Link warning: counties-surnames

Hear, hear Jap,
I did contact him through the live help - whats not to believe.  Technology does go wrong sometimes you know.  The guy is providing a service and fixed the problem as soon as he knew about it.  I'd rather believe the best of people, and rootschat has born this belief out time and again.

No real harm done, 30 odd emails to delete is not really a big deal.  Carmela are you so sure you didn't add your surnames there.  I'm forever finding new places to register my surname interests, it took me a while to remember that I had put them on this board.

JAP, I believe that you, too, might have been pretty unnerved to receive a message about your 'subscription' from a website you had no recollection of ever joining, along with finding your email address suddenly being broadcast to an unknown number of people.

I'm glad to hear that Malcom Hills is actually one of the good guys, and no doubt he is mortified by this unfortunate episode, but we were not to know that.

You'll note that as soon as I found the problem had been sorted I posted a message to that effect here. He was not online at the time, so I didn't have the opportunity to discuss it further.

Reading this thread it seems to me that Malcolm Hills may well be a victim of some scam.

It is highly likely that the site was hacked and whoever did it sent multiple automated emails to all the addresses it found.  It has happened before (and recently) to more well-known internet sites.
