[slm] someone called "mugu" visited my guestbook, and left behind an unclear message. I searched for mugu, and it means "big fool". Then I came across this"

[quote]Address book spamming: somebody or something has been using a fake address (e.g. mugu@mugu.com) to pollute address books all over the web. There is no way for the real mugu.com to prevent that. This domain does not send or receive email at all.

This spamming attack may be connected to the Nigerian banking/money transfer email scam. The 'mugu' is a calling card left by the spammers to mark a guestbook as harvested for email addresses.[/quote]

so, if you get someone to get money out of you in a Nigerian or some other banking/ money transfer scam, beware.

And I do not know what to do with the "mugu" calling card. Should I delete that?
Oh that scam
