Wegame = evil spam

Hey all,

I received an email from an outfit called 'Wegame' advising that a friend wanted to share a picture with me. Trusting this friend, I clicked through the required steps to see what image he'd wanted to share and as a result it's spammed about 474 people I know saying I've invited you to look at a picture.

First of all, accept my most sincere apologies. I should have been smarter.

Second - DELETE THAT EMAIL. IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE.

So so so sorry. I'm getting spammed left and right by confused people. :/ This is so noxious.

Not to worry. Thanks for the notice on your LJ! That is a particularly nasty sounding phishing site! Delete, delete!

Urgh, it's gone to about 500 people.

Hopefully most of the recipients are more web-savvy than I am. I just got caught in a moment of stupid.
