Spammers - becoming members and contacting via PM.

Re: Spammers - becoming members and contacting via

OK so there are not many positives from this frustrating SPAMing......BUT...... it shows that this little community is not so little anymore. If you are attracting SPAMmers then you are on the radar.

Not much of a positive, but hey gotta clutch at straws in this situation : :

We have had a couple of members receive direct contact from a supplier in China who is asking for MSN or Skype contact details so they can "talk about coffee". They just want to sell you stuff that may or may not exist (who knows!).

Don’t give your details to anyone that asks in a PM unless you "know" they are a real CS member that had been around for a while.

The latest one was from the member coffeemaker we have changed his password so he cannot contact you anymore.

SPAMMERS GO AWAY.

Russia and China are the two worst offenders at the moment. We might have to think about blocking their whole countries from CS in the future (which is sad for real CoffeeSnobs in those countries).

If you get a message from a filty rotten scumbag time-wasting spammer send me an email (andy@....) and Ill remove their account.
