AwesomeBantha Posted August 12, 2014 Hello Everyone, Today I checked my spam inbox and noticed that in the past month or so, I've received 54 spam messages. I've never gotten more than 3 spams per month, but I noticed that almost directly after I signed up for EB I started getting ads for "cheap drugs" and fake watches. Has this happened to anyone in the past? Are there any steps I can take to make my EB account more secure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brickdoctor Posted August 13, 2014 First thing I thought of was, did you write out your email address somewhere in an EB post? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AwesomeBantha Posted August 13, 2014 First thing I thought of was, did you write out your email address somewhere in an EB post? No, I haven't given anyone my email at all. Maybe it's something else. I'll try a little experiment; I'll change my EB email to a blank email address. If I get spam, I can trace it back to the EB database. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyDalton777 Posted August 13, 2014 It might just be a coincedance. Check your history to see if there are any unknown sites if the computer is shared. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LOTRfan Posted August 14, 2014 Nope, no spam for me. I think this might just be an unrelated incident, because it doesn't sound like anyone else is getting spam, and why would they target you in particular? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
