Quite convincing spam/malware from the OSI Streetsmart forum

    I just received an email from the OSI Streetsmart Forum (which I have not used in years). It uses a mixture of real links and spammy ones to convince you you have malware. Quite convincing really.
    You have just been sent a personal message by MichealTracy on OSi StreetSmart Support Forum.

    IMPORTANT: Remember, this is just a notification. Please do not reply to this email.

    The message they sent you was:

    Dear, andy!

    A virus alert was noticed on your computer.
    We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately: SPAMMY LINK HERE
    If you do not pass this test we will have to delete your account and forward a complaint to your ISP with attached log file (your IP address, etc.).
