Allamand Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Dear Alamy team Until today I was not even aware that you have a discussion forum. I received a PM from an individual who insisted I only contact them on a hotmail account. To me this is very obvious spam but it seems that the report button on the messages does not work (possibly because this is my first and possibly only post to the forum). Would appreciate if you can look into this Thanks James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Humek Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I couldn't report her either. A three hour member spamming and requesting personal emails be sent her. Never seen this on Alamy before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDM Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Must be working alphabetically through the forum member list. All reports are from members whose names begin with a,b or c so far. I've not received mine yet. It will be Monday before anybody at Alamy reads the reports I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLSI Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 She (assuming she's a she) is at least as far as CLSI. from: Alamy <memberservices@alamy.com> date: Sat, May 14, 2016 at 2:25 PM subject: rosin started a new personal conversation with you mailed-by: cic08.aws.ipslink.com encryption: Standard (TLS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Chapman Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I got one too. I suspect that some sort of script is being used to generate the emails? Has anyone (inadvertently) replied to see what she wants to communicate about ??? No doubt some scam or other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDoug Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Googling the email address, RosineSmith23@hotmail.com, it appears she sends the same thing to all sorts of folks. As you say, obviously data farming. That, or one very lonely girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
