Exclamation Spammers Can Get Your Email - Do not post it, use the PM function!!

Hello guys.I just thought i should bring the forums attention to this.Be careful when replying to threads and posts on TWF with your emails being visible,it is making it an easy target for the spammers,i have been contacted 3 times now from some bogus companies...
I think its wiser and safer to use the PM
Just thought i drop it in

Spam bots always surf online forums to pick out email addresses. That's the only reason why every forum has a PM system so as nusaint said, don't post your email addresses.

I have even worse problems - with four or five websites, each displaying email addresses (naivety - long ago), I get somewhere in the region of 2000 spam emails per day!

Penis extensions, ED meds and ways to satisfy my girlfriend - I am exhausted!

The last time I crossed into Burma [Myanmar] the first of the many "salesmen" approached me offering a woman and viagra in that order... I didnt get a chance to respond.... my wife handbagged him and said "he dont need either"....... and dragged me away .... I was about 16 stone at the time and my wife 6 stone.... it must have looked like a bull being dragged by a mouse.
