[aceinc1]

I received an email from this site claiming that someone has been trying to open my account.

I have already had a bad experience with one message board. who is this here?

an IP address was given to me it was 74.53.243.34 (http://74.53.243.34/)

to which country does this IP address belong.

I am petrified.

I don't wanna be banned from here.

I can use colorful langauge at people if necessary remember that.

regards,

Don't panic. There was an automated spamming script a while ago that was attempting to log in to everyone's account.

It was working in alphabetical order, so the 'A's (like yourself) were attempted before the rest of us.

The script was blocked. No harm was done.

If it had succeeded, your account would probably have been used to tell us about the wonders of Viagra.

Have a great day,

Mac

Hey, damn it, I mighta wanted some of that Viagra stuff.

Oh, not like I need it or anything. I got a friend, yeah, that's it, a, a friend who could use a blue pill on occasion. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Fine, I'll leave now. You could have waited for just a little while, ya know.

It's not just you, dozens of members experienced the same thing. Forget it and move on.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but I would advise you not to use colorful language at people here.
