Scotty, a few years ago, I received an email that looked like a spammer.
I deleted the first one and then another came.
I deleted it as well.
I received a phone call a couple days later, from overseas.
It ended being from Japan, I let it go to voicemail.
(Didn't know at the time it was Japan, didn't really care).
Anyway, a friend in Hawaii gave my information to a gentleman
who wanted a nice home built, it ended up being my whole winters job.
I guess sometimes you never know.

That being said, I am almost sure it is a spammer you have there

Um, Scott, it was due to the admins of this forum that the spammer got on in the first place.  A simple program like http://www.stopforumspam.com/search.php  lets an admin check the authenticity before allowing membership.  As an admin on the Proline owners site, I've approved one application in the last 3 weeks...but have rejected probably 100...

Many thanks to Scott D for the heads up on that site... :thumleft:  :thumleft:
I did let the guy in, in fact I approved about 50 spammers instead of deleting them, by mistake.  Hate when I do that - only takes a few seconds of lack of focus. So I deleted them all and their posts.  All is well again.
Bob I have been using the stopforumspam site for years - ask Scott who turned him on to that site right after he started his site.  You deleted 100 in 3 weeks? I delete at least a hundred a day, may approve one.

That is true, Rick helped out bit time on that, thank you Rick.

100 a day or every 3 weeks Wow, sometimes I forget how much hassle my software saves me, if you guys can manage to get it on the site I would be happy to help
