Thanks for the tip, the user was banned. Please everyone be very careful and do not ever click on a link like that from anyone.

 

[ReptilianGems]

I got the same thing. I have received a couple of other spam messages in the past, but this one kinda ticked me off a little.

 

[KelliH]

I am so sorry about that. I was doing some work on the forums the other night and forgot to turn the pm system protection back on. It's back on now and that should keep this from happening again.

Sorry I PM'd you

I have to admit this guy had me going. I haven't been on the site very much lately and was starting to worry. Anyway, sorry about the PM Kelli (should have checked here first, duh!), you guys do a great job with this site and I'd hate to be deleted.:main_no:
Thanks,
Wes

I got that PM too, glad I looked at the person's status before I clicked on anything.

 

[KelliH]

Sorry everyone! I am getting some emails from some pretty upset GF members and I am very sorry. Just like what happens in email, occasionally SPAMMERS get through. It's best to never click on any link like that, and for future reference, the admin here would never send out anything like that. I'm doing a show this weekend so please do not be offended if I don't reply to all the messages I have received personally (there are dozens!), but rest assured I have done what I can to prevent the problem short of disabling our pm system. Thanks for understanding,
Kelli

I forwarded my copy to you, Kelli. Don't worry about replying, now that I know what's going on.

This forum is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. Old Testament, real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes! The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

That might have just made my day. Oh, the irony!
