Potential SPAM Email

[Wassa]

Just received an email from Dersterman.

It was relating to scanning my PC for potential viruses.

Be warned it may be SPAM so delete it :wtf:

Hi Sue I was just going to send a PM to the abovementioned person:attack: but alas before I could tell him to FO he's vanished:wtf:. So SPAM indeed.
Happy NEw year Pete

I took care of them !

[HyperQLD]

He PM'd me twice, plus i got one last week saying the same thing from some one different,

as i run linux i know i have no problems with virus's

i reading somewhere that ove 100,000 australians fell for e mail scams last year

Me too it is potentially harmful if you open it looks like a trojan.

As I won't be rallying for a while I think I might leave the forum, have to much stuff on the computer to risk an attack. Seems to happen regularly here I'm on losts of forums never had a problem don't know if it is the software or what.

Anyone else gets PM'd best thing you can do is delete it don't follow links or open it. I full AGV kit and it detected a problem as my PM's go to my email.

By for now

Yah guys, dont click on any of the links that you get send through your messages, only if you are aware, or know the person that u are receiving a message from, or trust them. :attack:

It's getting a little out of hand.

I'm sure on another forum (may have even been BMSC it was so long ago that I joined), that you couldn't post or send PM's until you had written an intro for yourself and then been approved by the mods.

Maybe something to consider here?

[Whitey]

I have temporarily disabled the PM system.
Thanks for your patience while we deal with these dickheads.

Thanks Whitey you are a legend for everything you do for this site cos I for one wouldn't know where to start..... thanks again :clap::clap::clap::clap:

[Whitey]

Thanks Bek :kissme:

It is certainly a thankless task.

[Whitey]

:surfin: OK, I have implememted some counter measures :rolleyes:

Lets see how it goes...

[Redwarf]

Gday Whitey,

Seems to be the season for it. I'm a mod on another board, and the amount of spam traffic we normally stop is huge, but over the last couple of weeks has bordered on biblical.

I feel your pain. :grouphug:

Cheers

on the hyper forum, every new account need to be approved by an admin member, creates a little extra work but it works in keeping all the bots off the forum

[ernysxl]

We got another one:

GRADY.JAE

[Col Vic]

Already fixed John

[ernysxl]

Does anyone know how come we are getting SPAM members on a daily basis. I thought we had put some significant hoops in the way to stop this?:confused:
