I too got that email but didn't click on anything.  I have just received another email from him re Black Friday, there was a link which I did not click on (for obvious reasons) also the email address seemed rather strange to me.  I know Keith comes of here from time to time and I would be grateful if he could confirm none of his customers financial details have been compromised and that it is safe to order on his website again.

Geoff

I have the same email for black friday but no mention on Keiths site, there is no way I will press any of the links in that email so folks please be very wary.

Just had 2 more emails from Keith, I do not know what is happening but it looks like someone has got into his email addresses and are sending out bogus emails, absolutely wrong that our emails have been taken in this way.

anyone else getting these?

I am getting these emails but I will not click on any link in them as I feel Keith's computer has been infected by a Trojan Horse.  I hope he gets this sorted out soon.

cheers John.

Has anyone let him know that you're still getting them?

I'm on his mailing list, but I'm not getting them.

I emailed him last time and never got an answer.

Has anyone receiving these emails tried phoning him....07951 453669

Size matters - especially if you don't have a lot of space - and N gauge is the answer!

I have been busy in work yesterday and today, but having some spare time tomorrow I shall ring him and see if he knows about it.

I have rang Keith and was transferred to his answering service where I left a message informing him about the rogue emails  :thumbsup:

Has he been hacked again? Another strange email with just a link in it (which I didn't open).  Threatens to destroy a perfectly good business  :censored:

Geoff

Well I can not believe he is not doing something about it, I thought he might answer us on this thread, I have also got an answer machine but I will not talk to these things I would rather talk in person, Keith has now gone into my spam email address so when genuine offers come along I will not know there on, his loss not mine.

I too got his answer phone, hopefully he gets the message. Time for him to get a professional in to help him on the security side of things.  I certainly wont order anything through his website until I know it is safe to do so, I am even concerned about ordering stuff over the phone as I have no idea how he processes my card details  :(

Gents, I emailed Keith today and got a reply, so he is aware, and he apologised for what's happened. I know that Train Trax has now ceased operations until next week, so hopefully things will be straightened out soon.

Is he using Outlook? If so, he should switch to another e-mail client that has its own address book. Outlook uses the Windows address book, which , being part of the Windozy system, is eminently hackable.

I spoke with keith a week or so back due to spoof e.mail .keith was waiting for his computer technician to resolve the problem if also notice he is using mobile number due bt  so please bear with traintrax and talk via mobile.mike
