There have been some PM spam attempts, I have taken action.

Anyone let me know the name of any person that contacts you with Spam.

Funny that you mention it...

I was checking my work e-mail this morning (I know, pretty sad, checking work e-mail on a Sunday morning) and I got a generated notice that a new PM had arrived from you (Scorpiuscat). I deleted it without clicking on the link and came over here to the forums to discover that there were 0 new messages. So it sounds as though they are making the PM rounds.

BTW, in the last few months I've been banning spammers at a rate of one every two-to-three days (occasionally, one every day). Seems as though they stepping up their attacks.

We've had the same issues at the VW Passat board I moderate. They are annoying.

I've been trying to clear them before they do any damage but it is hard to catch all of them.
The PM spam is a new one. Haven't seen that before.
