Re: Scammer claiming to be a phpBB developer
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.

Re: Scammer claiming to be a phpBB developer
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.

Re: Scammer claiming to be a phpBB developer
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

Re: Scammer claiming to be a phpBB developer
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?

Re: Scammer claiming to be a phpBB developer
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.
