Anyone else get a spammy private message from loveonett4?

Asked by McBean (1703points) October 8th, 2011

I’ve been away from fluther for about 2 years, but just received notification of a private message that says:

“NICE TO MEET YOU.
my name is faith.here is my privet e-mail'(faithnechwa1@hotmail.com)
i will like to know you more. so that i can send you my picture and my detail’s for you to know me more so I am waiting for your mail to my email address below. please don’t chat me here just send me mail and i will get back to you with love.”

Sounds amazingly similar to many spam messages I’ve seen. On Fluther? Really? Pisses me off. Has this been happening a lot here? What’s the protocol for reporting it?

It’s spam. It’s been taken care of.

It doesn’t happen often, but it has happened. You just notify the mods (syz says this one has been taken care of).

Yeah, it happens occasionally. As soon as we’re notified, we ban them and the PMs disappear. POOF!

Two years? You have missed a lot, my frend. Settle in and get an anti-spam gauss cannon.

I just had sex with her. It was lackluster.

I’ve flagged several spammers in the past couple of days. I must get up and check Fluther before the bosses.

Hey! Welcome back @McBean! Where’d you go and why?

That Faith was a busy girl. I’d have answered, but she wasn’t the best speller and that drives me nuts.

@Dutchess_III: Good to see you! I scooted over to Facebook with a whole bunch of the crew and that’s pretty much where we’re residing now.

Yes, I emailed her back and she sent me her picture. She’s not too bad looking and she asked for some money, so I sent her my credit card number and now I’m broke.
