I got on this forum to learn have to save money. Why did I get a post from someone trying to sell bank services?

Occasionally the forums will get spammed. The moderators delete the spam posts as quickly as they can. But in the meantime, if you're subscribed to a thread, you may see the spam in your email.

By default you subscribe to a thread when you post to it. You can change this setting by going to My Control Panel near the top-left side of the page.

Okay. Kind of new to computer forums. This never happened to me before.
Thanks for the explanation.
