Inquiring mind wants to know...

Ok then,

I have just received a troubling b-mail. It looks like a blanket letter that may be suspicious. Generally, I am pretty thrilled to communicate with others except this one is a bit fishy.

I like the redbubble community because it is not bombbarded with advertisements and the like. Do I need to report this? Or just ignore it?

AND FORGIVE ME IF THE LETTER IS HONEST. mY GUT SAYS IT IS NOT…

    Kim Davitt also reported a suspicious bmail earlier today. I think it should be reported to RB and if I get one that is what I intend to do. At least their IT people can check it out and clear it or perhaps block it if it’s a danger.

    Thanks for your response. I like the nice quiet art community we have here on the bubble. Not the in your face stuff…

    Leena, you are a sweetheart. It was very stinky. I did report it and got a wonderful response from Faizan Qureshi, which said to report all future questionable mails. Grins and hugs your way. Beth

    Ruthie, I am with you on that one. Instincts… Holy Spirit whispers… Intuition…

    I just love this community.

    Somebody’s phishing for your Email address- that way they hope to find out enough about you to steal your ID. RB MUST be advised about it immediately, and advised again each time it happens to you.

    Dayonda, thank you so much for your responses. Now I know what to do just incase it happens again.

    And they could be phishing for the names and other info of your emailing list. I just noticed that when I went to “email this” to RB, I noticed my brother’s name and a few other people’s names. (I don’t use an email that brings my email into my computer, I use web-based Email. It’s safer and I can access it from different ‘puters.) OK- Dayonda

    Hey, it’s spam and we’re dealing with it as we speak. Please do not reply to it and report everything you get.

    Cheers!

    thank you so much for responding so quickly. I am not in the habit of replying to that type of junk.

    One of the many reasons I love the rb community, is how well it has isolated itself from all the advertisments one sees in other locations.

    Hi Anne, I did report it, and discovered that this rb community is so wonderful. Within 8 hours I received a response from Faizan Qureshi, above.
