I've posted something in the community board about this subject. Didn't know it was being hashed out here. My short version is like a lot of people just recently, I've been fighting spam that just keeps getting worse. I'm getting tired of it. My email provider recommended using temp email addresses that I could create and easily delete, not to mention I could color code it based on which address was tied to which temp I made up. I tried that for Rosity. As well as the 4 other poser sites I visit and buy from. Within 24 hours I got about 10 spam messages on the color coded email address used only for Rosity. I've not received any spam on the other addresses used at the other Poser sites. I established a gmail account and I have maintained it for over 2 months. Friends know it. Not 1 piece of spam fouled my inbox or spam folder. I changed the email at Rosity to the gmail account on the 18th of Sept midnight according to the email I got from Rosity saying they've received the change. On the 19th of Sept 6 hours later I received 20 pieces of spam mail. How, when I've maintained a clean email account for well over 2 months with people using it and one a single piece of spam. Within less than  24 hours after changing it here, I start getting spam. Not once but twice I've changed my email and same thing happens.  If that doesn't show that there is something amiss and I hope it gets looked into, I don't know what else to do. Just sounds like there is a loop hole in sites programing perhaps that is letting something in or skim or worse yet, Rosity is selling the addresses. 

I just want to have my inbox to myself again. I'm tired of having to sift through 30+ emails a day where 80% of them is nothing but spam. That isn't even including what the spam folder has caught. 

Is there a place on the boards where Rosity broadcasts their coupons? If it comes down to it, I'm gonna change my email to some off ball crap and let it rip. I mean don't we get a Rosity email account anyway? I'll just mine to that address if we do. If I delete my email at Rosity then I'll miss the coupons. I spend quite a bit of money here. Maybe I'll just quit spending money here...
