I got an email from Jae Hee asking my to complete a survey. Weird, I google searched this person and they have a Linked-In profile as well as some other sites, facebook, etc. If this is the same person. Be wary of it.

I got the same PM here a few months back.

I got the message too. I thought someting might be up with it so I went to the MCA web site and found nothing about it in my PM or anywhere so I deleated it. There is allways someone trying to take avantage of other peoples good harts. Marty

My system quarantines all unauthorized emails and files and program, blah blah, any who I have another system that I go to when I receive junk like this and "Jae Hee" was one!
I open Jae Hee on my safe zone system and this email poses as a MCA email and even the body is designed like an MCA email, blue box, etc..
JAe hee is a Korean name, I passed this email to our Chief of Police and he said he would pass it over to a buddy of his. He said they were going to fill out the survey and see where it takes them. I haven't heard back from him as of yet. I have received this email several times!

I have recieved the same email twice now. I just deleted it both times.

Alright, Whitepony,I hope you hear something back. I got the same email from Jae Hee also. But, didn't respond either.

The word I received back was not good! The chief came back with nothing but my buddy across the way, who is programer says, "he believe it is a internal worm and it runs in the background! He says since it was quarintine by my first system and again by my second system thats something is wrong with this email. Each system has different type firewall protection and each captured this email. He says most worms are worse than viruses. Viruses can be nip in the bud,but worms travel and get into all kinds of things. With that said my secondary system which really has nothing on it and my neighbor has had for a few weeks and has let or disabled all protection. Yesterday this system is now locked and will not allow you to access any program or launch to the net. Big blue screen, I am told this is a death sentence when it comes to colors in the computer world.
So, JAE Hee is be deleted asap and garage bin emptied and then a quick maintenance sweep would not hurt.

Hey everyone just saw this and thought I would post an update. This was not a worm it was a real person asking people to participate in a Dr degree project. The person was PMing people with their survey request. Once I got wind of it I banned them then they registered as another user and submitted some more. They were promptly banned once again. I contacted the person to tell them not to do it anymore or I would contact the University. Let me know if you get any more of them.

Thanks
