Seems we have two that have invaded the board.

Enough have been flagged, but since it is the weekend they may not be deleted until next week.

    Crazy

    Hi Phil
    I tried twice. First time IE crashed on the window and second time got an error message for a 'bad' email address.

    Thanks for your efforts.

    I sent an e-mail to CSN ('contact CSN')...
    That seems to help, too...as well as the flagging...

    Hugs, Kathi

    What to Do
    Just flagging it brings it to the attention of those who can fix it.
    I know it's frustrating Kathi but nothing can be done until it happens.
    They (the elves who fix stuff) can block the senders IP address but then they can just use a different computer to send spam again.
    Maybe contacting the company that sent the SPAM could shame them into stopping that practice but that's unlikely...

    I hope that there is a Special Section in Hell for Spammers...

    Don't contact the company...
    A week or so ago the board was spammed by "Coach". It wasn't Coach at all but a site that sells counterfeit Coach products. I doubt any reputable company would engage in spamming of this sort and contacting the company that is doing the spamming might just open your private email to who knows what. The day the 'Coach' spam hit I was going to contact Coach until I saw it was not really them at all...

    Thanks...

     We used to be able to add images in our comments but they made that impossible. I think it slowed things down (if that's even possible!)
