We been plagued with em

Newcomers trying to join the clubh to sell viagra and the like  :evil:

Had to changeover to admin approval instead of auto registration.

Also watch out for fake eBay messages asking if goods have been sent. If you try to reply, you have to sign in and then they have your details. I had this supposedly from 'grapevinehill( 239527)'

The redirect was to a .DE domain name and that's the giveaway :wink:

Also seems most spammers are using .RU domains especially cashette.com

Admin here might want to blovk those
