Spambots are invading

[Snotnarok]

I log in to find that I have a message, a PM? By who I don't really-really know anyone here, so I read and I find myself disappointed, I thought maybe someone had PMed me but instead it was a something, a spambot!

Spaaaaaaaaam tastic, I was going to just contact a mod but I'm not even sure how to tell who's a mod around here. SO, let's make a topic outta this! Got any spam around here besides just topics? And perhaps this very post? *eerie music*

 

[HardRockSamurai]

Yeah, I got the same message as well. Deleted it straight away.

Mind you, that has to be the least convincing spam I've ever seen. No promises of sexual favors. No claims of Nigerian royalty. It's like they're not even trying!

 

[DragonsAteMyMarbles]

Yup, got exactly the same thing. Mods SMASH!...please?

(The user in question is "deborah56" or something, just so the mods know who to SMASH.)

I look forward too meeting you [USERNAMEHERE]

But seriously, very easy to spot.

 

[Kollega]

Got the same message right now. Alerted mods in two different ways. Now it's three,actually.

But seriously,obvious spambot is obvious.

 

[Mr. Grey]

I didn't get one... now I feel left out.

*sigh*

But it'll be dealt with eventually. As most things are in time.

 

[FluffyNeurosis]

Oh thank god it?s some sort of spam robot?. I thought I was being hit on by a 12yr old who skipped English class and it made me feel unclean.

 

[Lullabye]

*sniffle* a-and I thought someone finally wanted to be my friend!!!!!Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhaaaaahaaa!*sniffle*
I will find hte one responsible, and make him PAY for tricking my innocent mind!

 

[Fasckira]

Shes pretty hot to be honest, she explained to me how her dad recently died and her town is controlled by a gang of hired thugs for the local don. Apparently if I paypal'd her £500 this would be enough for her to get of the town and in return she would split her father's buried treasure with me which is apparently in the realms of the millions.

Naturally I paypal'd her right away, but Ive not heard back from her yet. Hope everything is ok.

 

[Lullabye]

Huh, I never got that one. Weird.

heh, you know ur hated when even spam is avoiding you.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Aint got one yet and since it's most likely a problem it'll be taken care of...but damn sometimes Spammers are really that determined to get ya so they'll come back

 

[Outofideas]

Even the spambot doesn't send me any mail. =,(

Sorry man I was just feeling lonely and needed a friend
/sarcasm

If you want to see spambot central look at yahoo chatrooms.

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

It seems that there is a wave of these spam/scam messages going about. Wasn't it just a few weeks ago someone created a Nigerian money scandal message?. Oh well..

 

[Lullabye]

What are you implying?

.....nothing, nothing at all.

 

[Snotnarok]

I'll spam ya!! To the PM device!

 

[Ultress]

I was stupid and tried to reply, yes I'm that lonely. There were little flags in my head saying ignore it but the e-mail didn't work so who cares.

Yeah me too. I just said "who the hell are you and what do you want?"

Nothing bad can come from that, can it?
