Did I get spammed?

whisky19 · April 15th, 2008, 08:16 PM

I am a member of RugerForums as well as here and there was a problem with someone signing up for a membership and then sending spam to all members.

I recently received a pm from someone on this forum saying they were new and "how was I doing". It seems very similar to the RugerForum situation.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, the member in question that was doing the spamming has been banned.

But, Just for the record... How are you'all doing?

BTW...that Mail Spammer did not last very long here.

We used him for target practice then we tossed him out like an old worn shoe.
