One or more of these people continue to pester our forum. They are using valid email addresses and correctly answering the security question to get a valid registration. Then, they are using the "Email Member" feature to send out their phishing mail. Each registration is a new IP address so it can't be blocked.
Two more registered last night and started doing the same thing. One of our members received an email yesterday that simply had a "helo" in the body rather than tip their hand with the whole scam email. Watch out for their little tricks like this.
If this continues much longer I may not have a choice but to turn off the "Email Member" feature. I'd hate to have to resort to that as I know many of you use it. Another option for forum members who are getting these is to individually turn off their own "Allow email" feature in their Profile.
At some point these people will surely give up and move on. Until then just delete the dang things if you get them.
