Hi Guys

There has been a few people emailing the board to tell us that they cannot activate their account with the activation code they recieved, of late. This is a little confusing as we do not have anything where users have to enter an activation code.

I have since recieved a large number of phishing emails spoofing being from Toymods with an attachment that is being asked to be run or a web address to go to for activation.

Toymods board does not send out emails with executable code, do not run attachements you recieve from emails claiming to be from the board or the Toymods administrator. If you get an email with a link in it please view the source and see if the link you see in the email is the same as the one in the source, and more to the point goes to somewhere legitimate.

I know this is common knowledge for most people who use the net a lot, but I don't want anyone being caught out by this rubbish.
