Default unsolicited email

I've just received an email about a new forum for aus just wondering if anyone else had received anything like that as I'm always wary of unsolicited mail and the only places that have my email add that are to do with migration are here and dimia

Default Re: unsolicited email

If anyone is getting spam through this forum, especially advertising or directing them to a new forum, could you please forward the emails/pms to either Sue or I, so that we can identify the members responsible for spamming. Any members found to be doing this will be banned.

The email addresses are never given out to anyone, but if the options in your profile are set so that you can receive emails via BE then people can just click on the email option and send stuff to you. They will not be able to see your email address unless you reply to them.

As Pollyana has already posted, we do not share email addresses with anyone. The only email we ever send to members are site updates, the newsletter and, of course, thread notifications (when someone has replied to a thread you have posted in) and even then you have complete control over those and can stop them at any time through your "profile"

It sounds like you were sent the email through your BE contact page. If so please forward the email to me (I'll pm you my email address) so I can ban the member concerned. Can you also let us know the url of the other "aus forum" because its obvious that there is some underhand spamming of BE members taking place.

I have a missus who thought it would be a good idea to answer a "you,ve won $10 million on the lottery" Everyday we have 2 or 3 e-mails from said co and they really piss me off. Any ideas to get rid of them would be grateful:curse:

Do they all have the same email address? If so you could block them or designate them as junk/spam in your email programme.

Bouncing them back to the sender sometimes works too.
