| So I just logged into Dooyoo and I had a very strange new message waiting for me, that I'm not sure what to do about ..... - Quote :
- ATTENTION SIR,
THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTIVELY. WE ARE DEALING WITH BEST ELECTRONICS AND WILL PAY BY BILLPAY AND WITH CHEAQUE WE ARE GOING TO LIKE YOU TO COOPRATE WITH US BY payING YOU WITH OUR COMPANY PAYMENT WHICH IS BIDPAY CHEAQUE AND IS NICE AND SECURE.
THANKS
TOMRAY Its a new member, with no reviews, no rates, no nothing ... thinks I'm a 'sir' and I'm not entirely sure if he wants money or is trying to give me some! ... Did anyone else get this? What should I do about it?

| I suspect it is a spammer. We used to get them trailed onto comments, but now that the guestbooks are there, I guess it will be a common problem | |

| Very strange, it's probably a scam or somthing like that, it's good that you've reported it. | |

| With grammar like that, a simple reporting and banishment seems just too light a punishment. | |

| Jared replied this morning and I am quoting his reply in case anyone else gets one of these messages. - Quote :
- Not cool.
Spread the word: People get banned for this kind of stuff. In the future though, have the member email me with the message and the member's name (because I can imagine all scammers don't sign their spam).
