I have received 2 emails from people from this website wanting to exchange pictures and such. here is what the emails say: grant zara sent you a new message:

Subject: HELLO

"Hi, nice to meet you, my name is zara ,I like your profile and i will be very happy if you can contact me with my email address (zara4grant@live.com) so that i can tell you more about myself and also share my pictures with you. I will be waiting for your mail because i don't always log in to this site.take care and God blessed you

I don't know this person and I don't appreciate such emails.

Thanks

Jileah

grant zara sent you a new message:

Subject: HELLO

I will be waiting for your mail because i don't always log in to this site.take care and God blessed you

It kind of looks like someone was trying to bounce it through the bluehost.com smtp servers and just put the Frontiers Saga tag in the subject line and possibly spoofed the email addy (I don't know how bluehost handles system mailing lists). The down side is that they got our email addresses from somewhere... hmmmm

True I wonder how and where they would have got the email address and why would they try to bounce the message through the host website maybe they hacked the user address book for the website ???

I got one as well. They are using the 'send private message' feature on the forums. Which sends an email to you. The hint was the subject "[The Frontiers Saga Official Website] New message from grant zara‏".

Rest assured, we know about it. I got several as well. Since they are coming from the site and not directly to your email from another email, then they have to be thru an existing account.

We are working on it. Worst case scenario, I turn off the ability to send private messages.

The web is a double edged sword.

Mine said the same thing! Is that why we're all here in the frightening, Victorian mansion in New England?
