Spam Private messages
 
Is anyone else getting all of a sudden a PM from brand new accounts and have some gibberish about buying or selling something with a gmail address?

Zzorro 10-01-2020 07:20 PM

Yep. Sure did. Ignore!

I got 3, from 3 different new accounts. Oddly they all had Z-tops for sales cheap. 🤷****♀️
Lucky me 🙄

I'm waiting for my email. I'll talk "them" into a COD only. ;)

Hey guys, would you be able to provide any of the usernames these private messages are coming from? This is definitely something we do not want happening on the forums.

Thanks guys, feel free to continue updating this thread with users, we recently updated the new post spam filters which has worked tremendously to catch the bot posters but it seems some of them are taking to private messages that are harder to track.

I got 3 this morning, 1 each from jameandrew48, lewisvelazquez42 and woodsmichael718

Please keep us updated so we can stay on top of these spam accounts, we are dealing with a similar issue on our Mercedes Benz forum
