Re: Warning - Spam Private Emails To GUU Members
I don't know what has happened, but starting about 2 weeks ago, my email account has been deluged with spam. I've gotten about 25 emails per day, from the old Nigerian King story to winning the English lottery to one that said it was a job offer from AIG! (I delete them so fast that I didn't get a chance to open the job offer.) I'm a peaceful guy by nature, but I'd sure like to meet up with whomever sold my email address to these scammers in a dark alley with my Jim Rice bat in hand!

Re: Warning - Spam Private Emails To GUU Members
As many have already seen, this is the reason Game Used Universe is so adamant about protecting the privacy of its members. Needless to say, we do not compromise the privacy of those in our database. In addition, if anyone receives any undesired and/or unsolicited emails from any member who pulls your email address off the site (we cannot control members publicly posting their email addresses on the site) just let us know and the member sending the unsolicited emails will be banned from GUU.
Sorry to have to post about something so unpleasant on Thanksgiving but I also get spam emails myself it is not something we condone or will allow through GUU.
On a more positive note, I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!Christopher Cavalier
