As an FYI it has come to my attention that several members received an unsolicited PM from someone named Jessie. We have banned that account for sending these PM's. This is one of the reasons we had implemented that system whereby members needed at least 5 posts before they could PM someone else but because of some complaints we removed that restriction. Once removed it allows this sort of thing to happen, some spammer comes to the site, signs up and then starts sending a bunch of spam PM's to our members.

If, in the future you receive such a PM just let me know and we can take action against the spammer by banning them, but of course if they are determined they can always come back.

Our apologies for any inconvenience.

I received one of those "Jessie" emails last night...

Me too, thanks for taking action.

Yep, I got one yesterday and immediately let Ken know. I had a sneaking suspicion that someone was infiltrating the site for the sole purpose to spam.

Thanks Ken....

Pardon the possibly inane question as it comes from a member with only the basic computer skills. Note that immediately after deleting the spam from "Jessie" the software froze. Had to ctrl alt del to get out. All's well now after running virus scan with no hits. Never clicked on anything in the spam although it was soooo tempting

(not!). Any possibility of getting something from this spam?
Thanks, Bob

Nope, just a coincidence.

I got one as well.

And also, as this is my first post, I would like to say thank you for the very informative forum, FAQ, etc. I am not yet a Cayman owner, but the forum has been very helpful as I am in the market for a Cayman S..
