Spam from forum ID

Post by mabloodhound » Mon Mar 30, 2015 6:43 am

I recently joined the forum and now I am receiving 3 to 4 spam e-mails a day from Nigeria, etc. This is the only new place I've joined in the last 2 years. Is anyone else getting these spam messages? I sure would like the money they're offering :o but as we know the widow is just scamming. I'd like to know how they get our e-mail from this forum?

Only registered and logged in users can see email addresses here.
It's more likely a coincidence and the spammers harvested your email address recently from somewhere else.

Make sure you untick in your options : Receive emails from other Users.

Keep receive emails from administrators otherwise I don't think you'll receive forum replies.
