Exclamation Detecting Forum E-Mail Cautions!

I have recieved two emails today that came in my junk folder. The first one I opened and it was to the old Friendly Forum Site and also had metal detector resource.com on it. The second I just got was from Metal Detecting Forum World after I checked it out had gone through 2 email addys before it came to me, and instead of opening I sent it to hotmails phising scam database. It had an oriental gmail addy then to a same name hotmail addy. Just a warning to every one here, you never know.

I heard that the hacker who hijacked the Friendly Metal Detector Forum was sending out emails asking for donations. Don't reply or sign on to his forum.
