect with the whole world schemes/traps.

Me thinks it's better/safer to be unknown, unpopular, underground, and uncompromised.

They're everywhere. A few week ago I received a fake Paypal payment notification for a wristwatch.

I do have a FB account.
I've cut it down from 40 something friends to 14 this last week.
I pretty much just like pages from music/recording people and companies.

Things like API, Neve, SSL just for drooling purposes.
Also people like Tony Maserati, Eddy Kramer, Rupert Neve, Charles Dye, Dave Pensado and the like.
They post on what their up to and offer up some tips.

Loads of other recording info and tips floating around there too.
Some good reading if you weed out all the crap like people posting endless photos of their kids and drunks posting where they plan on puking this evening.

What I've been saying all along. :) Plus, I think I actually prefer to have that stuff in a dedicated newsfeed on Facebook than in my mailbox.


In the last year, I've won a Zoom multi-effect, a Lexicon MPX, a Steinberg remote control and a DBX 266 XS stereo compressor...

Granted, some of that stuff is pretty cheap and/or useless. But free is always cool and some of it is actually pretty cool - the Lexicon verb is one of my favorite reverbs.

Well, the Coffee House is kinda like social media, no? ;)

I can post a picture of my breakfast if you need a proof... Or how about a bunch of cute kitty videos?
