I think only Charter members can view someones profile. But the spam could be coming from a member. I guess its certainly possible but its odd that I never received any MDing spam.. :icon_scratch:

Dozer, does your password work when you login and logout of TN?

They have electronic programs that trawl the internet for live emails, I think they are called spiders but not sure. All you need is a slightly clever program to tell you the type of site it came off. All at a click of a button nowadays.
Everyone in my opinion should not put out an email unless they don't mind spam.

TreasureNet - possible new owner and management‏

Hi dozer dan,

This is Marc Austin... creator and [email protected].

TreasureNet is the oldest and most popular treasure hunting site on the Net... we have over 40,000 members... have been online since 1994, and are consistently ranked in the top 80,000 of ALL websites in the world. With BILLIONS of websites, I guess it's safe to say, TreasureNet is in the top .008%!

In the next few days, there is a good chance that TreasureNet will have a new owner and management.

This is happening because I NEED a chunk of cash - not because I WANT to sell it. I am having to accept a LOW BALL offer out of necessity. :-(

Whatever happens, I just wanted to say thanks for visiting TreasureNet. Without our many members and visitors, TreasureNet would not have been possible.

Thanks,
Marc Austin

so what are we saying here?
Is it a scam?
Are our email addresses, history and profiles being given away?

I doubt it. Are you receiving email spam from metal detector dealers?

I have a queston sometimes switching from T/N to facebook it goes to Samuel Garcia's Myspace site.
To fix it i have to clear all history and shut down the computer in order to access facebook. I dont know this Garcia guy and this only happens when leaving this site. It is very discouraging hopefully someone will have the answer? ???

facebook is not a social networking tool its a marketing dream come true. They target millions across the world with specific interests. Any data you have on facebook which is metal detecting related means you will get targetted adverts. Thats how to make big bucks. They sell groups of metal detecting fans (or any other hobby) to those that market these goods. Thats what facebook IS.

Dozer Dan... I received the message from "Bobby Goldman" too. I telephoned him at a New York City telephone number on 05-27-2010. He wanted me to call him back on Monday 05-31-2010. What else do you know about this...? I am a treasure investigator and have possibly located a vast treasure hidden in a mansion in Philadelphia. You can read about this project at www.projectredknee.blogspot.com If you would like to contact me, you can write to my e-mail: [email protected] ....Kenneth Andrew Bauman.
