Blue Cavern

We have had some odd members joining the forum who are putting links to strange looking websites in their profile. Ian pm'd me about this and said something about clicking the link made you dial an international call or something. I'd already decided I didn't like the look of it because I did click the link and it said something about tracking my IP address. I immediately ran a spyware and virus scan and there were no problems there.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, something similar has happened tonight, someone has just added a different user name but it ended in .de just like the other one. I have deleted it and made sure I didn't click anything.

Message to this person registering these names. If you are a genuine person wanting to join then I would appreciate it if you would post immediately after registering and explain why you have strange websites in your profile that appear to be a security risk.

To all our other members, please do not click website links in new members profiles until I have cleared up what this is all about.

Message to our mods, please delete any new members joining who have odd looking user names, these are ones that look like web addresses generally. If this continues I will have to make it that people cannot obtain automatic membership and have to email us first.

Message to scammers, trouble makers, etc. We have a fish on board here that you don't want to mess with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm on it, K

I'll keep an eye out Karen..I've had similar things on my guestbook on my website..somone put a series of dots after their name and I didn't notice at first that they were links to some medication sites and dodgy car auctions..I deleted it, but they keep coming back

I'll keep an out for it.

I have my spy camera ready

I hope they aren't in the bath then Attom...lol

Let's get frying!

Ok we are having more problems with spammers registering on this board. Please do not click links in new members' signatures. Don't you just wish some people would get a life?
