Yesterday a member registered and started to send spam using the email link in some of the member profiles, possibly only in the FR forums but I want to warn you in case…

It is a "nigerian fraud" scheme : in a convoluted mail about some obscure political reason, Africa related, someone you never heard about before asks you for some help in some financial operation with a huge sums of money in the balance and a % for you. this is what you must know:

IMPORTANT!

- Don't EVER answer to them. They use the email sending facility of the forums, they don't have your address. But if you answer they will! Your emails have never been, are not and won't ever be public in any way. Don't make their job easier.
- The whole affair is a fraud. The only money in the balance is yours, don't even think it may be a good opportunity, there's no millions awaiting for you.
- Report the offenders with the mail to the moderators using PMs. We will ban the offenders on the spot.

In case you received on of his emails, mrs56 our first offender will be banned as fast as possible by our webmaster.

I'll look forward to find a way to keep the email service and to keep these morrons away. Sorry for the inconvenience.
