Uncle Ron Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Yo All, I'm back up and grouchy so that's good ... I have a major spammer notice ... I, as some on the forums, added the Panners and Prospectors FB group and WHAM ... SPAM ... Someone named Thomas Weaver put something like 150 spams to my email in two days!!! I have resigned and blocked that group and Thomas Weaver from both my FB and my emails ... Just a heads up ... Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mn90403 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Unc,Good to see you back and dealing with all of that spam. It comes in from everywhere. I have had the same email address from a private provider for so long and get so much spam that I am an educated 'spam reader' now. I know a lot about the current spams out and about. I have run out of blocks but I don't find most of them destructive but the ones that send more than 5 a day are awful.Most internet service providers and mail providers screen spam at the server level. I have mine turned off and I see all of the stuff that would be blocked. I don't trust anything from someone I don't know. Don't open any attachments and you can take yourself off of legitimate sites.Mitchel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvchris Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I know Thomas and I'm in that group,No spam sent to me or a peep from other members of the group.He's a distinguished Veteran.It's not something he'd do.Did you report the spam to Thomas or to Facebook?

Uncle Ron Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 No, the first time I just deleted all the posts, the next day there were 155 new posts so I just quit the group and blocked both him and the group ... All the posts were promoting gold stock investments and the like ... Seemed pretty cut and dried to me! ... Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvchris Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Can't argue with that kind of logic!It's not spam Ron it's an RSS news feed and your FB settings allowed you to be notified be email for every new post.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlakMagnet Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Yeah, an RSS feed is kind of an open doorway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
