Is anybody else receiving odd e-mails from CB?
onegirlcreative (1090 pencils) | Sun, 2008-03-30 19:26I am getting e-mails supposedly from CreativeBits telling me that a post that I subscribed to has been updated, but when I click on the link, it brings me to a really weird site.
See below:
What on earth is this site??? Is someone stealing the threads from CB and posting them on their own site? I'm not too happy about this.
Anybody know what gives?

This happened to me too. It's someone spamming old posts with their directory information. Just unsubscribe from those threads and report the spammer to Ivan (feedback link).

likewise, glad i am not alone....
because it's the same e-mail address as CreativeBits. How are they able to do this??? I tried to go into my server and blacklist it, but if I did, then I wouldn't receive any legitimate e-mail from CB.
Do these people actually think we're stupid enough to sign up for their "copied" site??? Pathetic.

Hi guys! I'm so sorry, we've had a test site. No more emails. If that's not the case please let me know asap!
I just received an e-mail about 15 minutes ago. Just so you know...

Sorry folks. We are testing some upgrades to the site, and the test system had email enabled. We disabled it and you should not get any emails from it again.

Hey guys i received one today as well from creativebits.org the email stated:

The link seemed very suspicious as if someone is phishing for our passwords. Glad to hear it was something Ivan does know about and not some hacker trying to get us.
FYI mine was sent at 2:30PM
Got four of them earlier today. Odd.

I got 104 emails. That was some test! :)

Doesn't seem nearly as much as Nato's, but it was annoying, nevertheless.

Apologies again to all.
We are planning an upgrade for this site, and to do that, we don't want to mess with the live site. So we put a copy of the site on a test server to see how those upgrades will go. In the background, the subscription got triggered and emails started going out.
The last message went out of the test server at Mar 30 15:47:46 (Eastern Daylight time).
So, if you get other messages it has to be dated before that, and delayed somewhere between mail server. So, give it a day or two for those lost in the middle to trickle down.
