    I have been unable to get anyone's attention at Nero. When I register new software, I give it a unique email address. So... for Nero, I submitted my email address as Nero@myURL.com. This way, if a company sells my info or has a data breach, I KNOW where it came from.

    Nero has a problem becasue I am getting spam addressed to me as Nero@... from Panama. Below is today's spam to me as Nero@

    No one at Nero seems interested in the fact that someone from Panama is emailing THEIR client base. Do you get these emails? Thanks.

    PS I have edited the links by adding hh's and adding "= your email address" where YOUR email address appears if you get these spam msgs.

    If you think this is a spam, could you edit and delete all hyper links, please? (So a visitor here won’t accidentally click the link.)

    Or is this a new way of the promotion?

    It is spam and I could not figure out how to edit it or delete it and then re-post it without the links. People should be smart enough not to click something like this? Can you tell me how to edit or delete?

    Also, Google plaza neptuno local 7 and see what garbage you get. I have received dozens of these emails... from plaza neptuno local 7 ... google earth, firewall, etc.

    My issue is that the ONLY place this email address came from was NERO. I have now set up all email to this address as Spam. I posted msg here to see if other NERO customers are getting the same Spam and whether NERO was not the place where the email addresses were obtained.

    If you signed in here you should see the pen and paper icon at right (instead of the icon for PM).

    I always register anything with a trash E-mail address, one which is only used for registering software, hence any e-mail in that folder is from companies looking to sell me somethng. One click and it is gone gone gone without ever being read. Roadrunner lets an individual have 10 different e-mail accoubts, so one is all you need to prescreen the junk. =)
    Spam me all you want, I'll never see it.
