deleted account Maybe I'm being naive but I don't understand what 'they' gain from doing such a thing ? Would he have spammed every member with PMs ? Luckily he was contained in the Intro section.....

? lost ? That email is used a lot by spammers. Just wondering. Doubt we will see or here from him again but if I am wrong I will apologise. Well spotted Andy! It has certainly opened my eyes quite a bit, not very knowledgeable about this sort of thing and what to look out for. I know a bit more now - every day is a school-day!

Luckily he was contained in the Intro section..... I have never understood spammers. But I know that the AGF get hundreds. But I could be wrong here. But I remember spammers joining the AGF and sending PM's to members who had wanted ads or slaes ads.

Luckily they can't gain immediate access to the forum just by joining up and they have to go through the 'intro' section first before being given a full membership. Well spotted Andy !

I'm the same as you Mark, never knew such a thing existed until just now

I would hazard a guess that all members with 0 posts or no intro are spammers.
