I do not find anyprivate messages listed, nor do I have any idea as to what they mean by spam. I just re registered for the new forum and probably do not have any new posts, so I am wondering what is going on.

Perhaps one of the site administrators could e mail me at my listed account, as nothing is showing in the private messages portion.

Thanks

J.J.( Jeff) King, RPh

I received a similar message but when I logged in, the dialog box said I did not have privileges to view it.

Our website administrator has obviously deleted that particular PM from all of our in-boxes.

I also received this e-mail but did not click on the link. Instead I went to the Forum and logged in. I had no new private message.

Same message showed up in my registered email account. No private message exists. Looks like an attempt to steal login info.

Thanks Dean! I feel much better now.. ;)

I get the feeling that a few of the folks in this thread are auditioning for the remake of "Forrest Gump - Part Deux" - but can't wait for the casting call, so are trying out their lines here...

But - what do I know..???

:D

Due to the received "virus" email from editor, I had IT run an indepth scan on my machine, and they did find a culprit deep within. Thanx to PGCA Administrator for the message.

I received it as well- AOL said it was spam and to forward to them as such.I thought my comp. was the culprit, and even was in the progress of getting a different virus protection.
