In the last two days I have received garbage PMs from “minhhieua11”. They appear to be sent in another language, because they are full of garbage characters, like when Chinese is converted to English. Can an admin please eject “minhhieua11” from the forum?
Our site used to be safe and secure from all these guys. Now, at sign in, I get an “!Not Secure”, at the top of the page. What happened?
I just got the same garbled private message.
Just delete it. I get them from time to time. Never open it. Just DELETE. Jim
Betty, I suspect that the aging interface here no longer meets the latest standards for internet security. That might mean no more pictures of grandchildren or other material that could be abused by hackers. P.M.s are probably not safe either. Use them and download what you need immediately: then delete on both ends. I think postings about fly fishing are reasonably safe. “I’ll be out of town fishing all week” etc probably never was really safe.
That’s what I do.
Regards,
Scott
On the other hand, there could be a Nigerian prince looking to launder MILLIONS of dollars thru an American bank checking account . So far I’ve responded to several and for a modest fee of $10,000 each, I’m guaranteed at least 25 percent. We’re talkin MILLIONS.

Yep still getting spam PMs from that “member” and others.
The biggest question I have is how is someone who is NOT a member of the forum, sending Private Messages to folks who ARE members?
I am getting these messages from “minhhieua11” who does NOT appear in the members list.

I just deleted the same nonsense
I got one, too. It was a little different.
I got that one too.
I’ve received 2 from kethutinh9xx68 in the last week. I have ignored them but do not know the procedure to delete them. Any suggestions?

WWKimba,
Kim. What Rick said, except after clicking in the right box next to the offending message, scroll down and click “Select Messages” then click “Delete” then click “Proceed”
More mud for you. Jim.
Thanks for the “mud” guys! 
I’ll see if I can clear this idiot off my mailbox. Maybe I should have said that I have grey hair and learned my HS math on a slide rule!!
Kim
I just deleted a couple messages from this jerk.
Cliff
Kim, At least you still have hair.
One of the nice things I’ve learned about FAOL is we all try to help each other through the complicated times. From posting pictures to deleting jerks. Jim
