Getting Spam From Other Members

I just received the following email in my gmail account.  I don't really care for members spamming me from this site.  Is this behavior within the rules of the site?

"Hi Arthur,

Since we are connected on BiggerPockets I'm assuming you have interest in real estate investing and building wealth. And you can certainly do so by buying and owning real estate.

And instead of giving your money to a bank, have you ever thought about becoming one? You too can be a lender and collect monthly payments from the borrower/landlord.

I would like to invite you to our upcoming webinar where my guest speaker will share some tips and strategies of become a private lender. He will explain how you can start earning 7% to 8.5% consistent return without worrying about property management, tenants, or vacancy. Reserve your spot today:

Replied

Hey @Arthur E. - Is this person your colleague? That would be the only reason they have your email address. Obviously, we're not a fan of this kind of stuff but if you are colleagues with someone, the possibility comes with having that relationship. I would just replay with "no thanks" and maybe de-colleague them here on BP.

Hope that helps!

Brandon
