I really hope Spam/Scam emails don't start showing up as PM's...

We'll need spam blockers for our PM inboxes :pinch:

Was it a PM from another user on Neowin? If so, please report it. :)

[acnpt]

Bagsy first!, I don't want sloppy seconds or thousands :laugh: :rofl:

[iamwhoiam]

Was it a PM from another user on Neowin?

:blink:

It was stated in the OP that it came in a PM from here. So I'd safely assume it's a member. :whistle:

He didn't specifically say that, that's why I asked. He may have meant he got an IM from someone scraping Neowin. :) Obviously it's local as other people are reporting the same thing now.

Sylvia23

Thanks. :D

[+Anarkii Subscriber²]

Just got it too. Yep the username is sylvia23

[Eric Veteran]

Cyber with her!

Eww... It's more than likely not a "she" and any cybering would probably involve you buying Nike knock-offs from "her." :)

Sounds pretty clear to me that it was in a PM he received here, not external.

[ameo]

Long, for long I just dream

That sweet day of my return.

And I know that we are not together.

Wait 4 me Sylvia, Wait 4 me Sylvia

be faithful Sylvia, Sylvia I beg you.

Wait 4 me Sylvia, Wait 4 me Sylvia

be faithful Sylvia, I love you Sylvia.

Know that I feel, that you don't forget

coz for long I don't know anything about you.

Know that I am scared that you don't leave me,

And I in you see it all. :blush:

:laugh:

man I've been absent from here for so long

but that spambot Sylvia sure gives me hope.

We've covered that. I was asking for more information so we could handle the issue, thanks. :)

She should be quiet now until a supervisor can deal with it.
