Wanted to direct this warning directly to the organisors of the site but I haven't found out how to contact them directly. Anyway, it is probably of general interest:Yesterday I received a mail from [email protected] with the title "I am a little concerned". Reading through the mail, it turns out that Stustu is very concerned to direct me to some guy named David who offers to help improve my non-existing online business, supposedly for free if I react within 36 hours. And "it is not scam", Stustu says, "he has checked everything himself".... We all receive dozens of mails like that and there is a conveniently located button named "Del" on the keyboard for exactly that kind of mail. In this forum the organisers warn against scam mails from people who fake avsim.com as the originater address. I would like to believe that someone has abused avsim.com. The only problem from my part is that the mail-address to which the scam-mail was sent is a redirect-email address and that particular address has ONLY been used when registering with avsim.com and no where else. I use that kind of mail-adresses to detect who is leaking mail-adresses to spammers. I sincerely hope there is a good explanation?YoursClaus Nedergaard JacobsenDenmark

A while ago, we had a case where somebody who used to be a part of AVSIM got e-mail addresses and "tested" some mailing system. Whether that ties into this in any way, I wouldn't know.

You only registered for the forums yesterday, so unless you had an earlier account, I have no explanation on how your address was obtained. Are you referring to a email address used somewhere else on AVSIM?
