Sorry to hear this is happening. Is there and email address attached to the spam

misscharlie it also happens to me i have my email set at just people on my contact list can email me it is babyish to have this happen but there are children that like to play i can play also lol

I guess we have instigators here after all we are higher on the list and others are jealous!

Block them as well as delete...

How immature. One has to feel sorry for people that have nothing better to do than send dumb e-mails. I took mine out of the profile because it can be read without even logging on to the site. Anyone wants my e-mail they can send me a personal note. It makes me sad to see occasionally a post that reprimands the writer for not using the right category.

Sorry to hear that this is occurring. There is always one in every crowd as they say!!!! There is always someone that has to ruin things for other people. I haven`t as yet got any spam mails and hope I never do. I joined this site, for the tips and the projects and find it very useful and everybody is so helpful.. I hope it stops for you...

Ignore it my friend*4U

We do seem to have some that can not play nice, but we have to learn to ignore these things, and you most certainly are doing it by deleting anything like that. I hate to think that we have people here that can be so hateful. This is not what this site has been created for. You do like a friend told me several years ago. "Learn to grow feathers." Special flowers to you. ***

know the feeling
I took my email off as I don't like nasty emails , it has been quite for a while

Miss Charlie, I think this is terrible, and I feel so bad for you and Mary Moore, because if I remember correctly, she had a similar problem. Too bad adults can't be adults. *4U

I don't mind reading this here, because this area is probably where they target us. I took my email off yonks ago. I hope you are resting easier now and not getting any more spam.

How mean. They do say there's always one rotten apple in the bunch. But that means that the majority of us are great, supportive people. ** for you from me.

I am sorry to hear that, as you said, it is pathetic, hope it will stop. *

i'm sorry you have gotten those messages. that isn't right...hope it stops.

What a shame. This place is a friendly site to be. We all are friends and even family; we share our happiness and sadness. Please, we have to be nice with each others. Whatever you are, don't do that anymore please. Charlie is a really nice person, like everybody here and don't deserve that. Flower and XoXo

So sorry to hear that Charlie, you know we care and are hear for you,*4u

I too, am sorry about someone here at cuties doing this to you. I hope they have the good scents to stop it. This site is not a place to do this kind of thing. We are people who what to help others not hurt. Charlie, God Bless you and your e-mail from this kind of mailers, and Dear Lord touch the people who fell that they must do this kind of mean thing. May you put a light of kindness in place of this mean strick that they seem to have in their heart. In the name of our Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen

sorry that this is happening to you!! I dont know why people do this... I get spam to my secondary email all the time as well.. i rarely check it because anybody that wants to send me a real email knowss my primary email!! I hope that this stops for you!!

There always has to be someone out there misscharlie that thinks they are smart and loves to annoy ...try to ignore them and just delete the spam...Hugs and a *...enjoy the weekend...

Misscharilie, Sorry this is happening to you. Some people have nothing better to do than bother other people. It appears they suffer from low self esteem and harrassing others seems to make them feel important, like they have the upper hand over others. We know better than that. Just ignore them. Like my mom always said, "It will all come out in the wash and they will be the dirty socks hanging on the end of the line."

you go girl I agree 100% sorry this happened to you but don't let it ruin your day!

Miss Charlie, I'm sorry that you are having a problem, however, I'm not 100% sure that it can be attributed to someone on this site. My provider, Google, is programmed to put up ads regarding a primary word in the emails I receive and that could be what is happening to you. Some program that is running in the background is picking up on a word or words, and automatically sending you an email. Mark them as spam before you delete and hopefully you will eventually get rid of it. I would think that if someone were spamming from this site anyone who's email address have ever been posted would have been picked up by the BOT.;)

I hope it will stop, but if not, please don't get upset they are not worth it - whoever "they" might be! Hugs and a flower for you.

don't worry your cute little head about it, if somebody takes offense to something somebody may write I feel you should always take it with a grain of salt, you can't hear the tone of voice or see a grin or smirk. We have the right of speech and if somebody doesn't like what you say that is their right but for ever and always it is your right to say it!! SO THERE. Keep smilin we all love ya here, and the spammer is just a lonely little nobody.

I noticed that a lot of long time users here have taken most information out of their profiles.

Now don't waste one more minute of your time on people like that....be yourself and be happy because people who mind don't matter...but to the people who MATTER, don't mind...<br />I saw this posted in an email and it summed it all up when I was having one of those days....A flower for you to cheer you!!

I won't open my mail if I don't know the name or company of who it is .I had a bad experience once to and changed my e-mail. Don't worry pay day will come for them. many flowers for u.

I'm sorry to hear that you are being pestered. I don't know what type of spam you are getting, but I have to admit that I wondered if whoever was/is sending it felt that they were actually trying to help you out. You said (in the comments below) that when you mentioned your dog, you started to get dog-related spam, and your baby lead to diaper/baby stuff-related spam.

I am certainly not saying that it was right/good to send you spam (and it ISN'T ME, I promise!!), but I know at least a few people that would feel proud of themselves for sending what they would think is "helpful information" your direction, to meet a perceived need. Yes, a couple of them ought to be on medication, but that is beside my point.

And at least this spam isn't garbage asking you if you are looking for a "busty, young babe" or the like. Why the h*** do I get so much spam that is aimed at a male recipient? Do I look male to any of you? ;)

I haven't had time to read many posts lately, so I just saw this. I find this type of thing absolutely disgusting and inconsiderate. Some people actually do this as a means of satisfying some perverse psychological need. What is disturbing is that these emails are apparently in response to specific comments made here. Just mark as spam and delete what you do not recognize, that is what I do. We need to accept that anyone can be on this site, and may be shocked if some were known. I do a lot of research that takes me all over the Internet, and some of what I see is almost unbelievable.

Misscharlie, Only nice stuff from me like a big bunch of flowers for being a good friend. **************************************************** :)

Sounds as if someone has a ax to grind or a mighty big chip on their shoulder.

I hope it stops soon, some people jsut never grow up:(

This sort of thing is my pet peeve.

I'm so sorry you are having a problem with people sending you hurtful comments... shame on them! The SPAM you are getting is from people gathering your email address where it's publicly listed. The emails are sent to loads of people, not just you, through mass mailings. That's a primary reason I don't post my email addy. The Federal Trade Commission explains that if you list an email addy you will always be a target for these scams. These SPAMmers often browse sites or join groups and use programs that look for addresses (they search for the '@' symbol or '.com' usually) and gather them all up and sell them to these people who don't care if you want their junk or not... it makes them just a few cents to send it to you so they send out thousands of them (Ever see the scam ads that say make $$$ using your computer at home???). I always try to have a link for a personal message at sites that have that. If nice people contact me I can then write them back if it's bad stuff I can tell the site admin.

As for the chain letters... ask those you know not to send them report the rest to their ISP. These emails are not only a waste of time but sometimes a means to use unsuspecting people to gather email addresses for SPAMmers. Emails saying things like if you forward on a letter some poor girl with cancer will get 50 cents from some big company are a farce! Similar emails tell you of some scary or shocking fact that you must tell others about... The people sending these to others are often being used and made fun of by scammers! When you must forward mail to several people use 'BCC' in the address or everyone gets the private emails of every one else! It's like a disease! If you ask people to stop and they don't report it to their ISP. They will then get a letter from them and if they do not stop they can lose their service. It's harsh but trying to wade through a zillion pieces of junk email are harsh too.

Also beware of people inviting you to join 'Grouply'. This is a scam by which you give a group your email addresses so they can manage your groups for you... AND you have to give them your passwords! Any decent group will ban people using this service and Yahoo groups moderator central has said in their opinion it is a breech of security to use this service because it allows outsiders to 'peep' into your groups without being a member. I just can;t imagine who in their right mind would give strangers their passwords??? Seems silly but it happens.

Remember NEVER ever reply to any junk mail or click on any attachment or link in a letter from someone you do not know.. Heck...just don't even open it! A lot of it is 'Phishing' and if you reply they then know your email is correct and will send you even more garbage even if you ask them to stop. Report it and delete it...

I am so sorry you have been hassled but don't take it personally.... it has happened to all of us at some point in time.
