    I don't think there is much that can be done except ignore them as they will just eep signing in with different names!
    if everyone ignores them and doesn't click on links e.t.c hopefully they will get bored and give in?

    am sure if people keep reporting them they will get banned. but then they always come back with a different username.

    so far i've had pm's from that kev bloke and the antimartin one as well. they seem a bit dim tbh. they don't seem to understand that most who use this board are from the uk.

    Antimartin and kentavr are the same person. Obvious by the similar mistakes in English.

    I didnt get any pm from either of them. I thought "antimartin" was a clever name you made up to describe a spammer, taxi!!! Fancy anybody coming on to Martin Lewis' site, describing themselves as "antimartin" and expecting people to take it up!! Very dumb.

    I'd put money on them being scammers from Nigeria. You can just tell from the way it's written. :rolleyes:

    But you can get your own back! :rotfl:

    If you can't be bothered to read it all, at least look at the pictures! :D
