Getemcode.com - BE SKEPTICAL!

Have you received a message saying your picture has been found on another website?  I got it a week or so ago, and was skeptical but figured I’d check.  One of the links I know they are saying is getemcode.com (don’t go there!), which redirects to something else, and then starts to put popups on your browser, which are hard to get out of.  Very sucky experience.

If you get a message from a Facebook “Friend” and it looks wierd, just DELETE IT. Be skeptical.  Curiousity is what funds antivirus companies… I’d rather miss a “hey, nice to see you here” email than click on something just to be sure and then fight for days or weeks to get rid of computer problems.

It’s a darn shame Facebook hasn’t cleaned this up yet, but for now, my advice on weird messages is to DELETE, DELETE, DELETE.

And, because of my open connection philosophy, I receive about 90% junk…. yeah, I know, I need to prune :p
