People actually do fall for these, which is the reason why phishers continue doing it, sadly.

The forum is monitored 365 days a year and such spam attacks are usually removed within a few hours. We have had several spammers of the same style during the past couple of days.

Thank you, Nils, and keep it up -- you are one of the main reasons this forum is even usable!

Fun question... the user who's been posting over the last 4 days, are they all from the same 4 IP addresses???

This guy isn't going to stop... You'd think after the first 2 lots, he might have gotten the hint, but this is getting ridiculous.

Thanks!
In the case of such obvious spam attacks by a single "member", it is enough to report one or a few posts.
