If I listed every spam e-mail I received I'd have to list the ones about meeting lonely women in my area, how to make money on e-bay, miracle drugs, cheap DVDs and CDs, financial and insurance advise, surveys about which soda is better, etc. and a really terrific offer from somebody over in Africa to split the inheritance of a wealthy businessman who passed away but his relatives can not be found . . . Did I forget any?

The really weird thing (that I think MC needs to look into) is:
a. How she got her name NOT to appear in the address field.
b. AND (because I got it too!) was her join date!!!

Has someone figured out how to hack MC? This may be something a little more dangerous then just harmless spam! :eek:

These were PMs and E-mails via MuppetCentral.com; not the regular run of the mill spam mailings.

I got one and a PM as well. Just delete them.

Anytime you get mail from someone and the subject line is blank or you don't recognize the sender or the subject's message...delete it.
