We take your email privacy very seriously and have taken measures to secure your email address from would be spammers. We also have not, will not or do not sell your email address. That being said it IS possible that it came from RCU, however it is not spam as you suggest. You have the option to receive email from our affiliates no more than 2 times per month but may elect out if you decide so that is where it may have originated. You may also elect to hide your email address and not allow any person other than administrators to contact you via email. It's important to understand that even if you allow others to email you they do not see your email address until you reply to their message so it remains secure until that point.
Great, thanks for this information, I have checked my profile and had the "Hide Email" option turned off. It is likely this is what the spammer was using since it was an RC targetted email with "throw-away" email addresses (a feature of Mailblocks.com).
To discontinue receiving RCU partner email:
Click My Account > General Settings > R/C Modeling Experience Edit > I would like to occasionally (no more than 2 times per month) receive information about special RC promotions from RC Universe partners.
Was off already.
To disallow your email to be used:
Click My Account > Forum Settings > Allow others to send you e-mail (email remains hidden at all times)?
Off now, thanks again. Sorry for the my alarm bells ringing...
