    If you received an email or private message from the administrator about a virus alert, do not click on the link. It may contain a virus.

    Virus warning Hoax.....

    I had received a notice from the BestForumTeam and signed www.blackjacktournaments.com

    It informed me that several BJT.com members including myself may have a virus and posted a link to click. Before doing so I called Ken to double check and also Swog. Glad I did, I was told it isn't a valid IM from Ken of BJT.com, so DO NOT CLICK THE LINK if you receive one of these IM's or e-mails saying you have an IM!

    I just hope you get this warning before opening it.

    I've just deleted all the private messages sent by this scammer.
    Hopefully none of our users here clicked the link included in this bogus PM. I'm sure it installs some nasty virus or spyware. If you DID click the link in this scam message, I recommend that you scan your system for viruses.

    Sorry for the trouble. The world is full of evil people.

    It is worth noting that the forums here were not infiltrated. Instead, this message was sent by a newly registered user, using the normal private message function.
