Flyer Talk Administrators
I have been receiving unsolicited messages and emails from Flyer Talk members offering business consultation, investment advice and products, offers of time shares, etc.
Why the sudden volume of this unwanted spam suddenly from members ?
Has something changed that I need to be aware of in regards to the use of the forums ?
Thanks.

The solicitations happened to me too... I just joined FT a few days ago. Within literally minutes of joining, somebody asked me (not once but twice) to use their referral link for a new credit card. It was not exactly a warm fuzzy welcome for a newcomer.
I did forward my email to Mia and see that she posted a notice about it. BRAVO!
Hello fellow San Diego person! I just heard on the radio that the airport remodel has opened up one of the new parking lots and double decker roadways are in the works.

MIA as in Miami International Airport, so it was actually he that posted a notice.Welcome to FT, and sorry that someone tried to do an end run! (And, no, I don't want you to use a referral link!)

I always thought he was missing in action.

Oh, a HE! Funny! Thanks for straightening me out. I guess when I've been around a while longer I'll have more of these things figured out.
