Did anyone else? I find it absolutely unacceptable for a member to spam others. Opinions?

Yes, it is unacceptable, especially because that member\'s profile is empty (it was probably set up for that specific purpose). Send a support request and report this member. ▲ Collapse

Emails received from my own email address Jan 14, 2010

Today, I received several emails from myself (!) offering me jobs, loans and all sorts of other rubbish. This, I believe, is called 'email spoofing' and is extremely infuriating, not only to myself but also to others that may know me and receive such emails. Does anyone out there know how to put a stop to it?
