hi there,

i m sooooo upset coz it seems that sth wrong is going in this forum. Recently i ve received emails from ppl who claimed to be from Ivory Coast asking me to assist them investing their huge inheritance (some 10 millions) from their killed dads in my own country. these emails are really bothering. they dont stop flowing into my emails. they said my email has been taken from computer hope forum

Kindly i request administrators of this site to protect our privacy and block others from seeing our emails.

your response is highly appreciated!!

Best Regards,

There are a few other occurences with other members, as well:

If you can add anything there that the other members having spam problems haven't, I'm sure they would be appreciative.

Moderators can only do so much- and the e-mail addresses they are being sent from are varied and none correspond with the e-mails of members who have recently joined, which makes locating (and subsequently banning) the member harvesting e-mails difficult.

which is weird, since members cannot view other members E-mails unless they have explicitly unhidden them....

big surprise... daffodial's E-mail has been set to be viewable.

mystery explained.

I got the same spam emails from the same person. Try going into your account settings and remove your email from being seen

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #7 on:** January 15, 2009, 07:35:37 PM »

they aren't very smart. I have my e-mail set to hidden- but they could have easily gotten it from my MSN.

Probably some kind of bot.

I used Chrome, and I got you well

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #15 on:** January 15, 2009, 07:48:51 PM »

No results.

come to think of it, this may explain why I've never gotten any actual spam messages before.

what was Computeruler's email again? [email protected]?

Is this some crazy scheme to get all out information into google for your crazy money-making schemes? I still think Grain futures are a far more stable investment.

you will pay dearly. their Chrome scheme will come to fruition faster then you can say "I'm about as sharp as a bowling ball".

Of course I prefer the far more stable grain futures.

computeruler · « **Reply #27 on:** January 15, 2009, 08:08:05 PM »

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #28 on:** January 15, 2009, 08:09:04 PM »
