PM Spammer

[CraigS]

David H. Thought I would start a thread rather than send a PM so others could see this. When I signed in a few minutes ago I had a notification of a PM from "Ratchet" subject "Hi". Body= something like ...if you want a place to find cheap parts for your car go here xxxxx. Under his name it said "Banned" but apparently he is able to do PMs.

[Gordon Levy]

[mrmustang]

Ditto

[JimiD]

[christenfreedman]

[Bren]

Yep

[H R Lucky]

I got the same message from same person.

[edwardb]

Man, I thought I was the only one lucky enough to have gotten that PM. Now I have to fight with you guys to get those great deals. :rolleyes:

[Jeff Kleiner]

Same. Read the preview in my e-mail notification and recognized it as spam so I deleted it from my PM box here without ever opening it.

Ditto.

Many of you were sent a PM overnight from a hacked account. Thank you to all who reported the event. And special thanks to Mike Everson, who banned the user.

The job of fighting off these buffoons is never ending. Spammers SUCK.

For anyone reading, now we know why they have been hacking the user login recently. You guys all have decent passwords, right?

:)

[stevenburgess]

[michael everson]

Wasn't me that banned him. I have no access. I did get the PM though

[David Hodgkins]

I'm sorry Mike, you're right; Jeff Collins did the deed.

Mine is P@ssword123. Is that a good one? I think the "@" will fool the hackers.

[David Hodgkins]

Oh. You. Guys. Are. Hilarious.

:D

Must be a good one. I have the same one. ;)

I'm feeling a bit left out, I didn't get the infamous hacker PM. I haven't gotten any PM's in months. Sadface :(

[aarvig]

Got one too. Notice he was banned right away.

I got it also, how do I delete with out opening?

[mrpipes]

I got one from rachet too. I thought it meant there were rodents in my inbox.

I just changed mine from "1" to "2" they'll never figure that one out :D :D :D

[frankeeski]

No sad faces allowed!

Turn that frown upside down. See? Now you got a PM

Frank, I saw your post and thought I would help raise your spirits. Only nine weeks until HB!:cool:

Thank You Guys! As many people as I pi$$ed off these past few weeks for telling it as it is. I'm glad to still have a few friends left.
It was not a cry for help but again, Thank You. You made my day.

[RdstrRod]
