E-mails From Members

[ThaiPauly]

I have just noticed a message in my "Junk Mail" folder which says

Thailand Forum......Hello I am a New Member.

I am a bit suspisious of this e-mail and have not opened it.

Firstly all the messages from Thailand Forum go strait into my in-box, not junk mail.

Secondly , why would someone who is a new member send me an e-mail?

Can anyone at the forum help desk please advise me what to do?

It's probably from Dave5stars trying to sell you some real estate.

14 posts in 24 hours. Hmmm!

Please report any emails which come from ThaiVisa members which you suspect could be spamming by using the report function button.

TP, you can also turn off the ability for members to contact you by email. In your controls --email settings.

***oops my bad, no its not in there. Hang on, let me look again

***edit*** Ok, I am sure I saw that someplace, but can't seem to see it now. I'll ask admin

Believe that is for PMs. However you can make your e-mail address not viewable which is probably the safest anyway.

PF....I don't know if its SPAM because I am too afraid to open it as it may contain a virus.

So I dont think I will, anyone who really wants to contact me for whatever reason normally uses PM's anyway

you can open the mail - it won't cause you a virus. Only if you click on an attachment or smth to that effect.
