To the Textual Confirmation Team,
I keep recieving e-mails in my Inbox (...deleted by admin...) saying that my "registration" has been rejected. First off, I didn't even apply to anything, so why am I receiving these messages? It says that my username that I used to try and sign up to *insert place here* is 'DeMossM' or something. Just wanted to know what was going on. Reply soon

Hi Floodclaw,
we don't have any connection to this spam.

You are right, except that there is no need to stole your email address to use it. Put the phrase "email spam my address" and you'll see a lot of comments. For example, this one: http://www.forestsoftware.co.uk/email-forgery.html
You can't stop it. _________________ Oleg Parashchenko, bbAntiSpam

Oh, well thank you for your help. I guess I should better protect my e-mail in the future, no?
In accordance with that, could you please erase the e-mail address from my last post? |

Yes, it's better to protect the e-mail. However, it doesn't give 100% protection. Some viruses look into the address books.
