E mail spam from Carnival website

[Gon2hwe]

I signed up on the Carnival website for emails on their specials. I've noticed that now every time I go to one of these specials I get spam from all kinds of websites. Most seem to be from foreign sites from porn sites to Ethiopian sceams. I'd like to see their specials but I get tired of deleteing spam for days after I go to their site. I've been watching this carefully and I only get these emails when I go to the Carnival site. Do you think it's Carnival or the agent for Carnival that sends me these specials? Guess I'm just gonna have to block these emails unless someone has a better idea.

I've never gotten any spam from going to Carnival's website. Are you sure you signed up through Carnival or did you go through an e-mail claiming to be from Carnival?

Never had any problem with a real Carnival site. I think you were not at real Carnival site.

 

Lots of people wind up on fake sites.

I think you are infected with spyware.

Do you have a spam filter on your email? I have earthlink and true spam rarely makes it off their server onto my inbox. You need to check your settings on your email and run spyware/adware on your computer to clean it up.

I agree, I've never received any spam from Carnival with their emailings.

have not had this problem, but i did go to carnivalconnections.com and one one of the subjects............there it was 5 postings with porn web sites. how did that get there and what do we do to report it. this is too crazy for my knowledge.

I agree with everyone else. It seems like you may have "signed up" through a site "claiming" to be a legitimate Carnival website...

 

I've been on the Carnival email list for at least 5 years and I have never experienced anything remotely close to what you're experiencing.

Same here - I've never gotten any spam related to visiting the Carnival site. Sounds like you clicked on something that downloaded adware to you or registered at a "dummy" site that looked like Carnivals.

 

It happens all the time unfortunately - I work in a bank and that's a particular problem in our industry where people click on an email that takes them to a site that looks just like ours and then they give out information. :mad: We had nothing to do with it, but the sites are sometimes so good people swear it was us.

 

Good luck - try changing your spam settings on your email and download and regularly use a good adware scanner. Be careful - some out there claim to be this and are just the opposite!! :eek: Adaware by Lavasoft is a legit. one that works well.

Come to think of it, it was Carnival Connections that I signed up on. From then on I got email from one particular agent with Carnival. I have spyware and do not get any odd emails except right after I check the specials that I'm sent from Carnival. Then I get contant stream of them until I have marked them as spam . Maybe didn't make myself clear. I don't go to very many sites and most are sites I have used for years without this problem. Thanks for the help anyway.
