    Would probably be a good idea.

    At least so that MSE can check out the forum account details/email address and when they registered using those.

    What worries me is how they know my email address. My email is hidden in my profile.

    The more I think about this, the more I am getting worried

    Your sarcasm is noted, but had Lewis adhered to data protection laws and followed best practices I doubt several thousand people would now face years of spam, potential viruses and security issues because of a basic failure to protect data.

    :money:
    Nice one mate - you eat swan, the rest of us eat your spam....

    You posted on here your belief that hackers aren't involved and that Martin Lewis has done it all himself to make a quick personal profit.

    I posted that such a conclusion was music to the ears of any hacker.

    In response, you have now posted a recital of prospective woes and putative penalties worthy of a drama queen.

    Both posts would suggest that you have so many issues with that 'orrible thief Martin Lewis and his website that you'd feel a lot better quitting this place now and erasing any ID/password/email addy details relating to it.
