They are even sending private messages to posters who post on here that they are thinking of switching touting for business.


Should they be doing this?

    Nope - There are clear and unequivocal conditions that commercial posters accept on signup. If they abuse them then they are out straight away.

    I also got a PM - I just opened it, then used the "report" button on the bottom right hand side of the message. When you report it, it then asks you if you want to delete it. End of problem.
