NOTICE: Phony 'Admin' PM's..
 

PLEASE NOTE..

A number of you may have received phony alert PM's from a "LadyXAdmin" warning of a virus and inviting you to check at a website as shown below... Just ignore.

This is a spammer that was deleted this morning while doing registration approvals...

Do NOT respond to the suggested link as it was reported that it will launch a trojan response..

Sorry...
Steve


Important message from the forum administration!

A virus alert was noticed on your computer.
We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately: http//antivirus.effectmeds.com/

Sincerely, Forum Administration www.derbytrail.com.

Then ignore my PM I just sent you. Zero posts and 1969 join day sure give-aways

Ignore my PM, too. Sorry I didn't scroll down the threads far enough before I pm'd you! (In the words of that great philosopher, Homer Simpson, "D'oh!")

Ooops - ignore mine too.

I feel left out..didn't get one

must be the 'Troll Spray' working

Or that the spammer knows damn well that guys like GBBob and I know full well of the plethora of viruses we have.

Not to mention the sh+t in my computer

me too

You're not special. :p

If anyone would like a list of free programs that will keep all but the most retarded (drugS like) computer users' computers clean, I can provide a list of software that I use to keep people's machines running better than new.

would love a list, have PC-cillin and spybot

Mine went directly to spam ...

At least the last guy sent out porn, not that I got any of that either. I'm starting to get a complex. :mad:

PM me your email address and I'll send you links to this stuff.

Some of that stuff just seems to cause more problems imo.

I just got it.... In the PM....and remembered the post.. Also addressed to
dave6107,dalakhani,TitanSooner & Minnskinny

XandderrMan is another spammer that needs to be deleted
 

I don't need to say it but XandderrMan is sending private messages about spam links please don't click on the link.

XandderrMan needs to go away

already done i'd think...got a reply when i forwarded to steve, so i'm figuring he handled things.

ok, I'm slow just thought I'd mention it just in case

I got the PM from XandderrMan as well.

As I've written, I'm at a loss to prevent these but am now exploring how PM use can be restricted until restrants are approved.

Set the minimum post count to 10 or 20 for private messaging privileges.

Interesting choice of words considering I know you know what kind of PMs float around here

Morty says we are special.

Darn - I thought I had a secret admirer!

Razzorr Man is a spammer too.
 

Just a heads up.

Please take into account
 

I got the message also

they are persistant

yeah, got two pms from him. a shame that someone has such a pathetic life. must suck to be him!

Yup, me too. It's a PITA to log back into the forum only to find out some jerk is practicing jerkism and probably typing with one hand, too.

Sorry - I'm bad.

lol
don't apologize for being bad ever.

Pretty irksome situation. I am blocking IP and Email addresses based on the activity of them, but this is the 3rd different entity. Still working on not allowing new but unapproved registrants access to the PM system. That's the long term solution.

Sorry for the annoyance.

I think I just figured out how to change a setting that will prevent unapproved registrants from PMing!! I'm confident that will end this problem...

Steve, we all appreciate your efforts here, but really, it could have waited until the end of the game!

Just got the same PM.

'Just got'? Time stamped when? Because Razzorr account was deleted more than an hour ago.

Can you tell if my computer has a virus?
 

I've been getting private messages saying:
"Hello, friend. There are viruses' activities from your computer in last few days."
All I do is occasionally post without links, pictures, etc. The PMs have a link.

Sounds like an ad trying to get you to click on something, probably a naughty site of some sort

Don't click on the link in the PM.
