Our database with your information is also stored on another server for security purposes.There are countless ways someone can come up with an e-mail address.

Greg, I sent an email to the Webmaster with the details. I understand my email address is public info, but the sender of that email had as the subject line "Sent from RVUSA forum by MR KODJO EMILE", which is why I opened it. Normally, I don't open email from someone I don't know, but with that subject line, I thought it was ok. I assumed it was a forum member sending me a message. Just to make everyone aware of possible fraud and scams and potential viruses being spread via this method.

Hi Greg, I also recieved that same e-mail today from a MR KODJO EMILE and it also said it was being sent from RVUSA. I suppect he or some one registared on the forum just lond enough to collect some of our e-mail address's for this scam. I am not blaming you or this forum, just letting you know what is / has happened, unforturnitly I marked a spam e-mail and it was gone before I took down all the particulars. Thanks GB

Same thing happened to me months ago, when I received email asking for help/money for some guy in Africa trying to get back into his palace....real scam. The email also had sent from RVUSA.
I just deleted it and have not had one since then.

I received the following message this a.m.and deleted it. Obvious Junk. Only good thing that came out of this is junk mail is a reminde to visit RVUSA more often...as I have not been visiting this site for quite some time...but will be back.

I changed my profile to prevent members to sending me email... i suspect this junk mailer hasa developed a program to read all users email ids who have accept emails to build their database.

Hi I just received 1 of those letters too & did a Google search for the name "Miss Esthel" after that & found this thread. Anyhow I believe we're all in agreement here, some con artist is sending out these letters and most probably is making mucho dinero off this pathetic scam of theirs :angry:

Re: Junk/spam email

I got one of those 'sent from RVUSA by bob' messages which was short and insulting. Since rver1967 is not listed as a member, and I can't imagine anything I posted eliciting that particular response, I suspect it was someone trolling for verified email addresses (I was sure attempted to reply to it :)
