Your title is incorrect. I'm not sending out any PMs through my account. Scammers using my name to send out fake emails. I even recieved one. I reported and posted warnings around.
P.s. Thanks Mods for fixing op's title! |

The emails are totally fake just like you get a fake email from your bank asking you to confirm your account details.
This fake email looks like it is from TRF but it is from a totally unassociated email account. Nothing new, just be careful as always and do not click on any photos or links in emails. At the same time, TRF never sends out emails asking you for 'confirmation of your log in details' or anything of that nature, so don't fall for the trick, you will be giving a scammer the ability to take over your account and potential scam other members. Its just about being careful and thinking before you act.
