Spammer - private messages
Posted: Fri Nov 29, 2013 12:15 pm
A spammer who recently signed up (and escaped our purging, when we deleted a bunch of spambots) sent spammy private messages to most of the forum users this morning. It was just a couple of links to some software they were trying to promote; the messages had the title "I need your help..." or "I need your advice!". I deleted the user (Sandrasype) and also deleted the private messages, for people who hadn't already seen and deleted the message.
However, the emails notifying people of the private messages had already gone out. So if you got an email about a private message from this user, and tried clicking on it only to be told that the private message couldn't be found, that's why.
