Title: Eastern Front spam??????!
Post by: pariah on April 08, 2011, 09:14:37 PM: Over the past few hours i have been getting many queer and nonsensical spam letters in my electronic mail inbox, and i have no idea why. They all came from this address:
<yankfanw28@optonline.net>
It took me a long time to think of where i know that address from, and then i remembered... It was from when i donated to Eastern Front! So could somebody please explain to me why the hell i keep getting these letters?!

Disable this for your account to get rid of the spam.

Post by: pariah on April 08, 2011, 11:23:21 PM: O.K., i haven't gotten any more of that spam since i disabled that electronic mail thing, so i think it worked. Thanks Rizz. I'll let you know if it happens again, though.
