Receiving Spam

From MB Wiki

We've had one report (September 2006) of receiving some Spam with motionbased.com attached to the email. We apologize that anyone would receive this message, but it did not originate from us. A spammer, or virus has harvested your email address, and sent you a message that seems like it originated from us. This method of masking the sender's real address is called spoofing. MotionBased does not condone the sending of unsolicited email and takes all necessary precautions to protect our machines from attacks such as this.
