Despite our defences the tossers will find ways to spam us. Sending a PM means it's not picked up as quickly as say a forum post which is either quickly reported or spotted by a mod (TeaLeaf has got a particularly finely tuned radar for this :)).

If you get a spam PM report it asap and the banhammer will be applied.:D

It would be good if you could remove any links before quoting the content of any suspect spammage as this particular message had a link that may have had some nasty trojan at the end of it.

No problem Lumi. I've deleted the duplicate though just to keep things tidy.

Spammers have been quite busy recently across all the forums I visit so increased vigilance is needed, I've upped the threat level from pfft to tut.

I got this message. I don't know who they think would follow those links though. Seems like a huge waste of time.

I had a PM earlier today with a suspicious link. It was also sent to Garra and three other members of the forum. Deleted without using link.

Am I the only one that hasn't gotten a pm :sad:
Not even the spammers think I'm worth their time :crying:

(Or maybe I should take that as a compliment (ref. what T-Bag said above), that I'm too smart to fall for anything like that anyway :norty:)
