SPAM emails? Are they coming from VUF?

A few guys from our shop have signed up for this forum, and now they are getting many ecig-related spam emails, and they NEVER got any of these prior to registering for this forum. Is this just a coincidence?

I tried to tell them that China has finally caught up to them, but they're claiming it's "get your free ecigarette" and bullshit like that, not your standard "Hello Dear Friend" China spam...

They are Not generated from the forum we have tight security on this plus none of the 50 or so users I am in contact with on a daily basis get anymore China spam emails then before the forum was created. Prior to the forum I have always received spam from China at least 10 emails a day asking to buy product with being the same amount now, no extra spam.

It's probably just coincidence. Just thought it was odd because these AREN'T China vendors, they are exigencies credit card scams...

Thanks for clearing that up!

There's been an uptick in the amount of cc scams coming through gmail - in the last 7-10 days (if they're using gmail that is) - that as far as I can tell comes from a change in the way gmail filters its junk mail, not necessarily signing up here or anywhere else.
