Spam via PM

Crossfire Bulldogs · 11-04-2005, 12:16 PM

I've been noticing over the past few days that its possible that many of our members are being spammed via PM. Sometimes this comes in the form of an advertisement for another forum or many other things where the member wants you to click on a link. A few members that I believe have gotten information of this type have gotten a PM from me with this exact same information posted here.

Occasionally these links also contain worms and virus codes that can effect your computer. With this in mind please be assured that Global Paw will never send anything to you requesting your password or personal information after you've become a member. Should you get a PM from someone containing spam in any form or asking for your password / personal information please report it to me as soon as possible with the PM copied into yours so that we can prevent this from effecting our members.

Thanks!
