yup same here
thanks

 

got it also - I blocked him
cricket will take care of it

 

Thank you.

 

Just FYI I think Cricket wanted PMs sent to her instead of forum topics opened….. so this one may get closed down

 

I had the email notification but when I checked my inbox it was already gone so I think that means we can avoid hammering Cricket's inbox with spam alerts.

It just wreaked of spam from the get go. I used to get emails from my customers with such bad english grammar that I knew it wasn't them. "I am found in in other country with all my wallets removed and need money to home get please. I will back you pay"

 

woodworkzpma IS another one.

 

Yep. Me to.

 

Spammed me with an affiliate link

 

crickets gonna love this!

 

I got one from woodworkzpma too. Flushed it!

 

Beat me to it.

What a prat.

 

I recommend that you tag your own post as spam so that Cricket sees it. (put a note that you are tagging it so that she knows it was you).

 

Its a pain and a real kind of invasion of privacy.
It would be sometimes nice to know the origins and whether these people ever make money from this spam stuff.

 

how do you report a post as spam. I was going to report it but couldn't find how

 

I received pvt msg from a new just joined today member but am scared it might be spam.

+1 on Lazyman's suggestion.

Block the user if it is a personal message.
This will prevent the spammer from being able to personal message you or post replies on your posts.
If it is a reply to a post you can "flag" it on the left under the user name.
Or send Cricket a personal message letting her know what is going on.

AstroEd - That's just 'Teds' again. Same B.S.. Just don't respond and they'll phish somewhere else. Spread the word. Make the silence deafening ….

 

I got it too. Blocked!

Plans? We dont need no stinkin plans.

 

It looks like the spammers keep switching ID's and then sending out spam PM's until Cricket shuts the ID down, then they move to a new one and repeat.

 

They are using woodworkkkfs user too.

 

I just received one. I don't see where to mark it in the message as spam or to block?

They are using woodworkkkfs user too.

BB1 - You can click on their name from your private message list and then on the left click "Block". But this is pointless as they're simply going to create a new account and do it again… For now I've had to disable private message notification which is less than ideal.

 

All that blocking does is prevent you from getting PM's. They are free to keep spamming others.

The reason I stated this thread was because I saw no way of reporting this,

 

Yep, this is the second private message that i have got from him. He really needs to be banned!!
