hrm911 Posted December 9, 2011 I think someone is sending out messages from your forum that have nothing to do with your software. I got a meesage on your forum not requested and not wanted. Do you have somewhere to report that kind of message? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nightowl Posted December 9, 2011 Hi hrm911, I too have received not only a PM here on this site, but also an email which was sent to my private email address, supposedly from forum@SUPERAntiSpyware.com. (That was what was shown in the FROM line in the email). I have sent a PM to an Admin here about this, and asking HOW is it the Russian cretin (using the forum name of SexMailz) who sent this offensive PM & email was able to obtain my private email address from this site...when I specifically have my settings set to HIDE my email address?

I too got the PM notification in my private E-mail because the PM settings are set to do so ( Notify me when I receive a new personal conversation ). The spammer did not get your HIDE Private E-Mail. The problem lays in how the spammer managed to send the PMs to all of us and SAS Forum did not catch it on time. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

06Dolphin_Spirit Posted December 11, 2011 I also got a PM by SexMailz, seems he/she hit the entire forum membership. Is there an option to not accept PMs by anyone other than admins/mods? What I'd like to see is an option to report this kind of messages without having to actually open them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I'd like to see is an option to report this kind of messages without having to actually open them. This has happened before but just seemed to be a one off occurence. Hopefully it will be the same this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
