Has anyone else received an email from someone claiming to be with TLC?
Is this a scam of some kind?
I'm guessing it was the The Learning Channel....RIP left eye! - The email said she enjoyed my hub and would be interested in an interview. I asked what hub she read and she said it was a comment I left on a hub a few months back....so I didn't respond because it seemed shady. I was just wondering how common this is...
Ummm...nope, that's a new one on me. Sounds bizarre. You should probably respond to the e-mail just to see what's up. If they're obviously shady then you can jerk'em around a little just for fun. Haha.
I haven't ever received anything like that. But what's the harm in replying? Even if it's a scam they have to get something from you before you have been scammed. So just don't give them any personal information of any kind. See where it goes.

So, I get an email, person says he/she wants to use one of my hubs for a school project, but needs my full name. Person's language sounds like he/she is an adult. On the email it says email address is unverified. Do notice I've gotten more traffic lately to that particular hub. What would you do? I...

I received email about the changes that hubpages will have starting august 10. But I can't claim my subdomain even if I have entered correctly my security questions. It just kept asking me the 3 security questions over and over again. I find no support page here so I ask it here in forums. Has...

I’m wondering if emails from HubPages are being lost. I confirmed that I have all notification settings set to “Always” for “Instant Email” and “Allow HubPages to contact you” is enabled.1. Whenever I get a new follower I don’t get the email notification as I used to in the past. Just got one...
