I recently received messages from Kalmbach informing me I had *subscribed* to Scale Auto, American Snowmobiler, and Trains. What the heck is that all about, Kalmbach? I have never signed up for any of these! I attempted to *Unsubscribe* but the Kalmbach website would only allow me to unsubscribe from FSM. Odd. I definitely do not appreciate the spamming.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Same situation here. The funny thing is that I haven't touched a model car since December of 1981 and I don't have any interest in either snowmobiles or trains.
I think it's the same log in as here. I had trains and also auto come into my email this morning thanking me for subscribing. I've never signed up to either one. But I recall after the mess here where many of us couldn't sign in for a couple of weeks or more I did sign in at fine scale auto using the sign in for here. I don't know, I dump about 80% of my emails anyway so I just checked those off too and they went in my trash bin with the rest. When I get 300 emails in the trash bin I'll delete them all.
I also got two emails but they thanked me for registering to Trains and the auto mag and asked that I subscribe. I didn't register at either and it's probably related to my being a FSM subscriber and registered on this forum. Hopefully they don't do this again.
Tojo72 Same thing here,I deleted them,no big deal.

It may not be a big deal, but then again, it might be. I didn't sign up for any of those publications, so when I get emails saying, "Thank you for registering for Scale Auto", etc, my first thought is that my Kalmbach login was hacked or spoofed. Or that some other account of mine was hacked. I'm sure that I'm not the only one.
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
Nothing in my inbox or spam folder...yet.
Retired and living the dream!
I got them as well, it didn't say thanks for subscribing, they said thanks for registering.

Ask me about Speedway Decals
Yup, me too. Maybe this is the beginning of problems due to the upcoming web site redesign. Please clean up your act, Kalmbach!
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...
Me too. To two different email addresses. I wonder about the Web site update also. I'm more inclined to think a hack and spoofing.
I type on a tablet. Please excuse the terseness and the autocorrect. Not to mention the erors.
I got them too. The ‘deleted’ folder in my mail program list emails alphabetically, so it’s easy to see that Kalmbach is one of the largest contributors to this file. They normally don’t bother me, but I did have to look twice at the ones they sent today. That kind of marketing really turns me off to a vendor.

Both mine came from this email address
ScaleAutoMagazine@mail.kalmbachmail.com
the ad says a special of $19.95 for a year but I click on the subscribe link and it says $29.95.
got them too in my hotmail so i put a block on both so should not have them appear again hopefully. i wonder if the site got hacked which might explain the spam?
Yes, getting them across several emails as well from at least 3 different magazines.
Same here, I filed them in file 13.
Blocked and reported them as junk.
I got them as well.
I received a "thank you for registering for trains, click here to subscribe". Don't care about trains. Flaged it as spam, hope I won't receive it any more.

Yep, they hit me this morning.
Your comments and questions are always welcome.
Well there you go... this is an FSM issue. Time to tell them to quit spamming us.....
I worked the night shift, and I received 3 notifications for emails from Kalmbach between 2:30am and 3:00am. It said thanks for registering to Trains, Scale Auto and a snowmobile website and now I can get a reduced subscrition by clicking this address.
It's a big deal to me, if someone has hacked Kalmbach and trying to steal info. This may be the last straw for me as far as Kalmbach pertaining to Finescale Modeler also.
The forum for Finescale is nothing but one effing mess with way too many login issues, lack of thread notifications and customer service.
I think I will just let my current subscription expire and buy my magazine at the newsstand.
Haven't gotten any of that stuff "yet". Hope that I don't. My old senile brain can't handle much more computer noncense.

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
Yep got all that crap too. Welcome to the “new improved “ site. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
I am waiting for a reply from a Kalmback manager acknowledging the problem, and what they are going to do about it. I wonder if they or the moderators are aware of this. Not sure how to go about contacting them.
