Hi everyone,
It has come to my attention that a couple of members joined up the forum and then proceeded to send a couple of hundred private messages to other members asking people to contact them.
the main offenders were 2 members named "Mariam" and "angel khalifa".
If you received a message from these 2 members please delete them and ignore them.
they are probably doing the lonely heart routine in order to steal information from you. This is commonly referred to as "phishing".
they are scum bags. do not write to them.
if you get approached by anyone via the personal message system please BE ALERT. and don't trust them!
this is especially true if a member has no posts in the forum. they are the most likely to be scammers.
if you have any questions or concerns regarding this, please reply here.
cheers, glen
