I came home last night (2/22) and found a strange email in my inbox. I was particularily concerned after the yummy_juice_25 incident yesterday morning, as this one was from a yummy_31, and I know no one by that moniker. The title was in what appeared to be french, and all caps. I have no idea what the translation was. I looked up the source, it came from a yahoo address. I decided to run it through Gladiator AV (freshly updated), and it came up clean, but I dumped it anyway. Did anyone else get anything like this? Dok, do you think he could have culled some of our email addresses? I doubt there's anything he could try to do to me that I couldn't counteract, I guess I'm just curious if this happened to anyone else, maybe the similarity between names is just a coincidence. The thing is, the email address that I have listed in my CP is my "protected" address, and very seldom, if ever, do I get crap emails to it. As I said, I'm not worried, just wondering...

Nothing here, so far.

Foghat, perhaps you should make your e-mail addy hidden in the PCM User Control Panel. I did.

If some member wants to contact you let him/her do so via PM.

Just a thought.

Nuke, you may be right. On the other hand, I may change it to one of the ones I have specifically for "questionable" contacts, That way, if I get junk, I have some idea where the "referral" came from. I can play this game, too.
