I'm out of touch here, popping in to warn about what seems a scam email in my junk folder today. It mentioned my Hubpages user name. Supposedly from a hacker who has been watching my activity online, and plans to share porn viewing details with my friends, family and contacts, unless I send a bitcoin bribe. It's been deleted. It would be interesting to know if any other hubbers have had a similar email. This does not mean Hubpages are in any way to blame, it just made me wonder if the scammer used the email link here.
It sounds like Bev helped you out. Yes, spammers are a nuisance. I receive them occasionally and delete them. I wish I could delete other nuisances that are more of a pain.
I've actually gotten several scam emails from a so called attorney's office saying my pictures weren't properly attributed. It said deleting the images wouldn't work. Yet, the articles they sent me weren't even mine. I did a Google search and found out this was just a scam. I don't know what the scam is as I didn't look any further.
So your email is not visible to anyone contacting you via HubPages. HubPages simply forwards the messages, so you did the right thing in ignoring it.
