Spam PMs were sent to some users today from “melissa Johnson” with title “HELLO.” This account has been flagged as a spam account, so will not be able to send more messages. If you received this message, you can simply delete it. Apologies for the inconvenience.

July 12, 2019 at 9:27 am #1572245I got one too from a Kayla Noyes. Definitely a scammer
And not a native English speaker. Syntax is all wrong
Probably from overseas.Do the right thing, when no one is looking...♥
July 12, 2019 at 9:45 am #1572250Yes, both Clay and Susie are aware of this spammer.
July 12, 2019 at 12:18 pm #1572265Yes,she messaged me as well..
July 12, 2019 at 12:45 pm #1572266Clay has removed several Kayla Noyes accounts now. If any more show up, we’ll remove them. Just delete those messages. We are sorry this spam got into our website. The spammer does not have your personal email address – the email going to you is sent only by our website to tell you that you have a message in the Private Message system.
sorry for the inconvenience!
July 12, 2019 at 5:12 pm #1572348Everyone,
Just want to let you know that I will be working on this issue over the weekend. The spammers seem to be getting more frequent and more persistent, so I will look at different ways of combatting them. Spam prevention is always a balancing act–how to keep the spammers at bay, while keeping the site easy to use for legitimate community members. I will update you all on new spam prevention measures as soon as possible. Rest assured that your personal info (including your email address) is not at risk. The email you receive is from our site, notifying you that you have a new PM; it is not a message from the spammer directly. Sorry for the inconvenience, and stay tuned for the solution.
(I’m posting this on the other relevant threads as well)

Looking for:

Life is beautiful.
