Just had a PM from this member, he's been a member since 2008 but never made a single post, has anyone else had a pm off him/her?

I got one, reported it to management, who informed me he was hung over, and had left it to Dave. Some people just have no commitment to the forum. :D Got to hand to the spammer, he plays the long game, signs up in 2008, and doesn't send out spam until 7 years later.

Post 760407 by Pinup_gal on 2015-02-21 16:16:08

The hungover one is looking in to this. Don't worry about notifications and no pm being there it will be from a spam account, the pm's are being deleted :)

Post 760411 by Santa on 2015-02-21 16:40:41

Things should be normal if terms of notifications now................if not please let me know :)

Post 760422 by Santa on 2015-02-21 17:31:06

[QUOTE=MRTREE;760417]I still have the notification[/QUOTE] OK, should be gone now :-) For everyone else. The notification count should show accurately next time you receive a PM. You can send yourself a PM if you want a quick fix. Sorry for the inconvenience.
