    what's up with this? PRIVATE MESSAGE SPAM ALERT

    Discussion in 'Support & Feedback' started by ronmatt, Feb 12, 2010.

    I got this 'private message' which doesn't make a lick of sense to me...See attachments. I'm on a Mac. How am I getting PC virus warnings?

    It's called spam, Ron. These are fraudulent messages sent by malevolent internet pests. For your own safety, DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS OR BUTTONS THAT MAY BE CONTAINED IN THES MESSAGES.

    If you or anyone else receives such a message, and the originator has not yet been banned, use the Report Private Message icon [​IMG] at the right end of the header bar at the top of the message.

    The moderator (the REAL ones) will receive a notification and we will ban the spammer as soon as possible.

    NOTE: No authorized forum administrator or moderator has a user name containing words like Moderator, Admin, ForumTeam, or similar. These names have been chosento deceive members into believing the have received a legitimate forum communication. DO NOT BE DECEIVED!

    The members of the real administrator/moderator team members can be found by clicking on the View Forum Leaders link at the bottom of the forum home page.
