Spam using forum address?
 
#1
0  
Has anyone else received any Nigerian 419 type spam using their Ritlabs forum email address?  The one I received was in the guise of a Private Message but as far as I can tell there is no PM functionality on this forum.  Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards,

Jeff Kogler

No, not over here.

The only PM option you've got on this forum is to press the 'Send E-Mail message'. That way you'll get web form that you can fill in.
The recipient gets an e-mail with a subject starting with: 'www.ritlabs.com: [private]'

It's very unlikely that somebody staets sending you spam n this way.

Well that is what has happened.  I sent myself an email from the forum and the format is the same as the spam mail.  They have used the email facility of this forum to spam me at my email address.  I can post the offending email if desired.  Or I could provide the address the mail appears to come from so that if it is this parties Ritlabs forum address they can be deleted from the membership.
