The friend who supposedly sent me the sms.ac invitations swears up and down she knows nothing about it. Because several mutual friends have accounts on my mail server, I checked the logs and found that the invitations were sent by ‘her’ to 7 different addresses on my mail server, all mutual friends. At this point it’s a mystery how sms.ac happened to get those addresses, but there’s an awful stink about it.
I got spam from them to my hotmail.com account from a school friend.
He uses hotmail regularly. I asked him about it and he was like, “I don’t remember signing up for an account at sms.ac nor inviting you”
Interesting that sms.ac is a permutation of scams. I didn’t catch that at first.
PS: My hotmail.com account is now closed. haha. They close accounts after 30 days of in-activity. I just used it receive HTML spam from Edwards Cinema.
