Allamand 2 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 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian Humek 4 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDM 1,072 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M.Chapman 1,142 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Pimborough 127 Posted May 14, 2016 Yes also received - the problems with open forums that are easy to sign up on. "Hello, My name is miss Rosine, i saw your profile and it drew my attention to write to you. I would like you to communicate me through my e-mail address (RosineSmith23@hotmail.com) Rosine" Also got the exact same email obviously data farming Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DDoug 2,899 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
