spamming on private messages

[kernowyon]

any one else got a spam message on their private messages or was it just me that got singled out? it seems that nowhere these days is immune from this.

You are not alone kernowyon. I shouldn't be surprised if he isn't doing everyone, five at a time!

Well I haven't had any PM's yet - maybe that's why I am safe so far?!

[Winged one]

Sorry, I lied - I just realised that I had received my first ever PM here - and yes it was a spam....

[Hazel at the Hill]

Make sure that you report anything untoward to the Mods, peeps!

[Bren In Pots]

Just forwarded the one I've received to a mod.

[Winged one]

I deleted mine, sorry - will send a note to the mods. That's Piglet Willine and Jenny off the north of Scotland on an island isn't it?

[scared55]

Yeah, me too. But how many copies of it will they need to see? And surely the server logs will show the extent of the miscreant's malfeasance.

Yes - I had one today - with a vaguely religious bent? Seem familiar?

Nothing to do with any posts I've made and 'member' only joined 2 days ago.

I'll try and pass it up to a mod if I can work out how!

Yeah, me too. But how many copies of it will they need to see? And surely the server logs will show the extent of the miscreant's malfeasance.

Just a quick 'I've been spammed by...' to PW or JA should do the trick....

BTW - 'malfeasance' - good word, KK - although I did have to look it up!

ooh I'm worried now, just sent a "hi and welcome" back, is that bad? how d'ya know it's spam, what should i do?

[quark1]

Lainey lou - I've just added the 'undesirable-one' to my ignore list - only one on there folks!

You should be safe as long as you replied inside a PM and did not give over your actual email addy.

Could someone give me the name of a moderator to forward this message to please - as I'm having trouble locating one - ta.

[Bren In Pots]

Lainey lou add the senders name to your 'Ignore List' that way you wont hear any more from them.

[lainey lou]

Thankyou for the reassurance quark i have forwarded message to MOD JennieAtkinson

[lainey lou]
