Jeez, spam is everywhere these days.

 

As more than a coincidence, I started to get about 50% more spam email since I provided my info to a sponsor program. I know this information was sold (despite they indicated that under no circumstances they would sell it), but at least I got something in return.

 

The spam I get in email is crazy, I got this as a degreeinfo PM. Man, stop the madness..

 

Hi David - We currently have 42 members with some permutation of the name "Sam." If you can give me the precise member name then I can try to take care of this particular problem. A PM might be best. Also, if anyone else is experiencing similar problems please let us know. Thanks.

 

That is crazy!

 

Our spammer friend won't be bothering us again (at least not under that name). Please let us know if this happens to any of you in the future.
