Re: IS THIS A SCAM
It's pretty obvious the mobile version of this site has been hacked. Not having issues with the desktop version.
Just a funny story... I got an e-mail today about the status of my Louis Viton order. Hey, I'm not that kind of guy, and it is spelled wrong too.

Re: IS THIS A SCAM
Yes, they generously offered me one too.
Concerning this issue? I don't think Mods would know who gets what PMs.
I got this through the desktop version.

Re: IS THIS A SCAM
For reference, this particular one was addressed earlier. Account was banned and PMs was removed.
In the future, there's a Report PM feature that works exactly like the Report Post feature. In the upper-right corner of the PM (which can be seen in the attachment in the original post) is a
that can be used to Report a PM.
Note only 1 member used the Report PM feature - which is a feature native to vBulletin, one of the most popular commercially (paid) forum software online.
Anyone that thinks these spammers are just a ThirdGen-only issue or that Staff can keep them away before they're seen must be very new to the Internet! We use a few layers of Spam protection but it's not fail safe and too much interferes with the legitimate members and content.
As this was addressed and this isn't the correct section, I think this topic can be closed.
Thanks
