Hi Impatiens,
I have replied on the other thread you started, but just to clarify could you please copy and paste the message into an email and forward it to:
moderator@breastcancercare.org.uk
Again, sorry that this is happening, hopefully our technical team can find a way of stopping it.
Kind regards,

Hi impatiens, it's the same one as some of us received a couple of days ago.
BCC would be possible to have a choose who you receive PM's from facility?
Just seems a wide open door at the moment for more PM's of this nature. Anyone registering here has their public forum messages moderated but can PM anyone at once.
Know it's a downside of using the internet but, for me, having them in your junk mail is not so intrusive as receiving a PM here.
Should clarify only if it could be a chosen facility you could opt in or out of as I would use it but many would not want to.
Hi Belinda,
I will pass your comments on to Mike. Many thanks.
