D–
TY. Was looking to ask about this. Could pass-through emails be limited to members or others otherwise signed online?
This particular phisher/spammer wrote me a very complimentary email supposedly replying to my update (link to update was auto-provided) and choosing to contact me after evaluating my profile.
SUGGESTION for T4T USERS receiving odd/complimentary emails:
1. If you don’t know the name, search for it in the T4T Community > Members list. Also, check for reply/update to your post/comment referenced in the email. Check your profile for messages and your inbox.
2. You can also use the FB search for the name or email. That is how I uncovered this phisher/spammer today.
3. Search at email provider if you have an account with that service (eg: R...@yahoo.com)
4. If you were chosen by the phisher because of your profile (particularly if your profile has little info showing)– DO NOT believe it.
ONLINE PROVERBS:
Website support fixes are usually applied after an event.
DISCERN not react.
Be “wise as serpents…”
Respond or not according to WISDOM.
PHISHER: someone who is phishing or trying obtain your email address or other personal information by suggesting they know you or would be a good/useful contact/friend/business; someone looking for others’ ID information for their personal use.
TY, David, I think this is the issue you have reported as resolved. :)
Added the SUGGESTIONS for those who might not have recognized this issue or similar one.
