As the news reporter & moderator of this forum, the spammer also spammed me with same thing!
tipsy
yes I as well got the same spam and I have forwarded the complaints to lgwong as well as I personally emailed the company and sent the email to them telling them (the reason it doesn't work is because thanks came up if you delete thanks her site comes up) maybe they'll delete her account and that will teach her not to spam here.. I would advise everyone else to do the same.... All I can say guys is I'm sorry it happened. This person has to be extremely brave to send the spam to a moderator aa.gif

I received the same thing and sent a copy to Igwong. If they find it so easy to SPAM so many people as a new person in this forum, I would hate to see what happens when they become regulars. ao.gif
lgwong
This spammer has been banned.

I have now changed the setting of this forum. This forum will no longer support members to members email. Your email address will be displayed if you do not choose to hide email address in your control panel.

If you do not want any more spam from spamming members. Please choose to hide your email address in the control panel!

Don't forward it to spamcop, because this guy is sending the mail thru this forum. My mailserver will become blacklisted if you forward his mail to spamcop.

This incidence force me to change the setting so that this forum no longer act as a middle man for members to members email.

I don't know if I received this email or not. If it doesn't come from one of the paid to read programs I am a member of or one of my advertisers, it gets deleted immediately.

Don't worry, lgwong, I didn't end up FW it to spamcop - I sent the mail and their e-mail addy to the company they were spamming for, and to one of your moderators.
