it's a scam email that i opened there thinking it was the simliar as FB but it turns out that its a scam.

so i am trying to figure out how to delete it so i did google it some says i should not delete it and need to report to blab blah or something. I just wonder if you guys know what it is then i would know how to delete it.


if you see " fan box" don't bother to open it. its just a cheap scam.

Go to Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware: Malwarebytes and download the freeware program. Update and do a quick scan, it should find malwares and delete them.

Block them first. Make sure the entire domain of Fanbox is blocked. Change password on your email account. Run virus and spyware/malware programs. Then send emails to all your friends and apologize/warn them.

They tried to infiltrate my address book before. I never use any of those features where they offer to help you "find friends" if you give up your email password. Big danger signs flashing!

Fanbox is nasty. :mad:

When you join them, they dig up e-mail contacts from your Hotmail, Yahoo or other webmail account to send invitation to your friends and family without your knowledge or their explanation. Someone asked me about the Fanbox and I did research on them. That was how I found out about them.

Well, Fanbox uses several different addresses to bypass the spam blockers. I think they have a number of different people names in the address. In Yahoo, I just used "fanboxmail.com" and "fanboxnotes.com" for filters, rather than say "joeblow@fanbox.com" because it blocks all Fanbox that way.

I also researched them after getting a bunch of emails from them about 2 years ago. They got one of my friends. Bad news.
