I didn't get one. I prefer to think it's because I am feared, but I expect it's because I don't get here as often as I should. |

So how did we all get them? Mine came to my "private" email address. I didn't think SFN gave out our email addresses. Can anybody explain this?

It came from our newest member fatu001 - he joined and immediately started spaming us, didn't make a single post. I would guess he is no longer a member.

If you've opted to let other SFN members send you emails (and I can see that you have), they won't know what your email address is, but they can still send you emails through our servers. Messages sent in this fashion will begin:Hello [YourName]
You received the following message from: fatu001 (kone_fatu001@yahoo.fr)
At: http://www.skepticfriends.org/forum/ fatu001 sent me the same email seven times, and also sent it twice to my wife. All sent from the SFN.
She is now banned. |
