Rubs 1373 Report post Posted February 9, 2016 Over the last couple days i have received an email from a lady? asking me to email her so she can tell me more about myself. it says it saw my profile and wanted to contact me. Yes I know there are all kinds of spam that can see your email and this email had some odd grammar and spelling mistakes. far wore then what I compose. But mentioned a massage parlour or a group of them based in Ottawa. So it would seem to me that someone working for them has bad edict randomly soliciting themselves. Or that group has been hacked and looking up client emails. Not that I actually consider myself a client there. Anyone else have this problem. I wont post persons name or the business name. I didn't respond to the email just deleted it. Curious has anyone else had this issue? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amanda-Lee 11094 Report post Posted February 9, 2016 Have you called the agency themselves to let them know the email you did receive? Letting them know you got a badly grammar e-mail, then ask if they normally send those type of e-mails. If they say no, the chances are it was hacked. You should call them and notify them.

Interesting...i recently received a text message from an unknown source saying "hey babe" I did a reverse lookup and the number seemed to have been attached to a spa at some point...wonder if this is related.

fortunateone 156618 Report post Posted February 10, 2016 i have an sp friend who's name is being used in sending out emails. when i look at the source email address, it is not hers, but the name she puts in her own email account shows up as the sender just like hers. You might want to be looking for the email account before opening it and if it doesn't match who it says in the senders name field delete and block.

Hector17 9215 Report post Posted February 10, 2016 Haha...I beat you guys out...she is being held in an African country, and is in the process of sharing the $2.7 million her father left for her in European bank accounts. All I have to is help her syphon the $ thru my accounts here and get the funds back to her so she can get out of her situation and continue her studies.;-) 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't respond to the email just deleted it. Curious has anyone else had this issue? I think I received the same email. On the surface, it appears to be an MA looking for business. The return email address is not a SPA account. I think it might be an ex SPA employee that collected email address' from those subscribed to the ALO newsletter.

Grass_Hopper 18263 Report post Posted February 22, 2016 Best thing to do is not opening unsollicitated e-mail, and click the ''block'' box. Than, contacting your favorite sp, and foget about the rest... ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
