The user profile says online.notice.gaga7 and I immediately Googled it. Sure enough, some piece of shit scam. My parents don't know anything about computers and, when a program suggests clicking something, they click it. They complained about their computer being slow so I looked at it. They were completely infected with just about every virus, malware, and Trojan you can imagine. I'd be willing to bet they have responded to those phishing scams as well. I hate these mother fuckers and wish they would die. Fucking pieces of shit. I got this message as well. The user profile says online.notice.gaga7 and I immediately Googled it.
