Spam issue on board

Post: # 2042000Post skeptic »

Hi everyone, just FYI - there may be an issue with people receiving spam private messages with links.

There’s stuff in the background going on here that the admin are working on and they’ve been notified of the escalation.

If you get any such PMs, delete and don’t click on links

You mean the Barrister who has tracked me down after a long lost relative has left me $50M US in an overseas bank account may not be genuine???😳

We’ll see who’s right when the $20 grand I sent to him to complete the paperwork and release the funds clears and I’m rolling in cash 😉

Yeah, got the bath one too. Who has a bath these days? Shower restoration may have got my attention ... on second thoughts, nah.

I got one from a member that joined only 4 days ago.

Straight away I thought 'Nup, dodgy'

You need an electronic shredder. I'm selling them at $29.99 for Saintsational members...my normal price is 39.99

I'll pm you my bank details and then I'll email you the info once you've deposited the money in my account

Just kidding mate. :mrgreen: don't click on anything and delete the message

Every pm you receive goes to your private message Inbox. You need to open the message. When you open the message, you are not clicking the link contained in the body of that message

Individual messages in your Inbox allow you to delete them once opened. You just click the 'X' in the top right hand corner

To delete the spam message or any other message.

Go to your inbox.

In your list of messages there should be a box to click on the right of the screen below the word "Mark". Click the box that corresponds to the spam.

Scroll down to the bottom and on the right there should be a drop down menu which defaults to mark/unmark as important. Select "delete marked"

Click on "Go"

The Japanese love spam. For them it's a delicacy.
