[QUOTE="elch, post: 1116725, member: 120009"] Hi, I received a mail like this, didnt send any money but I inserted the link in my ipad browser and entered a catcha. It didnt happen anything, I got redirected to the main page of the sendspace filehoster. There was no download button. As I understand filehosters they only download if one hits the download button. But why these scammers include such filehoster links if they dont work? Or do they attach malware to to the link and they work if nothing is downloaded? Am I in trouble? Should I delete my ipad and install everything again? Thank you. [/QUOTE]
