e___e

My email is being spammed with inappropriate messages! Apparently someone hacked waveOSbeta's email and is using it to send messages to all Scratchers.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Has the Scratch team been notified? And what should I do about it (besides deleting the messages, obviously)?

How many topics will people make about this?
Somehow, I remain unaffected.

I'm sorry. I just moved so I wasn't able to get Internet for a while.

It's not a hack? Then is waveOSbeta doing it on purpose?  hmm

Re: e___e

This is a very common problem. They're spoofing the email. Even the Scratch Team was spoofed a while ago.

I don't put my email out on Scratch, since it contains my last name.

Poor wave. It isn't his fault.

The scratch team has handled it.

I believe the user you speak of may also be getting impersonated. But i have no proof.

Isn't DaGamez on Nation States? Maybe you can ask him about it or something.

Re: e___e

DaGamez has enemies. We can be pretty sure that whoever is doing this is one of them.
  Come to think of it, wave and DaGamez have a common enemy...

Yes, the Scratch Team has been notified (see andresmh's sticky).

Most e-mail systems allow you to flag messages as spam to improve the spam, so do that. Also, it seems that whoever is spoofing e-mails are taking advantages of areas where e-mails are exposed (for example, you know when Scratchers created their own forums? Some of these forums have e-mail services which can be easily used to send spam), you'll probably want to find a way to hide/remove your e-mail if it's exposed somewhere where trolls can see it.
