I have received an inappropriate email from and x-plane forum group; what should I do?

Question

I received an email from a forum with x-plane logos and email.  It was propositioning me to view nude photos and had nearly nude photos attached to it.  I would think x-plane would want to take action to stop this user from using its forum for such a purpose.

Answer 1

Hi There - I'm sorry, the .org forums are a separate organization from us at Laminar Research. I would recommend that you check on this with them.

Answer 2

Hi Heyauntgg,

Unlike thomson I am not from Laminar Research; just a flight simmer from down under.

As advised by Thomson make contact direct with the forum through X-Plane.org which is not part  of this forum or Laminar Research which is X-Plane.com

My interpretation of your problem is their system has been compromised (hacked) which includes your contact details and or your system has been hacked as well.  You may need to upgrade your security software.
