Hopefully this is not a new trend, if anyone else gets unsolicited spam in their pm box, please report the username to admin or the mods and they will be gone.

I got one and immediately banned that spammer, I noticed he was pming others while I was banning it so I expect a fair few got the pm. I know golfkart was getting one as I wiped the spammer off the forum.

A lot of spammers are now using "bio-bots" (low paid humans from areas where pay is very low). They can easily get around tests designed to stop automated spamming programs and they don't cost much. All you can do is weed them out quickly so it isn't worth their while trying - it is an example ofthe classic predator/prey evolution principle in action :)

I got one of those spam PM's...

I got excited when i noticed i had a PM.. It's kinda like getting an SMS message, thinking somebody loves you (figure of speech) and then finding out it's Telstra trying to flog you some deal.. haha. :mad:

or vodafone telling you that if you recharge more often (pay them more money) then you'll get bonus credit . they really need a anti spam sms based firewall for phones.
