GrandmasterP Posted October 25, 2013 I've had an email from someone called Laotan offering me a $25 online, presumably; correspondence course in Taoism. My concern is twofold. 1 Laotan presents him/ herself as someone officially connected with TTB. 2 How has Laotan obtained my email address? Â Any advice appreciated. Best Regards to all.

BaguaKicksAss Posted October 25, 2013 If it's that email which is shown right away on the first page of your website (which you have linked to in your profile), then that would be how they got your email addy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrandmasterP Posted October 25, 2013 Well that makes sense. Many thanks. I had forgotten that my email addy was on here. Will need to change that. Best Regards GMP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrandmasterP Posted October 25, 2013 Just checked that. The only contact details on my Profile is our centre link. Not my email addy. The TTB techies are onto this I have sent the email to viator. Advice seems to be DO NOT click onto the link or reply direct any email from Laotan. Luckily I didn't do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaguaKicksAss Posted October 25, 2013 I get Taoist spam once in awhile in one of my emails, not mentioning TTBs ever though; I think they found me through FB and just spam everyone on BKF's friends list... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted October 25, 2013 I see no member in the member list by that name. Likely it is some spammer who somehow got your e-mail address. I doubt there is any connection of that person and the TaoBums. Keep your $25. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt there is any connection of that person and the TaoBums. Keep your $25. Or send it to me. I'll give you an online correspondence course in Taoism AND will hook you up with the Nigerian Minister of Finance, who happens to be looking for someone to accept a $25M wire transfer... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
