SweetSue Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Hi katleen & Linda The best thing to do when you get a spam pm, is report it, and dont visit the web site it wants you to. yeah and ofcourse delete the pm.It is invasive when it happens, thankfully it dosnt happen often.Take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malign Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Thank you all for reporting this. Someone (Catmom, I think) did ban the person responsible.You can't get viruses just from reading PMs (they're just text), but I do recommend not following any links that you find in them, unless you trust the source. Certainly not on a PM like that one, with multiple addressees. The site that the link directs you to could contain infectious materials of various sorts.We try to keep it from happening often, but that depends in part on people reporting such PMs quickly. We can then ban the source, as moderators do not have any access to the PMs themselves.Oh, and by the way, only a tiny minority of members actually show up in the Member List.
