Ditto.... 2 emails and PM's

I'll get the guys at work to check the resultant links for malware when I get into the office.

the emails came from a techvault addy?
Can you give us some details if so please

Have you got "notify me if I get a PM" turned on?

We are not amused by this aerosol and the matter will be dealt with Wink

1)It's not spam as such. In your profiles you have things set so that your are emailed whenever you receive a PM on the site. If you want to stop that, edit your profiles.
2)Right now, the only way I can think of removing them from each individuals profile is if the affected individuals (not everyone has been targetted) pm me. I may then reset their password, log in as them and delete the offending PM. I've seen goatse, I think I can survive anything now.
3)There may be a better way to do this, I'm waiting for dad to show.
4)The particular user is banned right now, but not removed yet. I want to keep his details around a little longer for tracking purposes. Looks like an aol customer (colour me surprised). abuse@aol.com will probably be contacted.

Ditto

I have the 2 PMs but haven't checked my emails yet.

Only odd thing i noticed that it is obviously in my PM inbox, all the other messages i have there say 'sent to TopPopMopTop etc etc'
but the spam one says sent to *another forum member* yet it's in my inbox?  AFAIK you can't forward PMs?

p.s. if you're the other forum member then i didn't send it to you!!!!
