Where firefighters come to talk training

I Received E-mail spam through this web site

I Received E-mail spam through this web site. It was from an individual that appeared the have a username here. He/She was trying to get me to contact them on a private e-mail address.

Done anyone know who I should contact here on Fire Engineering.com? I tried looking for a link but wasn’t able to find one. It would be best to let the web site know so they can fix the problem before others have the same thing happen. I like this web site and don’t want it breached by the unscrupulous.

Please e-mail peterp@pennwell.com. Unfortunately, we are constantly getting spam of this nature. Please do not give out your personal info to these solicitations. Our moderators are on top of this situation, but so far there has been no permanent solution--spammers just keep hitting us.

Brian,

A small group of us check the site daily but these solisiters keep sneaking in and trying to get responses. Sorry for the intrusion but we are always trying to weed these folks out. Please shoot peterp@pennwell.com an e-mail if you get hit again.

Thanks Bobby

Brian:

I can tell you that these spammers like to hit over the weekend, because they figure their crap will get to stay up for a couple of days.

When I see it; I report it and I get a very quick response from Pete.

It would seem that young, foreign females find me irresistible.

But, you probably already knew that.
