    Anyone getting spam to their POL email?

    The only time I've ever used my POL email account was to send screenshots when I was still playing on the PS2. And yet recently, I've received two gil selling spam emails from the same outfit on my POL email account.

    Has anyone else been getting hit with spam on their POL email? I haven't a clue how they even got my POL email address.

    Let me guess, the one with the @gmail.com address?

    I've gotten them as well, I don't think I have my POL email on any forum accounts I have though. Maybe I should check.

    I signed up for for the email filter from Playonline Plus, its free so no reason not to get it. I reported the spam from last week to STF.

    Edit: checked all my forum accounts on KI, Alla, BG, LBR and my LS forums past and present. I never used my POL address for any of them.

    If you have your POL profile public, you may want to make it private because RMT might be going through the Friend Search fuction on POL to collect names and email addresses.

        I hadn't logged into POL since April 20th of this year. I log in today and see 80 new message. All spam.

        Lovely.

          yeah, my POL account has been full of spam for a long time. Eventually, I just stopped caring.

            I'd probably go the "I just don't care anymore" route as well. Except I'd have to turn off the stupid blinking indicator in the top right corner. And that would mean losing the indicator that I have a new friend list message as well.

            Is Playonline Plus itself free? Or were you just referring to the email filter feature being free?

              Just the email filter is free.

                I think I've had 3 emails to my POL address in the 3 1/2 years I've played.
