Hi,

I warned my fellow investors and those who use Liberty Reserve. Was a bit distracted with the following e-mail today (if it's not just me) that Liberty Reserve offered an investment program where it says 150% in 7 days. This is not true. Make sure the url above is not an ip address or other urls. Also, you can check your host file for possible changes in your ip tables. in linux you can see it in /etc/hosts in windows,
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

When I found out, the url was redirected to this ip: 82.146.51.161 and when I do DNS, I see an incomplete info:

Retrieving DNS records for robert12542.joinvps.com...
Attempt to get a DNS server for robert12542.joinvps.com failed: robert12542.joinvps.com does not exist in the DNS

For those who received this e-mail, please be warned and make sure it is really libertyreserve that you visited.

Good luck!

Cheers,

yah, but i guess it's not the phrase "be careful of similar program" because, We should not join to anything that says in that e-mail.. it was intended to phishing.. and sure it would just collect e-mail.. or much worst like you said.. viruses and trojans..

good luck!
