I found a SPAM letter in my PM box. It was titled, "Thank you", and when I clicked on it the message only had a link to some blank page. I deleted it. Sorry I never thought to get the name for a mod.

Anyone else getting this? It's the first time its happened to me.

[cg51]

[wendovertom]

Got one too. If you click the link (oops) it takes you to a web page that just says "Thank you!".

Scott and Ryan are working on this spam problem.
Bear with them for a bit as they try to resolve the trouble.

If you get or see some spam PM us and let us know the offending posters name and please DO NOT respond to them or follow any links they provide.

Thanks

I've had two. Didn't click on them.

PMed Ztex, and posted a note in the off topic.

Yep. It seemed to slow my computer down. I know I was the sucker to click on it but it looked legit.

I don't understand SPAM usually targets forums with inactive boards and activity. It is what killed us-aircraft.com's old forums back in 2005-2007. It pretty much ruined us-aircraft as people got fed up and left. I am trying to save the site now since we got a new forum by Proboards back in 2007. But the damage had already been done!

Received the same "Thank You" pm from jikoms4 as well.
