Not sure I'm a "vigilant poster," but the same SPAM hit Ken's boards-and when he directly asked the offender, "mike," was told (by Mike), that his email address had been illegally appropriated to send out the crap that was flying. Dunno (and neither does Ken) if this is true or not. All I DO know is that among 20 or so "sites" about half were pornographic related, although they didn't post obscene pix (and yeah, I did click on a couple--but certainly not all. I also clicked on the legit sounding ones, and for the most part, they were--wasn't some kind of nasty content). So far, I have not been SPAMMED by porno-site invites, or anything else weird. If it is true SPAMMERS can take someone's email address and send out stuff under their names, that it really scary, and makes me less likely to leave my email address anyplace. Just my 2 cents...my usual SPAM is about 80% out of country "pharmacies" offering ED meds, or pain killers (of the non-narcotic type--usually Canadian). Also get the usual re-mortgage your house,or invest with us kind of things. And a bunch masquerading under "order numbers" which I KNOW are fake-o come-ons, as I don't have a bunch of order numbers out there. Too bad this is the rule of the day these days.
