soapdragon Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 How exciting! Almost the whole forum seems to have been taken over by strange caligraphy! What happened there then!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I know... these spammers are getting really annoying! I wish the week waiting period would be reinstated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 What I am interested to know is.....why!!!??? Or am I just being dense (not for the first time!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 They are trying to sell you a new passport! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 OOOh, that's kind of them to think of me then! How did they know I needed one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I spotted them too when I logged on during the afternoon - one was busy filling up threads with strange characters. I alerted one of the Omlet code chaps who was on the forum at the time. Hopefully they've kicked them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat tails Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Ok so we have been overtaken again! And they have been busy bees too! One poster has managed 259 posts already! To bypass this load of nonsense you can click on activity and then choose “content I posted in”. At least you will see some stuff you actually want to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 And still busy typing away... Wish a user would be blocked automatically when more than 5 of its posts are reported... Btw I think they are Chinese... But that is my uneducated guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Yes, I have just reported a whole swathe of them this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been learning Japanese and the script here is all kanji. I'm pretty sure that if it was Japanese you'd see the other alphabets too. I was a bit sad and have looked through trying to recognise symbols and was quite pleased when I did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 We are doing our best to keep the disruption to a minimum. I have amused myself this morning with the zapper. Trouble is, these people are always one step ahead. They are flogging a dead horse, posting in that script. Please, never click a link or engage in dialogue with them. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natspringy Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Just thought I went on one of the of the scam posts and replied (thought it was just a general daft question). It was an English one. Do I need to do anything now re phone security?? These things go over my head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Just report the post, when you think it is spam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
