Receiving spam emails

People who are not Freecycle members are receiving multiple emails that appear to come from Freecycle.org. We have determined that these emails are NOT being sent from Freecycle.org, thanks to some victims of this spam who were able to provide information about the messages they received. These emails are being sent to people who have email addresses ending in .aol and .aim.

This spammer acquired these email addresses from somewhere else, and created spam emails that look like something Freecycle.org might send, but they are sent from an email address that does not belong to us.

Our best advice at this time is to mark them all as Spam, which should keep them out of your inbox.
