I am receiving spam from this source!

They are Turkish - they wouldn't see anything wrong in this!

So, if they are getting ad details from this board, are they also able to obtain our email addresses?

If you show your email address in your profile, anyone can access it.

I checked the link & my items are there also!! It has my phone number on there too, although the items are priced wrongly!!



How do we stop this?

Britvic, I don't display my email address in my profile, so where are they picking it up from?

Chris and Sue - dunno -

Complain to Izzet? Though, if anyone can read the board ads, what can he or you do?

Don't suppose it would be against any law in TRNC. Darned cheek though!

If they find a punter, they will probably approach you and demand a fee for 'finding a buyer'.

@ msg 7, Britvic: (...) If you show your email address in your profile, anyone can access it. (...)
