Thanks Rich.

Yeah got one of these emails the other day, straight into the trash

I've gotten at least 1/2 a dozen of those emails over the last week.
Was wondering what's up, all my forums are up to date!

Thanks for the heads up.

Someone that Im building a website with received one of these emails. Not thinking he game someone the credentials to log into the host. Lets just say they basically made our website their own, before I even had released what had happened.

Got my first one today.... sooooo special! :puke:

Got one today also. It was pretty funny too.

Maybe Rich is the masked man? Looking for work Rich?

For free

I've not received any recently, but I bet I'll get one about paying someone to upgrade my boards to 3.0.9 at some point.

Any emails like this I tend to junk as I do all the work required myself in my spare time

just got one. The thing is that I don't understand is how they get email addresses. Is this something that they can do on phpbb?

No they are probably using the email addresses that they acquired when phpBB.com got hacked via phplist which is what they were using for sending out mass emails.
