Keep posting your email address on public forums. That might help.

Did you guys get the "your Paypal account has been suspended log in to reactivate" thing? It looked very real. I can respect that. If you're gonna scam, you can atleast put some effort into it.

I don't find it funny nor witty. Did you sign him up for spam after seeing his email in the screenshot?

Google does not index the hump.

Well someone defo signed me up after this post.
Can presume someone that has a grudge against me....

Would not surprise me if he actually did it tbh

And FYI. Finding something annoying is not the same as complaining. And this was from 1 company before that prolly had server issues.

So next time you decide and TRY to make fun of me, get your facts right.

And as last, i'm asking you for the first and last time to stop making those with my avatar.

No, I didn't. I have more interesting things to do(that paint job took 10 seconds). I just wanted to show what kind of idiot he is for posting his private email addy on public forums.

And it's also not the only indexing service.

So... you say that other indexing servers go through the humps and use OCR on all images, to send spam to that emails?

BTW these sections are fairly less visited than f.e. the gaming section or even the void. It's one of the places that basically only the core community visits.

I believe the Bitching Session is also open to non reg guests, so if you post it in one of the public forums, there's a good chance it will get snatched up by a bot trolling for new addresses. It seems unlikely that is the case as you already played AoC however, so it probably came from somewhere else.

Alot of game companies like that have personal info leaked or sell it off all the time, whether they tell you lies about it or not. That would be my guess in where the spam is coming from with it being targeted like that.

Ehm, he received funcom spam and said it was probably due to a server error. He posts a screenshot of the spam in this thread and just after posting this screenshot he suddenly receives much more bullshit spam. OK SherlockJ, please elaborate Whirling cane

To be clear i didn't see the original image Razz
I was just speculating in the original case...
