Just received a spam private message on this forum. This is a first. Is nothing sacred?

Never had trouble here, but Yahoo groups is a mess. I had to really tighten up my spam filters after getting 50-100 junk emails a day.

I also had my first spam PM here. My Yahoo account has been hacked a couple of times this summer. I got notices from Yahoo and have been made to change passwords to make the account work. Things have been much better for me since quitting Facebook as it was also linked to my Yahoo account and seemed to be where the problems came from. Spam is also showing up on other Yahoo Thunderbird forums as well, but I do not recieve individual e-mail from them. We must be careful and not open anything without thinking about what it may be.
PLEASE invest a few bucks and buy all the shop manuals for your car. Definitely will save you much time and be an education.

I received a pm to win an iphone free. I deleted it because it seemed like a stretch that VTCI would be giving away phones.

Yeah, it's not from VTCI, guys. Sorry about that. This is more Terri's territory, and she's been made aware of the situation...

I guess I must have dared fate, I got the I-phone spam just awhile ago in a PM. If I want an I-Phone, the last place I'd go is to some A-hole that spams me (just sayin')

Hmmm, don't remember, deleted it when it came in but showed up as a PM. when I saw the subject I just toasted it. Perhaps someone else will get it and note the sender.
