We have a new member that is spamming others via PM. He is promoting an online pharmacy. Another person spammed for the same pharmacy a few days ago.
Here is some info about the two spammers:
- user name - candyboy
- IP Address - 122.162.153.114
- Asia Pacific Network Information Centre
- New Delhi, Delhi, India
- user name - Hydromen
- IP Address - 210.214.25.215
- Asia Pacific Network Information Centre
- Taramani, Chennai, India
I apologize to everyone who received this blatant spam. Please do not reply to any PMs that attempt to solicit you. Since these creeps resort to spamming, you know the pharmacy is a scam.
Unfortunately this spamming will probably continue. These jerks sign up under another user name, email address and IP. All we can do is block each account when we are made aware of the spam. PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE WHENEVER YOU RECEIVE SPAM. We'll block the accounts and publish the IP.
Thanks.

- Glad I could be of some
- Glad I could be of some help, it seems no one reports these, ???$* i did half of these and it took me all of 30 seconds to report them, so guys if you get random messages like hey, how are you. respond even if you dont know them with a cordial response of good and yourself? then the spam comes and copy from name of sender down to end of message, copy and paste, send to team pharmer, or click report as spam, (i don't think they have a report as spam in the PM box, but we should!)

He does block the IP, as
He does block the IP, as well as username, but can't block email i believe. You can get a new ip address pretty easily though, so an upgrade in the security measures i'm sure will take place in the near future, or at least we all hope so
