Ask a Question
Did you get a creepy email saying they found you on WBC??

I checked my messages this morning, and had a weird email... i was a little thrown off by this, specifically because the found it on WBC!!

Did any of you get this? Is there a way to report it? Was a little creeped out by it.

I'm sure its junk but the fact that it mentioned the website... uh didn't like that so much! Guess we need to be more cautious when leaving our emails...
wbc, email, safety.

I haven't got any mail like that but it is truly creepy. I think you should send an email to the moderators of this site telling them of the mail. Maybe they can track down who sent it.

I don't think I got that e-mail but I do recognize that name. I just quickly delete my junk mail and don't really read into it.

@futuremrsa - the person had an yahoo email, so im sure it can be tracked somehow, but there is always so much junk email going around not sure if it would be seen as anything serious

@ Tasha I actually did sent an email to WBC advising them of the situation, and so if the person was a registered member under that email they'd have that and could handle however they sought fit, but would at least be aware of whats going on.

I wouldn't have thought twice about it being anything other than normal junk mail,  if they hadn't mentioned WBC. I think I watch too much CSI and create scenes in my mind of what COULD happen, and expain too much too my daughter of all the creepy stalker people online... HA

So to the creepy stalker lady if you read this - dont email me -

please and thanks.

WOW that's crazy. Guess Mark is right to be a bit paranoid about the info you put on here.

Glad you emailed WBC.

I think alot of stuff goes to my junk mail. I set up my email pretty tight.. but that is creepy.

WOOZERS!!! I got the same one! But the really ODD thing about it is that the e-mail came to my personal e-mail not the one I have set up for WBC creepy!

@ trulyblesses - Thats EXACTLY what it did to mine too!!  I set up a separate email acct, for all the messages and updates on here as my regular inbox was overloaded, and this one is to my personal account!   My only guess is that they snagged it off of a comment i left somewhere.

Yeah I think it is more from leaving your email on a comment, asking someone to email you something... we may forget and use our personal email that way..

Yes very good point Tasha because I got it to my personal as well, so that makes sense as my personal email is not linked to WBC.

YES...I got one a few weeks ago and then again this morning. Just delete it...becaused if you reply back, then they have your email address. They are contacting you thru the "contact me" button (which they can't  see email addresses).

People are dumb!

I did get 2 but it's weird because I got them on my email NOT associated with WBC.  I use this email for work and never have put it on anything WBC.  Execept when I bought stuff off of brides on here.  My paypal is connected to that email.  UHMMMM!!!

It's spam.  Delete it.  Even if WBC bothered to find out who it came from, what are they going to do?  There's nothing that they can do!  "Rose" didn't break any laws, didn't threaten anyone, didn't do anything immoral or illegal.  She simply sent out an annoying message, the same as dozens most of us get on a daily basis.

CHILL AND DELETE!  lol
