Sandi, I was the one who removed that message from the forum right away. Another member on the individual email distribution list had seen it and contacted me off-forum just as I went on-line and saw the message too. I put the sender in an moderated status and contacted Sandra. That member had been a member for quite some time, but had posted only one short message that allowed her to be removed from the original moderated status, Sandra took the next step and banned the member from the forum.

If you had seen the other old unmoderated T@B trailer group, you would have seen a tremendous amount of these inappropriate messages. Yahoo has stepped up its efforts to prevent these types of messages, and our screening process for new members eliminates most all of them. Occasionally, one will slip through when a valid member's email address is "spoofed," and used to post these types of messages. We encourage members not to respond to them, and contact Sandra or me off-forum so we can take appropriate action, as Sandra did. That will kill any more discussion of the matter on-forum.

Sandra, after I clicked on the message it took me to some pharmacy selling Viagra and oer related drugs. I sent that address to my spam, would that have knocked it out of the regular messages?

I don't see the message here in our 'messages' nor did it appear on my individual emails. Perhaps your name was picked up in a group somehow. Sorry.

We try very diligently to keep these types of messages off our website, but have no control over someone picking up another email address and using it to spam us. For any message you receive - if you don't recognize the sender or if the spelling is really strange - don't open it.
