That �s why people shouldn �t post their e-mail-addresses in the forum!
There are programms which can select them and use them for spamming people. E-mail-addresses should always only be passed on through the PM-system - never in the forum or the comments.
In the PM it is similar. Who is pretty often present in the forum will probably get more spams on the PM. Of course this shouldn �t discourage people to help though!!!
Just my two pence worth... |

Also be sure you are using passwords on all of your accounts that are not in the dictionary. That also means, two or three dictionary words put together. There are hacking programs that can decipher dictionary entries. Try using capitals and lower case, and numbers. One option is to use the first letter of each word of a phrase you will remember. I once accidentally selected something that fell in the dictionary and found airline tickets on my credit card account. |
