Anyone receive an email beginning with the email address below today?

xiptraining@

This person is a member and sent me an unsolicited email that has nothing to do with Whalers.
This is not tolerated here on WhalerCentral.
Whether it is just me, or other members.

If you did, please let me know by voting.

Joe. It's possible his email got hacked. It happened to a few of my friends. They just go in and reset password and it stops. Not sure how it happens. To answer your question no I did not receive an email from that address.

Thanks Scott.

Yes, I am familiar with many of these things. Heck, I even get spam email from my own email address that I didn't send to myself.
Someone just uses my email address. I have seen this happen frequently for many people. And even much worse even though the password was not compromised.

Could be like you mention but that would be a little odd.
Will give him a break unless I hear more from others.
We have had some from others in the past and that is why I am asking on this one.

This particular member has that email address and he has the same website that the email wanted me to visit.
I don't believe in coincidence too much.
But, as long as the majority of us aren't getting spammed, then it might just be me as the target for some reason.

Having the same website is different. Maybe I misread your post (on my phone these days). I agree. Doubt that's coincidence.

No, I didn't give all the details.

From the vote, it looks like I am the only one.

Thanks to all that voted.
