Default Spam

Every time I send a PM I end up with spam. Usually 3 or 4 per day and fortunately this last for only a few days. Most, if not all, deal with investments or market reports.


This has happened every time a PM is sent and they are all to different members so it seems site related, not coming from individual members.

Is anyone else experiencing the same?

According to Rob Miskosky this is impossible. Even though it has happened to other members and their own IT guys at there place of work confirmed that it indeed did come from here.

Looks like this fella had the same problem and opened his mouth to the mods.

I saw that discussion a while back and assumed it was perhaps one member or whatever.

However after sending every PM, to different people, I have received spam. So its not member related. I am sure it is also not moderator or operator related. I'm no IT guy but seems obvious to me that there is a worm or something in here.

No more PM's for me.

maybe copy and PM the spam to Rob Miskosky who swore up and down what you are recieving is impossible. I did numerous gun deals with Win94 and was floored when he was banned as was numerous other members. Maybe Rob needs an eye opener.

Done, but sent him a copy of the most recent by e-mail, not PM!

Is the spam coming to your email or is it coming as a PM? Also, are both parties getting the spam messages?

comes to my e-mail address but the "to" address on the e-mail is not even remotely close to mine.

I don't know if the other party is receiving the same spam or not.

Hmmm never have had the problem myself communicate on the pm's quite a bit and have never experienced it.

As far as win94 goes,, well Rob owns this site and if he felt it neccesary to remove someone well,, thats his porogative. I have went off on my own nasty rants a few times and I have gotten my warnings and I can tell you that I have been treated fair and if win94 was banned it must have been for good reason.
