Post by John W. Howard »

Did anyone else receive the " I am a poor orphan from Africa with millions to invest with your help" scam in a private message here on Feldgrau? Thought I would ask and let Jason know that we are being infiltrated from within!! Best wishes.

Well, anybody can sign-up to be a member. Probably some low life did so with the bright idea of then sending these PM's around. But we're one step ahead of them - we can ignore these here just the same as anyplace else :D

Oh well... poor Miss Zeynabou. What's she to do? Now, if you feel that tugging at your heart and want to help, please PM me with your bank account information and I'll do my part :wink: to make sure Miss Z gets what's coming to her.

I'm on this one... I have banned the users in question and deleted any private messages they sent. I apologize if anyone has still received the spam they sent. It's kind of heart warming though, if you think about it. I always assumed those messages were sent by machines, now I realize someone must have registed with an account and physically sent the messages one by one to various users. Hard to believe but some barely sentient human is sitting around actually taking time to send these messages out... Unless the computers have gotten REALLY smart. :shock:

Hi

Jason, can you get a hold off me as I would like to know if you still offer web space and email addresses as part of your fund raising for the site.

Cheers
