Alleged member sending begging p.m.

Featured Replies

Firstly, Happy New Year to all on the Forum,

Secondly, I have received a begging p.m. from an alleged member asking for money. I assume he/she is a member as it came through the website to my e-mail as an official p.m.

My question is in three parts

1- How do you find if a member is genuine

2- Has my Forum account been hacked in some way. 

3- I will block them, but what is the procedure for reporting the action, which, if genuine, I find unacceptable.

Thank you for any information,

AFJ

Just report the PM (click the ellipses - 3 dots - top right of the PM).

 

1 - You can search for the member using the forum search system.

2 - Doubtful

3 - You can use the "Report" button in the PM itself. If there's no PM on the forum someone is spoofing the "from" address in the email to make it look like it's from us. It's easy to do and isn't caused by either your email or your forum account being hacked.

Did you set in notifications that you receive an update via email?

I have several p.m's going on at the moment, and they all notify by email.

Oh wait, requesting donations to the Neil Forbes Beer and Party Foundation is hardly begging, give freely, it's Xmas (PM for bank account details, Paypal accepted).

Would this PM be from a member who featured in Bowie's "Space Oddity" perchance?

 

Others have reported it too.

 

 

Yes Crossy, that is He. I have done as suggested, and reported the post. Tried searching for a member but no success. Mind you, not sure if doing it right. I am a dinosaur when it comes to confusers, etc...................

Many thanks to all for your kind assistance.

Yeah, seen your report and others.

 

He won't be sending any more begging letters, at least not from that username.

 

If you (or other members) receive more of this type of PM, please hit "Report".

Member search is behind "more options" in the search drop down.
