[Ekhaatvensters]

Hey guys I recieved this in my PM inbox today, the user has 0 posts and im guessing he spammed this to everyone.

Did anyone else get this? Its pretty obviously some kind of scam, I hardly bothered to read it.

Contact one of the mods and let them know who the user is

I thought this was the place where mods might give it some attention. but Iwas about to forward it to a mod, when i realised i couldnt remember any o their usernames off hand.. njow a few spring to mind.. but im shure they'll get to it from here.

Did anyone else get this? Id find it weird if some Nigerian signed up and only targeted me for a random PM and moving $50 million.

If you want to get the mods etc. just click on forum leaders @ the forum index, it shows you all the mods and rpm. If I were you I'd stick to BTTB, antowan, ic and Debbie2, they are the most online, you could try rpm, but he's a busy man

I am the unfortunate one that get about 10 -15 of those 419 e-mails per day.

yeah, so how much have you inherited so far ol' buddy

[BTTB]

Contact one of the mods and let them know who the user is

Just click the report post button and state the user's name.
Or better still, forward the Mods the PM as it will give the user's name.
Antowan or IC will ban the spammer immediately.

Thanks,
BTTB

Thanks BTTB, i kind of knew this, but thought Id like to know something about the PM too, so I posted it here for some info.

Is there a report post button on PM's?

[Debbie]

Another user has reported receiving a 419-type spam vis private message.

To further what BTTB says, I suggest that users please forward any of these type spam PMs to ic or Antowan, so that spamming nicks can be banned as soon as possible. Please also note in your PM title that you are reporting a Spam PM.

If the spammer has any posts anywhere on the forum, then you can fwd the spam pm to any mod, who can then ban the spammer. This is only if the spammer has posts on the forum.

PMs do not have a 'report bad post' button. If you forget who you should inform about spam on the forum, remember that you can always go back to the main forum page and click on 'view forum leaders' :http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showgroups.php

Got one from user "kingsley", but inside message says "hens001" which is already banned.
Reported.
Another reason why I've blacklisted all Yahoo mail addy's in my mailwasher filters - automatically sends to spamcop and deletes...
Yahoo mail sux anyway!
