Has anyone every received spam email via HelloBee?
I got one today. I'm guessing the sender went to my blog (linked in my profile but not recently updated) and got my email address from there since it's a blog-only email address? The subject line says "NY Bar Exam - hellobee" BUT the email was from a male?
Very bizarre.

@LindsayInNY: Sorry about that!! Hmm, is there anything we could do to prevent people from spamming blogs in people's profile like that?

@mrbee: No worries!! The only way I knew it came from here was because he put "hellobee" in the subject line. Very odd!

@LindsayInNY: Did his email have anything to do with the NY bar exam? Or was it pure spam...

@mrbee: Here's the text of it:
LindsayinNYC,
I came across your post while reading about studying for the bar exam while working full time. I am currently studying for the July exam while working full time and having four kids at home under the age of 7. Thankfully, my wife is superwoman and lets me study whenever I am not at work. Would you be able to send me your outlines and notes that you used to study from to help me.
I really appreciate it.
Thank you,
Joseph
His email address was his name and when I googled him, an attorney in Ohio came up. It's just weird because the only male I "know" on here is you, haha! I guess it's not your traditional spam email but just unsolicited?

@LindsayInNY: Ah that sounds like a real message!
I just did a search on the boards to see if we could track this down, and noticed that you once offered to let someone see your NY outlines.... maybe Joseph stumbled on that thread from Google, and then tracked you down through the blog link on your profile? Or someone on HB mentioned your thread to their husband, and he found you that way?

@mrbee: That's possible... I suppose I could respond and ask for more info before providing them!

@LindsayInNY: Sounds good! ps It's definitely not me asking for your bar outlines!!
