Hamish Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 Major spam attack this morning I’ve reported it and the poor mods will have to work through the whole site B@stard spammers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 Me too, although behind you in the queue. I've recommended hot needles under the fingernails. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) They're coming in faster than I can report them ! If this is a 'bot' attack it must be possible to filter them out at the signing-up stage? Won't work for real people though. Edited July 29, 2023 by RobH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 How do we deluge them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 Can't be done Peter . They will be using spoofed web addresses. Obviously from the phone number etc they are targetting the US so why they are hitting a UK site is a mystery. Unfortunately it is highlighting that it is just too easy to join the forums.

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 The only common element I can see in this mornings raft of unwanted stuff is a ‘phone’ number. Can a block on that be used to sweep out and hopefully block this messaging? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
