This was a spam attack.

hey fluffygrrl

You beat me to it Tatt

This user has been banned. For anyone who got her PM, please disregard. I would also highly recommend you do not click on her link or try to contact her.

Yep, this was a spam attack and it was headed off fairly swiftly but this person did get quite a few e-mails out. Just don't click on the link in the PM that was sent is my only suggestion.

Some complain about our "no links" by new members rule and this is why. We just hate spam (sorry Ironchef ). Rule or no rule - we'll get them anyway

That link was really odd. What was with that site?

 

[Fisher's Mom]

I got the PM too and went to the link. I think this was an attempt to boost hits to that particular site to attract advertisers.

It was weird, wasn't it?! When I got her PM I thought she was just reponding to me since I am one of the ones who sends out the Welcome Letter, so I clicked on the link, in trying to help her. That was about the grossest looking oxtail stew I have ever seen. It looked like something you would use when slopping the hogs. I love oxtail soup, but I wouldn't touch that stuff!

Do not feel as if you were the only one I bit on it too .and I am with you that did not look good at all

i got suspicious when she said "i generally know what i'm on about" hahahahaha... and i know i don't lol
probably just generating more traffic to the website.

 

[expatgirl]

Well, I'm glad I have company. I responded that it was not a great recipe, too------thanks, guys, for zapping whoever it was.

 

[Aera]

I got the pm too but did not click the link. I noticed the user had Banned under their name.

lol! me too!

 

[redkitty]

I knew it was spam when she asked me, (clearly a vegetarian) about oxtail soup!!!!!!

 

[ronjohn55]

Oh darn. All I got was a message telling me that someone had tried to PM me, but my inbox was full


And I so enjoy a nice thing of

every now and then.

[Chefellas]

I got the message too. I realized she was banned after I tried to answer. I guess I have to keep my eyes a little more open!!!

 

[suzyQ3]

When I received the message, I thought it had that odd sort of canned feeling, so I checked the sender's profile. When I saw that she had just signed up that day and had no posts, I forwarded the message to a couple site admins. Even though she did put in the line about having lurked here for a while, it didn't pass the sniff test.

Speaking of which, either did that oxtail stew (yeah, curiosity got the better of me).

 

[expatgirl]

Well, suzy, do you do taxes? If so I want to hire you, as "furrygrrl" fooled me completely. Thank goodness we have intuitive folks like you on board. It just shows how naive some of us are. Only after I took the time to reply to her "Halloweenish" frightfare did the ban sign appear.

 

[JenMN]

I thought that it was funny that somebody would send me a pm saying that it seems like I know what I am talking about since I have all of ~15 posts

 

[CharlieD]

Stupid me, bought into it, heh....

 

[David Cottrell]

Got me too!
