I know for a fact my computer is not infected with anything. Furthermore, I am behind two firewalls and and encoded router, so how could the admins on this site know? This message can't be sincere. It has to be from a hacker. I don't dare click on that link. Has anybody else gotten a message like this?

Hi Guys,

Please, please, please, do NOT click on these links!!

A few spammers have signed up for accounts using names like Forum Helper and others... I went through the members today, deleted them and added them to the ban list.

Sorry about the problems!

also got such a message

PLEASE!!! Whenever you get these messages, let me know who sent them to you.

This way I can delete their accounts and they can't send any messages.

Usually the way the spammers work is they sign up for forums and "harvest" the e-mail addresses. I've set up this forum so that they can't do that... so the only way you get "JUNK" from these freaks is by PMing you.

The only way we can stop that is to delete their accounts and ban them from the board.

Thank you!
