NotHereToPlayGames Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 I hope that a moderator or admin stumbles upon this post. I have been SOLICITED BY A FRAUDULENT PARTY and it CAME FROM THIS WEBSITE. I hope that a moderator or admin can find out WHO used THIS WEBSITE to send me an e-mail and that this person be BANNED - PERMANENTLY! I do **NOT** want my e-mail address accessible by people that view my profile. I'm not sure if I jumped through all the hoops to set up this preference - as my view is that it should have been the DEFAULT to begin with! UGH!!!
LoneCrusader Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 I received one of these as well. I assume a spammer created an account and used the PM system to send out solicitations. This does not mean that the spammer actually knows your email address, he just abused the PM system. When I logged in the offending message had already been wiped out, so nothing to worry about. Hopefully someone higher up will give us a word on what happened, it's above my pay grade...
jaclaz Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Yep, to clarify, the spammer sent PM's and the board sent notification of the (new) PM to the e-mail address, So, the e-mail address is not viewable/usable by the spammer (or by anyone else) directly, it is the board notification system that actually sent the e-mail. jaclaz Edited March 10, 2020 by jaclaz
UCyborg Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 I see that person must have been already dealt with. Thanks!
