    PM Spammer

    David H. Thought I would start a thread rather than send a PM so others could see this. When I signed in a few minutes ago I had a notification of a PM from "Ratchet" subject "Hi". Body= something like ...if you want a place to find cheap parts for your car go here xxxxx. Under his name it said "Banned" but apparently he is able to do PMs.

    Same. Read the preview in my e-mail notification and recognized it as spam so I deleted it from my PM box here without ever opening it.

    Many of you were sent a PM overnight from a hacked account. Thank you to all who reported the event. And special thanks to Mike Everson, who banned the user.

    The job of fighting off these buffoons is never ending. Spammers SUCK.

    For anyone reading, now we know why they have been hacking the user login recently. You guys all have decent passwords, right?

    I'm sorry Mike, you're right; Jeff Collins did the deed.

    Thank You Guys! As many people as I pi$$ed off these past few weeks for telling it as it is. I'm glad to still have a few friends left.
    It was not a cry for help but again, Thank You. You made my day.
