Recently we have again been spammed by some person registering and using the PM system to send a message that starts;

Dear ,

I am Mrs Kindness Obe ,I am married to late Mr Robert Obe , that worked with the Ivory Coast port authority for Twenty-Six years before he died in the year 2003,after a brief illness that lasted for only five days.


If you receive one of these, please delete it immediately and notify an admin or moderator, giving us the member's name. The accounts of those spamming our board will be removed and the offender banned. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our forum as spam-free as possible.

Thanks to all who sent a notification to me about this latest round. Last time he/she was stupid enough to send me one. :dry:

Isn't there some aggressive action that can be taken against these spammers. In Matt's latest editorial he talks about his email being overrun by spam, as is everyone else's.! His response is to look for an email alternative.?? Come on! we're all better than that, must we abandon this great tool to a bunch of criminals? :ph34r:
