We had our first prince-style spammer on the site today. They sent a message like this to about 40 people:
Hello dear friend, I am Miss. melessa Freya, I have a sensitive offer to seek your assistance to execute. For further communication because i always be busy, I will be waiting for your response in my email box
I have blocked them in a couple of different ways. I originally enabled some additional spam protection on messages, too, but then I found it was blocking some legitimate messages so I've had to disable it. If you receive a message like this, please report it by clicking the "report" link in the bottom right corner of the message. I might have to find a way to tweak the spam protection if this continues.
Thank you to those of you who reported the message. The spammer should have known that the people on this site are too young and too smart to fall for that
