Hello everyone. :bye: I just recieved a e-mail .It is a brief letter describing that ,this person has information relative to Spanish wrecks.He will fwd information at your request.I know this sounds dubious.He even suggests off the coast of Florida.I thought some of the Fld. SD members might have heard of this.The e-mail address is : office@spanishwrecks.eu . Even if it is legitamate, I probably couldn't make the trip right now .

I also just received same email. Is SOMEBODY at SD.com selling our email list??? Naughty, Naughty SANTA only going to leave you some coal in your sock. I will not resond to email or send any monies. I have a better chance in hitting MegaMillions than finding shipwreck treasure.

As a comeback to "selling Sd". No ,it was clearly out of the Blue, I recieved it.I only mentioned it ,as a friend , (non diver) had
heard a lot of news in the Fl area about such matters.And no it wasn't him. Oh,well it doesn't hurt to ask.

We NEVER sell any emails and we do not allow you to post your email on our site where it can be mined by spam bots for just that reason. Is the email you are using on our site the only place you have used it? This is a very serious concern and we will immediately start to look into how anyone could have gotten the emails of the members of this site if they got them via our site.

Please let me know if ANYONE has rec'd this email using an email ONLY USED ON THIS SITE. Kamala

Is there a common thread from the three so far known SingleDivers.com members (all Premier Member or above I notice, but that could be just a red herring) regarding recent web searches or other inquiries specifically regarding Spanish Wrecks? The Atocha dive trips Kamala has secured certainly created a buzz and possibly spurred independent research. To me, a more likely scenario is that personal data was purloined by some unscrupulous website featuring such information.

And for the record I have observed no unusual activity at the Admin CP level regarding members' data. :thankyou:

My post was totally tounge in cheek. Coinsedental that some members at SD.com receive same email. More likely email address coming from scuba store purveyors in Fl or NYC or whereever. I just delete.

Stan may be onto something.....he and I are probably both on the Divers' Direct email list (a FL dive shop that we've both used). Wonder if their email addy list is sold or compromised? I also wonder if Greg is also on their list?

FYI, this email came to my home email address, which is NOT the address I use on SD.com (that is the angels@singledivers.com address, which has not received the shipwreck email, and I never give it out except for SD.com business).

I'm near a divers direct location and I will ask the manager here in a little bit. I'm very careful on the contact info I give out as I don't want a bunch of spam in my mail. Personally I don't like it when companies sell my info without my permission as to me that's a invasion of privacy.

Actually the angels@singledivers.com email should get TONS of spam since it is published on the site. I sure get a ton on other emails that are published on the site. :welcome:

However I am glad to hear that we do not seem to have a security leak from our site. We are vigilant about such things. kamala

While I will not guarantee a breach will never happen; I am fairly comfortable in saying that I am confident in the security measures in place. The lads did a great job securing the site from that possibility.

I did not receive this email in any mailbox (SD, non-SD).
Remember, email is an inefficient communications forum. You may not read things the way it was intended. Give people the benefit of the doubt before firing back... Especially if it is ME...! ;)
