Alert: spammer emails

[VickiK]

Good morning,
I received 3 emails from the website that looked like someone replied to a thread I was following: "VickiK, jody Scimone replied to a thread you are watching at TheSkiDiva.com."
The content was suspiciously like an advertisement, but otherwise the email looked like it was coming from skidiva.com. When I clicked on the Reply button, I was taken to the thread, but there was no post by jody Scimone, it was a pretty old thread too. I figure this is spam. I didn't want to tag it as spam, because all legit emails from skidiva would be marked as spam too.

The content is this:
"Hello, you need to check out SkiXtreme @ www.skixtremeworkout.com
this machine is amazing!! Works legs,butt,core and balance FAST! 15 mins every other day have toned and strenthen my SKI body! Being in shape is your best bet for skiing!!! This Machine has a ankle workout!"

I'll send ski diva a document that has some screenshots. I'm just deleting these emails for the time being.

MOD note:

VickiK - thanks, I deleted all the posts this morning because as you say its spam. If anyone has set up email notifications, you will still get the email, so just ignore it.

The e-mails were legit the spam part was someone posting that reply to several threads.

Thanks for letting me know about this. I think we've been lucky so far; we haven't had this happen before. I've deleted the offender's membership, so we should be okay.
