Scam Email Warning: New program for automatic withdraw your earnings ....

Please note that there is a scam email circulating that is seemingly coming from programs which you may or may not be a member of offering to "install a program for automatic withdraw of the funds you've earned to your payment account." with a link to download an "autopay.exe" file.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DOWNLOAD THIS FILE. The file is actually a trojan with a keylogger inside it.

The emails are not coming from the programs in question and are phishing emails counting on a few people to download it so that the culprit can gain access to your computer.

If you have received such an email, forward it to the program owner in question along with the email headers so that they may take the necessary action against the sender and their host.

If you have downloaded it, you would need to run your antivirus (ie AVG), malware scanners (ie SpybotSD) for threats. If you do not have such programs, they are available free in our downloads section for registered members.


Additional discussions on this topic are available in our forums.
