    should read the first post properly!

    looks from the profile of the person spamming me like they're still PMing now - over an hour later..... i suppose some credit needs to be given for sticking at it that long!!

    no, surprisingly it's not the petrol one

    it's 3 websites about how i can make 10K in a day.... very odd - i sent them a nice reply telling them i expected their account to be blocked soon. i even managed it all politely ;)

    actually, then can only send more spam if they have space in their PM box. if everyone would like to send them PM's to block them for a little, that would amuse me slightly!!

    Fwiw - there appears to be more than one "spammer" at work - but with the same spam offer - I got one earlier (reported) but from another name - but a name which no longer shows on the member list - so I assume (don't know) abuse have removed.

    So.....I'm not....special? :cry:

    :rotfl:

    Anyway - after been a member here for 5 years :eek: this is the first spam pm I've received ,so I didn't know what to do with it :confused:

    Is it worth forwarding it to abuse if it's already been reported? Should I just delete it? :confused:

    Haven't even opened it yet because it was so obviously spam.
