Hossein has sent me a cold surprise
I just got an email — two, actually — with the text “Hossein has sent you a cold drink. To accept this gift please click the following link.”
Anyone else get this? Anyone know what is going on?
I wouldn’t suggest clicking. It could just be spam, or it could link to disturbing or illegal media, or viruses or other malware, or pages that make you have to externally terminate your whole browser because the page has locked you in a loop.
So, I wouldn’t click it. But if you have, please let me know what the hell it is. If it’s a page that makes Bleinheim’s OLD #3 HOT pour out a USB cable, I might reconsider. I think chilled ginger ale coming out of my computer would be awesome.

It sounds like a Facebook application. If you have a friend named Hossein, that could be it. Otherwise, I would guess it’s a virus or spam.

At this point, Facebook is so filthy and virus-ridden that even when it tells me that a friend of mine has sent me something, I don’t accept it or click on it.
My sister clicked on one of those links sent by a friend on Facebook once – et voila(!) – Koobface virus.
I like popping into Facebook to check in on everybody, but I honestly don’t care about getting “flair” and other goodies. I stay FAR AWAY from that stuff.

Oh, the draw of Facebook suddenly become clear to me. I wondered before why you, Bob Mike, Petra, et al. were so hot and bothered about this app. Turns out the reason is “Russian Roulette is fucking fun, man!” ;^)
On the other hand, I found Nathan Harkleroad. Hurrah. Nathan, if you are reading this: yes, I still remember your MasterLock combination from 1992. In case you were wondering.

I received two emails from my Dad’s email account, one to my personal email and one to my work.. My sister and mom also received them… So my Dad is thinking whatever it is, it sent the email to everyone in his address book. He is NOT on Facebook, so it must be something else?
