I've received notification from a member who received an unsolicited Private Message.

For everyone's peace of mind, I treat this subject very seriously. Any people or BOTS found abusing the system will be banned and their IP addresses blocked from accessing eScale.

My sincere apologies for anyone who may have been the victim of SPAM.

Whilst we're on the subject, eScale official announcements, will only ever come from two sources.

1. This forum posted by me or one of the Moderators
2. The eScale Store newsletter for people who have subscribed to the newsletter

Beware of hoax emails designed to look like they've come from eScale. We will never send emails that request you to enter your personal information or redirect you to logon to eStore or any other eScale website.

Say, What??

I thought I found love on escale!!

She said she thought I was interesting and EVERYTHING!!

Well, not really, but I had a bit of a chuckle about it when I saw the PM.

If anything it did get me to return to the site.

A few members did receive the PM and thanks for bringing it to our attention. I have deleted the account.

Hi Chris, the message you had was the one that brought this discussion up. I'm looking into ways that I can prohibit mass PM's in the event that someone gets through our screening in the future. Unfortunately, SPAM is is an Internet problem that's here to stay. I wish governments would police this a little better (electronic SPAM and Paper Based SPAM is one of my pet hates). We can put a whole lot of processes in place, but someone somewhere will find a way around it. It's a matter of trying to keep ahead of them.

Apologies for that Boetie, that's the message we have been discussing.

As an update, I've made some changes to the forum which will prohibit that from affecting us to that extent ever again.
