  • Good point Misstress, your post made me remember I have 2 MSE usernames (forgot one of them at one point!). Both were registered pre-2010, however I received the dodgy email at the address where I get the weekly emails but not at the other address, where I'm not signed up. Hmmm!

    Not seen anything. I've been away from MSE a fair while, so don't know if that is significant.

    I don't know how to answer this.

    I received an email to Frantic Female at an email address I don't use for MSE, plus I don't have a user name Frantic Female.

    Whoever FF is she(?) has only 2 posts, and got a very strange reply from on the posts made, very confusing I'm obviously missing something.
    Wow, I got 3 *, when did that happen :j:T:p
    It is not illegal to open another persons mail unless you intend to commit fraud - this is frequently incorrectly posted:)

    So that's 2 then, might be looking like people who receive weekly emails only got the spam email?

    Anyone else care to confirm if they have not signed for the weekly mail and not received the dodgy email?

    I have'nt signed up for the weekly emails, nor have i received anything like this before, ( i have received an email, but not sure how dodgy it is ). Let mse decide.

    I get the weekly email on a different account to my forum email (actually an old address)

    I got the spam to my old address (forum)... although that address probably was used for weekly emails at one point, I've used the new one for a good year.

  • Hi
    if it is of any help, I am not signed up for the weekly email and haven''t had the spam email either.

    There was an email address posted by MSE staff to send it to

    i think it's

    [EMAIL="webmaster@monseysavingexpert.com"]webmaster@monseysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL]

    but dont take my word. wait for someone to confirm it correct.

    EDIT: I was correct. On the first page of this thread it states to forward the message to this address

    hope that helps

    No, it isn't. It's money, not monsey ;)
