    Default JUNK MAIL FROM PAFOA.ORG POSSIBLE HACKERS

    Hi all,

    I didn't know where to post this so here it is.

    I got an email from this website, ( I get many ) so it was not a concern.

    Thing is, this was from a member on here and only had PORN asssociated with it. It had a link to a bunch of porn sites.

    The other thing is:

    I DID NOT get this message in my "IN BOX" at the site, just sent to my listed email. However, it was clearly marked as from Pafoa.org-- user name.

    Anyone else get this? Did the site get hacked into for email adresses?

    I believe if you hit the send email to member, and you have the feature activated in your user CP, it sends the email to you under the PAFOA banner.

    This email came from a member and only showed up in the off site email account.

    I did not receive this email here at the site.

    most of the forum got PMs from a spammer, it was not from the site there is a difference.

    I'd assume what happened is you got the PM, so an email was sent to tell you about it. But doug/dan deleted all of the PMs that weren't reacieved yet so that's why when you got to the site it didnt show up.
