Lol ok so let me get this straight. You got a PM from some weird username on a truck website, telling you you had a virus, and you clicked the link to remove it.

Hate to say it, but you probably shouldn't be anywhere near the internet

I was thinking the same exact thing... well not EXACT but damn close.

WHY on earth would you click it? how the hell would someone else know you have a virus?


Sorry bud.. no hard feelings, but you deserved that one



BTW. I just found out today that you have won the Lottery!! Please PM Me your Name, Address, Phone number, Bank Account number and Last 4 digits of your Social Security Number and I'll send the money IMMEDIATELY!
