I received this e-mail today. The chap seems to have changed his identity. Maybe the unidentified gunmen could also assassinate Marius for us.

Having just said in the PHISHING thread that I`d only ever received one such message, I also recieved this one. However, I still stand by my statement:

quote:Originally posted by Me in the PHISHING thread:
   Forum members are individually vetted on application, but if they give kosher looking details, I don`t think there is much more our admins can do beyond deleting accounts as soon as they are identified as spammers.
   I would hate to see the functionality of this site or forum membership for non-ACOC members restricted due to a small spam problem, I hope all would agree?

[administrator]

He is no more.

[nikbj68]

Thanks very much, I see another couple went with him!!!
   We (I hope!) appreciate your efforts in running the site, and hope it continues to grow as I have seen it do since day 1!

[Classicus]

Agreed, is there any IP number ?

   The last 2 have registered with @yahoo.fr email addresses, so I don`t think IP tracing would help much...[:(]

[Classicus]

Perhaps I'm wrong but I've always thought you could get any individual IP number banned, not traced, if you notified the provider (Yahoo) directly ? Might be worth a try just in case ?

I got one of these yesterday, and one again today:

I love the way they are trying to repatriate our charity donations - so thoughtful in these troubled times

I know (not personally of course)of several hundred "trustees", all in US Federal prisons...I'm sure they would help this young man out.
