I assume this has already be reported but, just in case:-

Hello and how are you? I am sending you this for the reason that I stumbled upon something EXTRAORDINAY.

You have most likely seen this business before, but in my country we are very limited and I just can't believe what

is offered by this [mod: link to spamming scumbags removed] has not only it's own

FREE autoresponder. But has it's own Landing pages leaving just the task of sending traffic.

I wanted to promote this to you because if your not in a network marketing company already then your missing out.

Go and take the free trial and check it out. It's worth checking!

Cannot find the post, did you get it by PM? Give us a bit more info so we can deal with it.

Have banned the user anyway

If you click on the Red Triangle Exclamation Button top right you will access a mod directly and all you have to do is to write the word Spam, nothing else is necessary.

That's what the thing is (largely) there for. :)

Red triangle? Tut, you can't expect somebody of my age to see one of those! :)

Thanks for the h/up.

OK, this is the first I've heard of this particular spam - Red triangle will not work for PM spam, best thing you can do is PM a moderator and we will ban the user and investigate if any more robust action is warranted.

Pete, look at the timelines. My (hopefully friendly) advice was posted before it was established that it was a PM spam that was being referred to. :o

Quite frankly I've never before heard of one of those, one lives (albeit just) and learns.

I got the same PM. I think I reported it correctly. :(

I suspect a significant number of us will have been targets.

I realise that, the comment was to Finless who had only just found out about the red triangle

Well - I didn't know about the red triangle, so if nothing else, thanks for that!! I'll just check and see if my other fora have a similar device! :o
