| Spam again Just got a pm from awataqt wanting me to go to (REMOVED LINK) What's going on with this stuff. It seems to keep happening. What is the solution? Closing my account? Disappointing!

| Changing the subject for a minute....are you ladyjane-2006 on ebay? I googled a question today about ebay shipping and what came up was a response from ladyjane-2006 who has a figure of a dog on her account

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | It's been reported and the person has been banned. No biggie. What do you mean it "keeps happening"? When you get spammed at your personal email account, do you close your email account? I'm confused as to why this is such a big deal...what am I missing here...?

I had typed a similar response and then deleted it ... I started wondering if she had been hacked. It didn't make any sense to me. We rarely get these and it is pretty easy to report it and move along. *shrug* No harm is done.

| I could get spammed and not know it. If I don't recognize the sender and subject and am not expecting an e-mail from that sender, I simply hit delete. That is probably 90% of my e-mails. Several years ago, I changed my e-mail address because it was getting so bad. It worked wonders. Went from over 300 e-mails a day to about 30. I rarely click on a link from anyone. |

| My friend told me a long time ago to never click on a link I was not familiar with....I got myself in a huge mess flitting around, clicking here and clicking there....so I dont do that anymore! I posted about it because I could not find the report button! I just delete it and on my email when I get the notification that I received the "pm" from the unknown person, I hit report spam on my computer.....have no idea if this is doing any good, but I do not open any of those links from unknown people. |
