 Hi folks just to let you know that i have just received an email from a mob who call themselves Shtyle.fm,the email was supposedly from a regular forum member,it invites me to be a friend,they request personal details pics etc,i checked it out on the net & found out that it is a big scam,so if any other forum members receives one of these emails be warned,they apparently get into your hotmail.I will contact the member concerned just to let him know...Simmo

Interestingly I got an invite to this from a prominent member of this forum, I joined but have had no problems...mind you I did not grant them access to my email contacts, they were a bit insistent but I eventually skipped passed it.
I must look into this more

Just did some research and according to Norton they're safe.
Check it out here: http://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?name=shtyle.fm
Seems if you put anything into google someone, somewhere will say "scam," of course it might be true, but according to Norton they're OK and safe.

Hi Barry thanks for all the info,sorry if i pressed the panic button i guess i just erred on the side of caution,i haven't blocked your email address so all is as normal or as we like to say over here "no worries"
