Angry Email accounts not secure

This site has virus....email acc'ts broken into.
I'm getting what look like replies to old posts but they that are full of links to product sites and not a reply at all.
To-day I got 2 separate emails from what looked like a reply to a Peach Parts forum post but when opened are just a ton of links to Swarovski Crystal and another to pandoralife.
Somehow my email address has been stolen from this site.
What is going on....I am blocking all emails from Peach Parts.
This site can't be trusted.

Without seeing said emails, I would tend to believe that your email account and all it's contents have been harvested.

Best to send an email to the webmaster though, and make sure that the offending items are not being generated here.

No worries here. I don't get emails from PP, unless I've ordered something.

Yeah....the highlighted pelican thread does ....but it's the other ones that start with http............that are highlighted links in the original email. It doesn't come through that way when I cut/paste it into this thread.
Weird....very strange.

I never get Emails from here...... Remove the check marks on 'Receive Email from Administrators' and also from 'receive email from members' in your user options. See if that clears it up.

I think the problem is generated at Brain McL's computer - if running windows get some spy ware software to clean it all out.

I've had a few attacks come from this site. My virus protection caught them though.
