Freakin' Spam

azoomm · 03-06-2009, 11:30 AM

Anyone else getting SPAM from their CF accounts? I have logged into that account only for the purpose of turning off email notices - I HAVE turned tem off. And yet, this is what I get. Mind you - I've had a few a week. And, they continue to get emailed to me. Is it their method to get me to log into their site?? What the hell....

Oh that's right... I guess one more subtle reminder you should leave that place for good.

It's got to be one of the admins doing it. Just don't worry about it, let the pm box fill up if they keep on with it. They're making you give them a hit count knowing you don't want to.

Stew is not Admin

He is Adnim

I guess I'm to blame for the SPAM too, huh??

I got some last week too - I just deleted the emails. I won't even log in anymore. Just wanted to see if it was just me...

I was getting email notifications for a while, but they seem to have dropped off now.
