Spam problems when logging onto HH | Forum

I just logged into Head Heritage and was asked to participate in a short questionnaire - as a 'thank you' was then told I would be entered in a draw for a free Apple ipad or iphone. I know, I know, should have stopped then but obediently I gave them my mobile phone number to which they sent a PIN number. As soon as I entered this number was instantly hit with three txt messages costing £4.50 each. I replied with STOP straight away. Can't believe I fell for it and only fair to warn others.

That's horrible. I regularly change my passwords re. Amazon and the like - pathetic and criminal shagnasties, but I would have not expected it here. Keep safe through vigilance tjj :-) _/\_

This bunch are brilliant.

They will pull spyware, malware, trojans etc out of your computer like bad teeth.

Simply allow Eset Nod 32 to do the business (for free).

Eset Nod 32 Online virus scanner (and ripper-outer).

Just allow it to download its latest database of anti-malware/bad stuff and let it do the work.

It is quite brilliant and will be up to date (ie. today) with the latest fraudsters.

Brilliant.
