Title: SPAM in your personal messages
Post by: umberto on December 21, 2018, 01:55:37 AM
It looks like our friends from Stupidville are back after the site.  The site is set up to filter SPAM accounts via connections to the Stop Forum SPAM website, and we add a lot of our own filters, but these guys adjust often so it's hard to stop them all.  This morning I got a message from a member that some one had sent him a SPAM offer for an I-Phone via the site's my message service.  Please be aware that we would never allow someone to solicit through personal message, and that the only products we would recommend buying are through members who are on the site and active for years.  Always ask others for their opinion of a member selling services (unless that person has an area and there is feedback from other members in that section), and watch out for anyone (even established members) selling something not related to motorcycles.  If in doubt, shoot myself or Danger4U2 a message and we'll check it out for you.

There was another visit from the SPAM jerks today, and it appears that the guy sent personal messages again.  Please never click on links in messages from someone you don't know.  I'll try to keep adjusting to their patterns, but some of them are smarter than others.  Please report anything you see (thank you Foxx!).

You're welcome.

It was funny.  Those guys just don't get how much they look out of place when they post.

I usually add a comment, like "looks like trash" after hittin "report to moderator"...but I don't know if its necessary.
