Spam PM

I just got a spam PM from the user jnoor. That user doesn't appear to be a spam bot account, so somebody should look into it.

And since the latest activity on the account is continually being updated to be "creating private message" I assume I'm not the only person to get this.

BTW, is there an easier way to report spam PMs?

Re: Spam PM

It seems that there is a problem. I just checked all of the logi users and most were creating PMs. I just got hold of Karthik who is at IRI and he will look for Brandon. I have also emailed Brandon. Everybody hold tight while it is being looked into.

Re: Spam PM

just wanted to let you know that user "brasil" is also sending spam PM.

-Leav

P.S.
just FYI the user specifies he is from a certain location, and also specifies a team number which is really from that location...
At the very least this means that ChiefDelphi has been targeted directly:
the whole team number+location thing is not something just any vBulletin forum has.... (thus meaning that someone took the time to find at least one team from a specific location)

Re: Spam PM

Everybody hold tight. Almost all of the users online now are "creating a private message". There is not much we can do until Brandon takes a look at it. Please be patient!

It seems to me that something is using legit user ID's to send these messages. I do not think that those people even know what is happening. Adding names to the list at this time is not necessary and could in the future be harming if some says that they are spammers.

I received one from wingnut1705.

Re: Spam PM

I've got something useful. I found out from someone that one of these came from my account. I logged on and changed my password and now it doesn't happen. Not sure how this helps, but it doesn't show record that I sent a PM. I don't think they are using our real ids. Perhaps they are just pseudo-ids.

Also, add lebren to the list.

Re: Spam PM

If you haven't already, DO NOT OPEN THE PM! Not the kind of thing anyone on CD needs to see; it's ugly. Wait till Brandon or other moderators get this problem solved. It sounds like someone's hacked the system.
