Spamming Via The PM System

Spamming Via The PM System

PostBy: Richard S. On: Sat Jun 30, 2012 7:15 pm

We've had a member attempting to use the PM system for spam, approximately 50 messages were sent but most of them have been deleted before they reached the recipients. :)

If in the future you get any unsolicited emails offering products please use the forward button on the PM to send it to me.

Thanks.

So I made a phone call and this is a company we've had previous problems with. They have been warned, if they do it again the Mayor is going to write a review on their business practices.

Well Fred I have to thank two members who sent me a PM when they went out. The funny thing is it's little bit of work to send 50 PM's. Takes me all but one click to empty someones outbox. LOL

A few tall Oaks with limbs low enough to solve the problem in your area?

I have this ash tree that is about 3 foot in diameter at it's base in my front yard. :P

After my discussion with the person on the phone I'm pretty sure the problem is solved. ;)
