Well, whatever reason for your subscription I´ll consider this thread spam until you edit that e-mail.
You realize you just helped the spammer a heap by "legally" posting the same crap again?
At least delete the phone numbers.

Easy answer to this: you signed up to receive emails whenever someone posted to that thread.
Next a spammer signed up the forum and dumped messages into that thread. The forum software dutifully sent you a mail every time.
By the time you checked the thread his pays had been reported and his user banned.
