Mark J Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 I woke up this morning to find a PM from a stranger and new member, 'woodworkxrtb'. This was nothing more than a poorly worded advertisement/solicitation. It's the first time I've seen or heard of something like this, but it looks like this might be the latest advertising/fraud method being employed. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ..Kev Posted October 12, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Thanks for letting us know, the spammer has been removed. Usually, these spammers just leave a post, it gets reported, and the spammer gets banned and their content removed. The PM is a new twist so, I would suggest not clicking on any links they may have and report them. You can delete the spam PM as well. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ..Kev Posted October 12, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Additional heads up since there seems to be an influx of spam lately.. New members won't be able to send a PM right away. They'll have to contribute to the forum before their status is upgraded which will allow them to send a PM. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave H Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hmm, this had me thinking people were sending pic's of themselves in nothing but a shop apron, this was way less disturbing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just brought up a picture of Walter White cooking meth in the RV. Ugh, not pretty. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bankstick Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hmm...I remember when the only Spam available was in a can. If I don't know who an email or PM is from, I don't open it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
