Yahoo contacts' messaging "just took an IQ quiz here".... "got a 113 lol... I
thought I was smarter than that"? I've now had this conversation 3 times with one of my contacts and once with another.
friend: i just took an IQ quiz here.. pretty cool
Me: u told me before
friend: got a 113 lol... I thought I was smarter than that
Me: yes I know
friend: you should see if you can do better than me... if u can ill buy you a drink
Me: thats good
friend: try it... http://iqhowsmart.com/?invitecode=fhf3s30e10 I bet you cant lol
Me: I dont like doing stuff like that
friend: take it now while I take a shower lol
Me: I dont like doing stuff like that
friend: ill be back in a few after im all fresh
Me: ?
friend: brb, let me know your score when im back!
Me: ?
no more communication from this point despite 'friend' still appearing as logged and me buzzing him
I'm guessing something's infected their PCs. When this first occurred I clicked on the link to find out what it was about and it requested me to download software. This is something I NEVER unless it's something from a trusted site.
I'm wondering, how do you know if someone is getting this nonsense from your ID? Or is it, a virus has taken over the ID and the original owner can no longer log in?
Whatever: The moral is...
NEVER DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE AND RUN IT UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS YOU'RE LETTING YOURSELF INTO
