Title: Spam, spam, spam, where did it come from?
Post by: joeliniowa on August 30, 2022, 07:40:05 PM
Why are there 20+ (I just deleted & reported) offers for $$ cash financing all of a sudden showing  up in all the threads?   This is ugly & sloppy... >:( >:(  :(   :(

That was me.  The Nigerian prince finally came through with my $34.8 million inheritance, as promised once I shipped him the $150 handling fee and my oldest child, so I'm now in the loanshark business.  Gotta put capital to work, you know; savings accounts pay but a pittance these days.

Now my headache is all those Russian brides piling up on the doorstep.  I really need to stop answering emails.

Sure!  How about some of the extra brides at no charge?  I can put them in a crate with some lettuce and air holes, and comfortably pad it with the cash.

As Paul mentioned, there is a "report to moderator" link available.  As an aside observation, your very-numerous replies to all those spams complaining about them will not only never be seen by the original spammer, but are in themselves bandwidth-consuming spam.

Spam happens every where. No one is forcing you to be here. Bye.

Apologies, I just went through and cleaned everything up. At the same time I increased the anti-spam question and verification so hopefully, that helps. In addition to reporting posts you can also email be directly: radownersforum {at} gmail

I also doubled the attachment folder size since it was full.
