Title: Spammers
Post by: Tregosy on April 03, 2019, 05:31:03 PM
I am a little concerned about people such as SharonRamm from Russia posting utter twaddle!

is this some attempt to get into our computers?

Can admin sort this out.

I getting worried enough to consider leaving the group as i do not understand computers enough to know mine is safe if I click a link

Did you report the posts?
Yes, I did.
If in doubt, never click any link.

Just don't click on any links unless you can see it is by an obvious member of the forum.  :smiley:

There is far too much help, advice and knowledge on here to leave due to some lonely Russia lady looking for her next conquest  :nono:

 They're coming thick and fast at the moment these spammers but thankfully we are banning them as soon as they join. 😁

If you click on their name to the left of their post, it takes you to their stats/info page.
If the have only just registered, only made one post or have posted very close to their register time/date then beware.
Most genuine members will say a hello in the introductions section before posting elsewhere.

Thank you all. I am ok with the obvious ones like this, I am worried about better skilled spammers but I now feel reassured that admin is monitoring! A few years ago I lost a computer when a link that looked like it had come from my brother downloaded a virus and locked out my hard drive!

They come in spurts on our forum.  I use the sword on them if I get to them first.
