    Am i the only one that has received this SPAM in my private PM box? I've been around a while but this would have to have been the rudest I've come across.

    A search of the username:sussan4you brings up no posts at all but the only messages this person might be sending is PM's. It seems the only tact this member has signed up to do is PM.

    Let us know if you are receiving this sort of thing and we can do something about it.

    I didn't receive it in my inbox here on the forum, however have had many and varied upon this theme by email.

    Quite sneaky if all they do is sign up to deliver spam on a forum and by PM at that.

    Eventually someone will always find a way of getting spam into the system.
