Spam alert

:!: Dear Forum Admin,

I got a meaningless PM from a member, which makes me suspicious that he/she is a spammer:

Hey,

I'm new here, how's it going?

URL de-activated, was http:// ************

This person seems to have been a member for almost 1 year yet doesn't have a single post. The message is meaningless and not relevant to my id, and seems to be a "come-on" to click the signature link, which I am NOT going to do!

 

I would suggest that the forum admin check how many such messages this person had sent and possibly ban them.

 

Well, I've done my duty. It is now up to you!

Hi pszilard

Thanks for your warning - great job!

I think he/she must have shunned administrator and moderators.

I thought it was someone using the forum as a lovers mailbox.

Cheers

I got the same message that you got PSZILARD. Iopened it because i'm a dummy. I t was a religous message, and I deleted it. [gartbear]

Hi, deville and solbjerg,

 

A pearler is a once-popular slang term used over this way to broadly describe something or someone as: clever, "extra good", a "little beaut", sh*t-hot, a "smart fart" etc. The Spam message, cunningly contrived to lure the unwary into opening it could be described as a "little pearler".

Hi deville and Ted

Yes it was interesting, made me think of "slim" in the old days in South Africa, - crafty/smart, Nowadays it mostly means aids there.
