A short while ago I noticed a spam message tagged onto a thread here. The message was promptly removed by the staff. I just noticed that the same person has deposited the same spam message into a PM to me here. Hopefully appropriate steps will be taken to stop this person spreading their junk here. If the team needs a copy of the PM &/or the spammer's UID, please let me know.

Feel free to move this message wherever you feel is appropriate.

Thanks

Typical, they didnt want to share the 10,000,000 with me!

I just checked Gmail and its there, TWICE!

Looks like they've went through the member list for public email addresses aswell.

I can't believe somebody tried that here, they should have realised we all have sense not to fall for anything like that

Trekkie101 · July 25, 2005, 07:19:52 AM
