If you check your email and recieve a bad message from the community or the Scratch Team, remain calm and follow these instructions.

1. Don't click the links in the emails.
2. Forward the message to the Scratch team.
3. If possible, check to see if you can find the I.P address of where the email came from.
4. Email this to the Scratch Team too.
5. Run anti-virus software afterwards.

This isn't a duplicate, it never said to forward it to the ST.

The ST haven't decided that. Maybe they do want the forwarded mail, maybe they don't. It's their decision as this is their own site, their own program.

Plus... how does spoof mail, which is unrelated from Scratch, have anything to do with contacting Scratch?

she's assuming that all recent spoof mail is spoof mail from the dude sending naughty stuff to scratch users.

"Naughty stuff"? Did they send a virus or scam or p**n or something?

I think some of it was pretending to be the scratch team, they sent some horrible p*rn stuff, they might have sent a virus although I didn't get anything like that, and they signed some people up for some p*rn site.

Some of the spoof mail claimed they hacked the ST.

Not all spoof mail was pornographic. Some were just threats.

Also, most people are getting the same thing, so forwarding the same thing over and over again, would be useless. Also, the emails seem to come in large groups.

Like, waves?

If you get that I salute you.
If not, I'm not surprised, it's jsut something interesting I noticed.

I swear if I see the word Kaj again I will EXPLODE.

Oh no, I just typed it.

BOOM.

The thing was that some of the emails were posing to become from a user with wave in their name.

Yes, and that user feels terrible about it.

Email spoofs...*shakes head*

But anyway. Something tells me that the naughty images and the threats and the ST-Hacked issue are coming from the same person.

One email was posing it was WaveOSBeta, which is obviously false.

What do you use? There is no "sweep" or "block all" button.
