spam PM: Ultimate Rally
 

Anyone else get it?

First spammers in the posts which I can deal with but now they are pm'ing me AND sending email.

User EFuture, can we ban him?

The rest is the same as monkey's msg.

This is the first time I've seen spam through the pp message system... Maybe it'd be useful to only let members send pm/mail after they've made 20 posts or whatever arbitrary number would make sense. Typically, spammers post 5 or 6 messages before the leave or get banned, so I don't think it'd be unreasonable to have a little bit of a probationary type of period. ?

I received it.

Unfortunately, my balls are made of solid rock.. not steel.

zman,

Just checked my pm and it was EFuture. Maybe he has already left on his own?

Here's the email header which contains his user id number:

hmm, a little research shows the url is managed by Netwrok Solutions for a company called kimpire limited.

A google on that shows the company is out of Hong Kong and also returns this,

Z, I got this exact PM from PP user "umarky"
Colin

Looks like everyone got the message from a randomly named spammer.

Ban 'em all!

I got one from "kirstycampe"

I got the message in the form of an email last night. Spammers ought to be hung by their balls if you ask me. Whatever's going on, it's bogging down the forums here like crazy. I'm on a cable modem and Pelican's responding like a dial up right now :( . Not good!

damn, nothing is sacred anymore. came from a cblingbling here

I know! let's overload their site with a bunch of frivolous requests. anyone have a good spam proggy??

I got it twice and entered the rally. Leno's letting me borrow his 1,100 hp Olds Toronado. SmileWavy
