This is one of the worst websites that spamers use personal info
Please be aware that ever since I have joined this forum I have countless amounts of spam emails
here is an example
janetm from Flag Counter Forum has sent you a message. You can reply to janetm by replying to this e-mail.
The message reads as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello dear

if you care. I have important reasons to request your interest.
I will explain more of my self as soon as i hear from you.
I will be waiting to hear from you at
( janet2mola@yahoo.in)
Thanks
Janet.
even if my details are private they can find my email address
please work to fix this

Was this spam sent to promote the Crime Case Files?

Defiantly not !
I dont need to spam, I have nothing to sell
and it is in my signature not the post, will every post I make be seen as spam?

I received it, too. If you are a forum poster, a link to email you is below your avatar. Not sure if they are doing it one at a time, or somehow find a way to do it en mass. This individual just joined yesterday (11/19) and have apparently already been quite prolific in emailing stuff out.

Re: This is one of the worst websites that spamers use personal info
As an update to all: you have to have a valid email address, but in your privacy options (in your profile), you can elect to not display a link to your email in the forum. I recommend switching that setting if you want to help avoid spam emails... although it will also result in valid folks not being able to email you, too.
