Hi Siren,

Please check your settings under "User CP" here in the forums, then go to "Edit Options."Look for "Messaging & Notification" and look to see if "ReceiveEMail from Other Members is checked. Next you need to check your profile. Go to the home page http://www.pleoworld.com/ then "My Profile & Plog" then "Edit Profile" Check there to see if "Allow other Pleo owners to contact me..." is checked.

If these are turned off in both places and you still received EMail please contact Customer Support.

You're welcome, Raine. At least this spam was just about World of Warcraft. I wanted to let you know before they started spamming the kids here with explicit words and pictures.

Thank you for making this such a great family friendly site!

Hi Siren and Angelik_Fiona,

You have our sincerest apologies. Please know that this matter is of utmost importance to UGOBE and we were discussing methods of how to locate and stop it.

what did it say:D??!!? the only thing that I ever got, "witch I wasn't sure if this guy was lying or not" was some guy said he worked for a technology review and wanted to interview me about pleo, I replyed with a who are you, and where will this interview be? he never responded. hmmm..:D!!

It was literally gibberish. Most of it looked like shoddy HTML tags and they kept mentioning Google.

WoW gold is just fake money you use in the game World of Warcraft. Like when you kill monsters and sell stuff your character makes, you make fake money to use in the game.

Thats the basic idea of it yes but since so many people play the game its turned into a WoW economic issue and I you not on that.

As seen here if you click : D (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/antigold.html)

I play WoW any and all gold I have ever collected I have collected through my own efforts. Besides, the idea on spending real money to get what is virtual Monopoly money is just really really stupid.

OFF TOPIC:
I used to play WoW and still have characters..........my brothers are adicted to it and spend every second of every day on it
