wierd messages from wierd profiles - spam?

Re: wierd messages from wierd profiles

In reponse to your question and the many similar ones we have received through the enquiry panel.

We have had a number of 'members' joining the site simply to spam the system.

Unlike the normal spammers that simply create a free profile with little information, these people are creating informative profiles and upgrading their account in order to try and get past the checks that every profile goes through.

They are working in a very organised manner and no doubt in a team due to the amount of messages they are sending out. They are also personalising each message to match your own area details etc.

If you feel you have received a spam mail, please view the persons profile and click the report link, then add the comments that you feel this may be a spammers profile.

We are working on numerous ways to reduce the spam being sent, and will continue to remove the profiles and the messages that are created as soon as we are aware of them.

If you receive a mail and then find the profile has been deleted when you try to view it, it was probably a spammer.

Thanks for your reporting of these profiles and your continued support in removing these annoying people
