    A warning for what may be a problem.

    Today I received an email from:-
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    I've not included the address and link embedded in the message.

    When looking into the source of the message I find all my regular email addresses and contact email addresses are embedded in the data messages.

    I think that if I unsubscribe - as made available at the bottom of the email - I would have submitted ALL of my addresses and contacts to the originator.
    If they then unsubscribe - etc.etc.
    Because the subject matter was Garden Tools / Gardener Gift related I wonder if someone has trawled around Garden sites such as GC for target subjects.
    anyone else received it? If so I would just delete and NOT UNSUBSCRIBE.

    If I'm wrong then I apologise - but I'm not chancing it.

      We have had this Email from Shoot which is a regular Gardening site and I can find no problem with the one we received. It was properly addressed to me at the correct address. I have been to the unsubscribe option and it just offers me the chance to change how they inform me etc. I do not think this is a Spam generator email.
