Stopping emails

[Robinsnest72]

How do I stop all these posts coming in? I was scammed yesterday with 64 hacks. This morning I have 16 posts from everywhere. Want to stay on forum but cannot handle this

Do you have any protection on your computer? Malware or AVG (both free) or Avast.

However if you are using a phone, is there not a blocking procedure on it?

Have you accidentally gone on the positively well being forum?? Open a post on that forum...at the top there is a box with a tick next to the "write".....click the tick once.

It drove me mad.

If you don't want email notifications for any posts...open you profile and adjust your settings. But I suspect you have accidentally joined pwb.

I think I have been hacked because I got 64 posts yesterday saying hacker

[Hidden in reply to Robinsnest72]

What do you mean by posts...emails or posts that appeared on this forum?

[Robinsnest72 in reply to Hidden]

Yes they all were from a hacker

[Hidden in reply to Robinsnest72]

I am being a bit thick I think. You means personal emails? If they were posts on here I suspect we would all get them on the news feed. They said from healthunlocked? I think you really need to check with the support staff if they originated from HU.

Then that is something to sort with your email provider - it isn't to do with this forum. Most Inboxes allow you to mark spam of that sort as Spam and when deleted the server will remember the style/source and put them straight into the Spam bin the next time one appears. Happens to everyone at some point and why you need devent security on your computer.

If you really have been hacked then you need to take appropriate action and that will include a good firewall protection as jinasc has already said - but often a spate of spam appears after you have signed up online for some service and your email has been picked up. Never open them, mark it as Spam and delete them both from the Inbox and the Spam folder.

I have contacted my server and he claims it is the domain. I am not tech savy and I just use an iPad. His suggestion was I drop the app

[Longtimer in reply to Hidden]

Me too!

You need to report any hacks.

[Robinsnest72 in reply to Hidden]

Where do you report

[Hidden in reply to Robinsnest72]

As pmrpro says it may be your email provider you need to contact. ...but here is HU

about.healthunlocked.com/co...

Or

about.healthunlocked.com/co...

It is up to you to choose what form of notification you want: every post, a daily, weekly or monthly summary.

Any post you start - like this one - you should get a notification for every reply. If others are of particular interest to you - click on Save Post at the start and you will be told about any replies to it.
