Who is Laotan and why is s/ he sending me unsolicited advertising?

Recommended Posts

I've had an email from someone called Laotan offering me a $25 online, presumably; correspondence course in Taoism.

My concern is twofold.

1 Laotan presents him/ herself as someone officially connected with TTB.

2 How has Laotan obtained my email address?

 

Any advice appreciated.

Best Regards to all.

I posted this in General and then realised it had better been posted here.

Feel free to delete the post in General....

If it's that email which is shown right away on the first page of your website (which you have linked to in your profile), then that would be how they got your email addy...

Just checked that.

The only contact details on my Profile is our centre link.

Not my email addy.

The TTB techies are onto this I have sent the email to viator.

Advice seems to be DO NOT click onto the link or reply direct any email from Laotan.

Luckily I didn't do that.

I get Taoist spam once in awhile in one of my emails, not mentioning TTBs ever though; I think they found me through FB and just spam everyone on BKF's friends list...

I see no member in the member list by that name. Likely it is some spammer who somehow got your e-mail address. I doubt there is any connection of that person and the TaoBums. Keep your $25.

Or send it to me. I'll give you an online correspondence course in Taoism AND will hook you up with the Nigerian Minister of Finance, who happens to be looking for someone to accept a $25M wire transfer...
