I am getting spam from someone that is using the LAD site name in the emails they are sending out. Is anyone getting these emails?

I am having our provider look into this and see what I can do about it. These emails do not have anything to do with LAD and I suspect at this point that someone that does not like LAD has given our name to a spammer to use.

Blessings.

You represent LAD by permission, so that is ok. This is spam, coming from various email accounts as though it is coming from a LAD member.

Something like this:

so-and-so @ LAD Forums

The emails list addresses for various car dealerships and services.

Most spam I receive has my email address incorrect: avid@xxxxxxx instead of david@xxxxxxx suggesting that it all stems from one original source.

Yeah, I here that Inv. That is exactly how the emails I am getting are coming. What bothers me is that they have the LAD.org thing on them. And I am hoping that no one else is getting these, because they are not coming from LAD.

They are like this: whodoyouknow @ LAD.org
and: joepotatoehead @ LAD.org

All of the emails have a space in between the name and the @, and a space between the @ and LAD.org


Blessings and thanks for posting. :clap:
