giverin Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 <p>The thing is, do they really think that someone here would actually buy anything from them after they have heavily spammed a well liked and well used forum?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJT Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 <p>Hi Anthea...looks like spam to me too; I marked it as spam. If you should notice things like this in the future it will help if you send an email to the forum moderator. The screen shot was a good idea but I it took me awhile finding the actual threads.

anthea50 Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 <p>Apologies Walter - I saw the first ad in a thread I was reading and then clicked on the name to see the account; when I saw the list of postings I thought that it would easy for the mods to 'follow the trail' so to speak if they did the same thing.<br> In future I will simply email the moderator of the thread and let them know.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJT Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 <p>Not a problem Anthea, no criticism intended. It was hard for me, but then I'm slow before my tenth cup of morning java.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
