What are the chances of me receiving 2 pms in one day, same day that vizzed emails out pms when you have been gone long enough, both with spam titles with blank messages from people with 0 posts who I dont know. Is this a scam to get people to login or is this just a coincidence.

Yeah, wait a minute, this looks like a load of crap! I need to go check my emails too then. I actually do not have any of these JigSaw:  All you have to do to fix this is block you emails from non staff members, I am sure the staff won't spam you.

"All you have to do to fix this is block you emails from non staff members"

This has nothing to do with other members emailing me directly. Vizzed sent me the emails, I'm wondering if Vizzed is generating fake pms so people login or whether its just a coincidence that is the question.

Two blank pms from people with 0 posts on same day vizzed emails you when you are gone long enough. That is a bit fishy.

That has never happened to me before and after I got on Vizzed. I usually check my email every once in a while but I never seen anything like that.

It's actually never happened to me before.

But seriously I don't think this is a coincidence at all. The high ranks like locals,global or any staff (even elite) get a lot of messages from newbies wanting to be their friend.

Some newbs saw you and maybe thought they'd say "hi"

As for the days that is kind of odd but I highly doubt that David would put a fake pm system I mean I was gone for around 5 months and I never received any fake pm's

Sounds like a conspiracy to me haha. Hi jigsaw! This is pretty interesting maybe hackerman is right if not it is a good strategy for people to log on and see what is happening. Either one is kind of strange.

As far I know... This didn't happened me.

However, It has passed a lot of time since the last time I checked my E-Mail, but, I don't think Vizzed would do this only for you logging... It could be an error of the system...

This has never happened to me before. I usually like to hide my email address from non-staff members. I only trust the staff and some of my friends. I usually get emails about notifications though. Other then that, this has never happened to me

This has never happened to be before, either. I have never received an email from Vizzed. If you do not want emails from Vizzed, then just go to your profile settings, and unsubscribe from emails.

I think I can explain this pretty simply...

1. Vizzed has coding that sends you an email when you have notifications/pm's that you haven't read in a long time.
2. The two newbies PM'd you coincidentally near the same time (whether they are a re reg of another or you, I have no idea, but the fact remains they exist.)

So I can deduce one of two things...

1. You decided to play a prank on us, and those users are in fact you on separate IPs
or
2. Someone decided to have a little fun with you, and re registered to send you a second PM (however, on a new IP, again.)

This isn't really a conspiracy.

Whatever the case, I think this can be closed now. If there isn't an answer now, we aren't going to get one, it's been long enough.
