eagle_eye222001 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) Received the migniliz one or however you spell it. 1. Whenever I see "Please Help" or anything like that in an email, pm or what-not, I'm immediately suspiscious. 2. I did not recognize the sender. Another red flag. 3. A link to .ru Red flag. 4. Person had no posts.... and generally spammers don't waste time posting so a low low post count is another red flag. So yeah I didn't even bother googling it. Smart idea but 4 red flags is enough to tell me to not click the link. Was going to forward it to a mod but I see the situation has been taken care of. Did they hand send all those....or did they use a program? Also, I thought you didn't have pm ability until you had like 5 posts or something? I know I didn't have it when I first joined. edit Just noticed the mikiliz guy joined on April 6.....interesting.

You used to need 10 posts to PM, etc., but it got changed during the server switch. I'm not sure if Dust is changing it back or not, hopefully he does because it eliminates things like this.

rhetoricfemme Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 [quote name='Hilde' post='1828654' date='Apr 8 2009, 06:02 AM']I got a PM from someone with zero posts, saying "please help" but no porno or nothing. Did anyone else get this, or is this someone else?[/quote] Yep. I googled the name and the same name is subscribed to random forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilac_angel Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) [quote name='Ash Wednesday' post='1828645' date='Apr 8 2009, 07:45 AM']Anybody else getting PM's from porno spammers from Russia? Just wondering. [/quote] I dunno, I didn't go to the link. It was the 'please help' Russian one. I think I got spammed on other forums that I've been inactive on, too. I didn't check the messages on the others, though, just this one. I haven't gotten messages on other forums in an eternity. Those evil spammers must work extra during Holy Week.
