Spam/scam/virus newsletter?

[BigBadLou]

I just received a newsletter email that seems like spam/scam/virus.
All the links (to supposed diesel topics) in it point to some scam-sounding website, including the unsubscribe link.
The address of the "club" is set to Toronto.
And the fineprint says that I subscribed on Sept 1st.
The biggest hint that it's not legitimate is the fact that I received an identical newsletter email for another diesel website. Same information etc.

Just a heads up that if y'all receive this email, I suggest not to click on anything (even the unsubscribe link) and simply delete it.

They were sent out by Autoforums. They are the parent company of most Auto related forums out there. They are based out of Toronto. I received one from the 4 different diesel forums that I am a member of that Autoforums owns.

I see, I didn't know that they bought our website too.
They seem to be an advertising/marketing company buying out enthusiast forums, now that I googled the suspicious verticalscope.com domain from their email.

Glad it's not a virus, but it's still tracking spam. I will put them on my block list.

Thanks
