Dear Administrators of the website,
Acesconnection is becoming more popular. Sooner or later, this may attract members that do not have the purest of intentions.
Today I received a private message that looked a lot like spam email.
It may be time to introduce some kind of "report suspicious activity" button.
Otherwise our members who are concerned about childhood trauma may be tricked by a scammer.

I received an identical message today.
I believe that spam may become an issue in a heart-centered community like ACEsconnection as scammers would learn how to appeal to pathos and to acquire money or personal data for malicious purposes.
It would be easier to take preventive measures early on than to fight off spam after it will become a widespread problem.
I have received the same message on Aug 28th. Is there anything I need to do?
Claire- we have addressed the issue and banned the member who sent those messages so you shouldn't see any other messages (and please let us know if see anything else). We are very sorry for this spamming and do our utmost to protect folks from this. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Be well, Gail
