Sudden uptick in Spam

[robin416]

Have others on this board noticed an increase in spam mail? I have. There has suddenly been tons of it. I sort of recognize a name here or there but can't quite figure out who these people are. This last one had Jaime Rodriquez as the sender. Sound familiar?

is this to your own e-mail or to the BYC mail box?

My email.

is the e-mail address that you have posted online in your contact me section of your site? if so that could be why... there are programs out there that will search websites for email addresses, and then there are the people that sell their lists

Yes. The thing is I'm getting spam from names I recognize which means someone else's email has been hijacked, not mine.
