Re: Miss Using Minti

There is a boomerang member who keeps creating accounts in order to spam everyone though Minti Mail.  I have deleted 2 members and deleted the spam mails from everyone's Minti mailbox (but this doesn't prevent the system from sending a copy to your personal emails).  Rest assured that everyone's personal email addresses are still private.

The member apparently came back another time as jennahoward recently and a member has reported her (thank you!).

I am not always on the computer, so should this happen again, please do not hesitate to report members who send spams.

Thanks!

Check the Bulletin Board group. Izzy got on this straight away and deleted the member both times. They (admin) were right on the ball on this one. She also deleted it from all our minti mail inbox's. So no need to worry guys... It went to our minti mail inboxs which forwards it onto our private email addy's.

Me too, lol I got them today from the same "two" women.  I emailed Minti under Support so that I could have a way to forward it to them.  This way they may be able to track who it is.  I have been here a while on Minti and this is the first time I received something like this.  I told them it must be because they getting very very POPULAR!  Anyhow, DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK...best advice I can give...JUST DO NOT CLICK THE LINKS :o)

Re: Miss Using Minti

Hi

I have also got both of these messages. I can't understand how people are collecting our private emails from Minti or accessing our profiles to send out messages.

Have you notified Admin?

Re: Miss Using Minti

Well if you blog someplace else other than here and you have mentioned about Minti that is a possible way they could have gotten your information.  I am sure Minti is doing everything possible to ensure our privacy is not violated but by bringing it to their attention quickly, they can resolve the issue and track whoever is doing it.  I emailed them and asked for an email I could "forward" the emails too them like what paypal or ebay has...spoof@paypal.com   etc  they want you to forward them because they have a way to locate where they are coming from.  hopefully minti has something like this set up as well.  hope it helps you a bit.  and i understand how you feel.
