Hi, fellow expats,
I received a message purportedly coming from this site, including the return address looking like a bona fide expat.com notification address. The message itself was suspicious, telling me that a certain member (who actually appears on the list of expat.com individual members) wanted to contact me through private email, and I could click here.... etc., standard spam stuff (so much so that it was caught by my spam filter). I of course did not click, and double-checked on the non-existence of the message by logging in directly to the forum. But this is just a warning to others who might receive similar messages to not be so quick about clicking on a link given in a notification email supposedly from this site; if in doubt, just come directly to the site.
Cheers!
