Spammers

Postby Chuck Engels » Mon Dec 01, 2008 8:14 pm

Beware of spammers, they are everywhere lately.
The Moderators keep a constant eye out for them but sometimes they slip in unnoticed and get a few posts in before they can be stopped.
I just stopped someone that posted to at least 8 topics before I could stop them and delete the posts, all World of Warcraft stuff.
Most of the spam lately has been in regard to fantasy games so keep your eyes open if you would and send an email to info AT muvipix DOT com if you expect you have caught a spammer. Sorry for any problems these people cause, we are very diligent at stopping them as soon as possible.

By the way, this person joined the forum on November 25th and didn't start posting spam until today.
In this case they used the name 'jack19780605', that is very common for them to use letters followed by a series of numbers.
Not everyone with that kind of username is a spammer but many are. They usually have a web site listed in their profile as well, the site is usually a fantasy game site of some kind. Thanks to the great job that the Moderators do in keeping Muvipix spam free =D> :TU:

Are you saying you DON'T want to buy Viagra at a discounted price from Canada with out a Doctors note????? I guess that the 4 million dollar payment from the South America govt will not be sent because you won't help pay the shipping charge.....aghhhh

Darn it Sidd :( do you mean that the $250 trillion that I am helping to move out of Nigeria via my bank account (for which I provided full bank details and included my mother's maiden name, my date of birth and a facsimilie of my passport) for a modest 50% cut might just be the work of a spammer?

I was going to use my share to buy a Viagara factory. I am soooo disappointed.... :-D :lol:

I confess, I was marked once as a spammer. Had a video posted elsewhere and mentioned Muvipix in the description. :-8

John I am shocked it sounds totally legit. Someone else told me that it could be a fake too but I told them it was really true because I read it on the internet.
