Hi @Beeweggetje,

During the weekend several fake accounts were registered and group chats were started, seemingly a phishing attempt yes. The email you received was auto-generated by the forum as you received a message on the forum. The spammers have not emailed you directly. The extent of it was no greater than this, your personal data is safe.

All the involved spammers have been banned and the messages deleted. 

Also, official staff always has an admin/moderator badge and you can always check out who's an admin or moderator here: https://forum.abetterrouteplanner.com/staff/
