i have got a voice on my computer telling me that if i answer a survey

[gymboywalton]

i will win a prize

the box says it's a mumsnet survey

it looks well dodgy

is it well dodgy?? or is this what mumsnet are doing these days?

[thornrose]

A voice, ooh, creepy!

[gymboywalton]

yes indeed

[gymboywalton]

mnhq-any response??

[usualsuspect]

Oh my.

A voice?

[RebeccaMumsnet]

Really? Where was this gymboy? (great name BTW)

Do you have a link?

[gymboywalton]

no
i closed it down because it looked really suspect and i had already had to clean a virus off my computer this week.

it was a voice saying please answer this survey to wina prize or something

then a large box popped up saying 'mumsnet survey'

and the questions were something like 'how often do you visit mumsnet?'

a every day
b] once a week

that kind of thing

then a thing at the bottom saying that i could win an ipod

and it knew where in the country i was too

[gymboywalton]

you joke about dr who but the horrible virus on my omputer took a photo of me using my webcam

[RowanMumsnet]

Hi gymboy

This is very odd - and we don't think it's one of ours! Sorry to raise the possibility just after you've done a virus check, but it might be worth doing one again.

[gymboywalton]

oh bum
i did think it was weird

[thornrose]

Of god gymboy, I thought that was an urban myth about being photographed on webcam

[gymboywalton]

nope

it knew where i lived [well the area] and it took my photo
i had to phone the police and speak to the fraud squad and everything

[KateSMumsnet]

Yikes - hope everything is ok!
