I've been receiving some spoofed mails titled, "Important Notification", where the sender appears to be from Scream And Fly's administration.

These mails are not sent from us, nor do they originate from any of our servers or administration.

We do not even have outgoing mail servers.

The mail I received looked like this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Screamandfly Member,

Your e-mail account was used to send a huge amount of unsolicited spam messages during the recent week. If you could please take 5-10 minutes out of your online experience and confirm the attached document so you will not run into any future problems with the online service.

If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice but to cancel your membership.

Virtually yours,
The Screamandfly Support Team

Again, these were not sent from us, so please delete them immediately.

Thanks,
Greg

I've received lots of them too, most want private info to see how bad they can rip you off.
