Spammers!

Hello!


No complaints here, just a heads up.


The following are all spammer emails:
mj7699426@gmail.com
austinmich155@gmail.com
jaydendylan314@gmail.com
seanlucas466@gmail.com


It's happened twice in two weeks now.



My posts must be so lame that the only responses I get are spammers trying to steal from me through PayPal.

Got spammed again today through this site. Same emails.

Can the moderators do anything?

I've been using PP for a decade or more and the spam has never been this bad.

The name is Joelson that keeps emailing me.

Nah you don't get scammed until you send money.


Here's another one.


"I have someone that have this for sale In good and excellent condition pm jamesjohn57433@yahoo.com if you’re still interested thank you." User is kellyjohn6643



Is there a way to police this better on this site?

And again today by gabrielleoddin.

Is there any effort being made to cut back on the spam bots on this forum?

At the moment, I get more responses from spammers than actual people unfortunately.
