Vivaldi.net spam messages?

Hi since a couple of months I have a vivaldi.net account....seems OK...BUT today I found a strange dating message from (obvious) a russian lady in my inbox. She had a English yahoo account (.co.uk)

very strange as I do NOT use any dating services....as I am married...LOL.
Also I hardly use the vivaldi email only a VERY FEW people have this and there is NOT a Russian lady among them....

Anyone also got this??

I absolutely can NOT appreciate this kind of spam. If this is not going to stop itīs " bye bye" Vivaldi for me...

regards

Dutchie.

Pity, she looks nice on the picture.

I'm feeling a bit left out here . . .

I mustn't be of interest to anyone - heck, I don't even get Reader's Digest Prize Draw info anymore!

The URL brings me to:

Quote:
Not Found

The requested URL /www.emaildiscussions.com/showthread.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.24 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.24 OpenSSL/1.0.0-fips mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at www.emaildiscussions.com Port 80
Edit: Ah, okay when I remove the unnecessary leading "www.emaildiscussions.com/", I'm brought to this thread, which was perhaps what you intended.

I also received the same spam, for what it's worth, and also from the same spammer. It's not in my vivaldi.net email, though, but in my vivaldi "private messages" (or whatever they're called). But from what I've been able to tell, users are listed on the site and one's member name is the same as one's email address, so it wouldn't be hard to determine the latter from the former. I've tried to find a way to change my forum user name, but as far as I can tell there isn't any way.

Oops. Sorry about that.

I fixed my link to go to the first page of that thread.
