AllowepAlgota (http://forums.wolflair.com/member.php?u=8159) Ban this user name.

AllowepAlgota is a spambot, I keep getting the same private message referring to a Real estate website selling properties in France.

Malgre de l' <a href='http://www.~url deleted~.com/'>~~</a> le site immobilier de petites annonces immobilieres qui s'en sort et qui monte tirent sa chandelle du jeu

I utterly hate Spam, I signed to Lone Wolf February 18th, 2007 with a solitary E-mail used nowhere else just to avoid spam.

Now I get them targeted to my PM box! Grrrrr.

Anybody else getting these messages?

luckly no, but I get email notifications of spam messages in the Realm Works forum which I have subscribed to.

At least the messages are being taken off the site.

We're moderating all posts by new users because there are so many spammers posting these days. Unfortunately the posts still get sent by email, but we can at least keep them off the forums.

Thanks for the warning about AllowepAlgota - I've deleted the messages and banned him.

I can accept that, just wanted to point out the issue if no one had so far :)

it ends up in my spam filter anyway, so I check it semi regularly to see if its something I want to pay attention to, but does not flag for my immediate attention on my iPhone.

CoorkRofkes is also a SPAMMER!! He is sending messages on erection pills. he just joined this month BTW. Someone block and flag not only his account, but also his IP address so he can never recreate an account here again!!

If the message is still in your inbox, let me know who sent it - I banned a couple of people last night and deleted their messages, so it should be gone now. If not, let me know.

I got one via my email sent via the forum. I silly clicked the link that sent me to lone wolf site. I did not click the link the message part . Is the top part of email automated telling you have personal mail ? If so do you think I will be ok.

If not any advice please.
