    I just received an email addressed to Digital Point Members and it was sent to my 'digital point' email address. (I always use a unique email address for each forum, website that I sign up for.)

    Are these being sent to other digital point members? Is it actually something from DP?

    I didn't get anything. Actually I don't ever remember getting any spam from DP.

    Quite possible - just the first time I noticed that they were advertising Digital Point, etc

    I've started getting lots of junk mail to my email address on account with DP here. But I just started getting ones mentioning DP within the email.

    Example...

    Anyone having similar issues?

    I received the same e-mail, also to my e-mail address on file with DigitalPoint.

    Coincidence?

    I got the same email as well but did not open it for fear of the titles contents :)

    Luckily it went to the spam section of gmail :D

    I got it too. I think they spammed everyone who haven't hidden their email address here on DP.
