Just got this ad in my email from QuitingBoard
[ATTACH=CONFIG]535082[/ATTACH]
Curious if this is "this" quilting board and did anyone else get it?

I didn't but I've only signed up for emails from two or three sites on the entire web
Are any parts of the real email clickable and do they click back to here?
Is there subscription info on the bottom?

did a couple of web searches. no other site w quilting board in name except this one. creative bug is a craft site with lots of pages to visit for different things. i would NOT click on anything in this ad that you recieved. i think it's spam. i would contact the tech support for this quilting board, and i would contact the portal support for the creative bug site.
https://creativebug.desk.com/
i think this a very bad spam, the links could take you anywhere or nowhere, but would most likely attack your computer w virus, trojan or other bad stuff. here's the link to contact creative bug ..send them this same image & ask that they verify if it came from them. if it did ask how they got your contact info.
i have gotten mails like this over the years purporting to be from a bank or investment firm we've dealt with. i don't use links in the questionable mail, i contact the bank via link i've found doing a web search. they have always replied that it's spam. so please don't click on this!!!

for those that received it... did you sign up for the FREE Quilting Newsletter? if so did you leave the box checked that says Receive special offers from partners. if you no longer want to receive ads, unsubscribe. then [i'd suggest waiting a few days] sign up for the newsletter again and be sure to uncheck the Receive special offers from partners box

I got the same but didn't know how to get onto here and ask. I didn't sign up for anything because of thinking it being against rules. Also thought possible spam.
