PM from a new member ... a safe one ?

[fernando]

It might be a normal situation, but i wonder :confused:
Just received a PM from a member registered today, under name GOLSILV, saying hello and invinting to visit his website ... which link i preferred not to open, so far :cool:
I just thaught that, if a new member wants to salute existing members by using this method, he will have to send dozens of PM's.
Why doesn't he use the simpler way of saluting everybody via the current Forum ?
Would it be that he is not used to these things, or is it foul play ?
Also surprising is that his public profile is already available, instead of the recent "quarantine" status new members have been subject to ... this correct ?
Could the staff check this out ?
If this was all of good intent, i will gladly apologize to GOLSILV.
... This is all about safety :shrug:

Same for me.
I fully agree with you Fernando.

Always happy with new members, but safety first!

I think the administration will look into what to do about this .
The inclusion of a link disturbs me .

In the meantime please be cautious .

I took the risk (on a public computer) and it is an advertisement to get into a money making scheme - DON'T DO IT! :eek:

:mad: Sicko son-of-a-brick! :mad:

Thanks for being the sacrificial lamb Jose . ;) :D

Repeat, if you get PM's from someone you don't know feel free to copy and paste and send to a forum Moderator .
Don't open ANY links .

It's spam--I got the same PM. Sorry for the inconvenience, folks.

golsilv will bother you no more... ;)

I even get left out of spam now! No PM here :mad:

It takes some clever programming to get around the five-address limit (I somehow doubt anyone sat and sent out spam to 5 members at a time). If only these people used their skills for something useful. :cool:
