I know this isnt the right place to put this but im hoping as many people as possible see it,i just got a PM from someone called "ferracont" titled "Important Information",i wasnt sure about opening the link so i checked their posts....0 posts,googled the name and it turns out they joined a few other sites today and over the last few days,all with 0 posts,maybe im being paranoid but i aint opening anything from someone i dont know,just wanted to make people aware of it.....carry on!

I have banned him/her. I received the PM also. Thanks for confirming that this was spam.

Thanks Marie for once again being on top of this. How odd. Don't think the Forum has run into this before.

Appreciate your assistance SO much! We have enough of our own "strange" people.....we certainly don't need anyone else...who is really strange! ;-)

I have closed the account of this member, deleted his membership and banned his IP. Sometimes there are members who are posting spam messages or PMs. The fastest way to get rid of these persons is to send an alarm email to me.
