Re: Possible profile theft...
 

That is why I deleted my personal email from the user profile and have very limited info in there as well..

It's really a damn shame that we have to guard ourselves against a$$holes that do this crap!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

Re: Possible profile theft...
 

I've been getting a bunch of spam lately too but I'd be surprised it could ever be worth someones' time to manually pick through our profiles here just to send this crap...or maybe I'm wrong and true my Johnson isn't really satisfying my woman afterall either?.

You have to make sure your e-mail is not on your profile or else you will get a ton of junk or spam mail. And sucks but also no personal stuff either https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif As of this minute I just counted 138 Anonymous users viewing peoples profiles. Its 8:39 am here in chicago https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

Re: Possible profile theft...
 

Currently, you *must* be logged in to view profiles...a lot of those anonymous users are "search bots" (the ones on now are specifically Yahoo bots)...how they're seeing the profiles I don't know, but I'm finding out.

Also, unless you've manually changed the way your "public" email address is viewed by the public, then you should be safe from these bots...when you register, if you select to show your email addy to the public, the forum software automatically sticks in _removemefirst in your email syntax (look @ my profile) so the email becomes invalid to the bots/spamware, but users can easily see to take out that part before sending an email...or at least that's how it's *supposed* to work, as one of my regular questions is "why can't I email so & so, or my email address is wrong"...!

It's probably just the government looking for "muscle car terrorists".... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I deleted my email address just now...but I don't think it will do much...our names and info are out there on lots of sites....Karen says I get lots of junk mail because of the car stuff....maybe she is right https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Re: Possible profile theft...
 

Then lets make them pay up and become members to see that info. That should slow down the curious lurker and yahoo!

Ahh, back to normal, for now...

Probably just IRS agents trying to figure out where all the mattress money is https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
