we have a number of spammers joining the website this weekend, using stolen credit cards to upgrade their account. We're doing our best to keep on top of these, but there is one similarity between them all.. THEY ALL SEND OUT THOUSANDS OF PRIVATE MESSAGES GIVING OUT THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS AND ASKING YOU TO EMAIL THEM!!!! Fool you if you fall for this and do indeed email them, because you'll soon be bombarded with junk email. THIS IS WHY WE DO NOT ALLOW EMAIL ADDRESSES TO BE SENT VIA PRIVATE MESSAGES.

Yep I've had a couple of members PM me to check out empty pms this morning... Anything you're not sure about please contact one of the Mods and DO NOT RESPOND to these people.

usually sent to the guys on the website, from obviously fake female profiles. Always read the profile, see how 'English' the text reads. Some are just nonsense and it's a dead giveaway

I'm receiving LOTS of emails from people wondering why their PM or Nod isn't visible even though they received an email saying they had received one. If you ever get an email to say you have a new PM, but don't see any new PM... it's because a moderator has removed the spammer.

Yip Matt got one this afternoon. Young female giving it all the slushy bit, with e-mail address spelt out but with profile blocked, set alarm bells ringing. Nice to see you guys are on top of it, keep up the good work.

I received notification of a nod by e-mail, but when I accessed the site there was a nod (from a man!) from two weeks ago of which I hadn't been notified at the time. So is something else going on at the same time?

If you have a PM or Nod and you don't think it's legit... PLEASE EMAIL THE MODERATORS IMMEDIATELY VIA THE CONTACT PAGE. We have had MANY today and I'm sure there are more. Please help us to find these idiot spammers who are ruining our community. Do NOT list their usernames in the forum as you may not be right in thinking they're a spammer. Let us investigate and remove the account.

ok this is ridiculous!! Now I'm getting emails asking if the Private Message I just sent is genuine because people are suspicious of it and don't want to open the PM! I can't win, seriously lol
