PMs recieved from new posters with 0 posts

[pendragon1998]

Upon returning from my weekend field trip (with a nasty chest cold and 102 degree temperature...sigh) I found several PMs in my box here on the board from newly registered members with 0 posts. One from "Smeeter" was trying to get me to go to www.savemoneyonebay.net (DON'T FOLLOW THAT LINK). The second one from "pgilkes" was purportedly from the senior staff writer of coin world asking for my name and state so he could quote my posts from the board in an article he was writing.

 

Both members, as I said, just registered and have not posted. It makes me suspect they are attempting to scam me. I have therefore not responded to their PMs.

 

Arch: do you have anything to say about this? Anyone else: have you gotten similar messages?

Maybe they just recognize you for your magnetic charm, or not.

There was a spam going around this forum for someones song to listen too. The forum may be starting to get invaded.

smeeter deleted immediately

the other one I am sure his regular email must be available for you to contact direct and Paul Gilkes is a writer for them

I received a PM from Paul Gilkes, too. Now I don't feel so special. He provided all the contact information that you need to confirm that he is who he claims to be.

Smeeter's PM went the way of the song PM........ Instant Delete.

(Assuming that the contact info in the PM is the real contact info for the real Paul Gilkes)

I got the one from smeeter and ask what the link was before I went there. No reply.

We've seen a few spammers here and there on the boards. We ban them pretty quickly. So far it hasn't been a big problem, just an occasional ripple.

That one from smeeter I went to I think he stole my password.

I think the Web Architect is looking into this spam.
