Be extra careful of spammers
For some reason the site is being hit again by a massive amount of fake accounts within the last two days. They appear to be mostly from Russian or Hungarian servers. I think I deleted all of them but let me know in case I miss a fake post or you get any weird messages.

Re: Be extra careful of spammers
Thanks for your time and attention which makes this site work, Vince!
It's that time of year that reminds me that portal hub isn't free and requires support to maintain its viability (not to mention sense of community and indispensable help,).

Re: Be extra careful of spammers
I appreciate your vigilance on this. You should have seen the spam and scammers when I posted an ad on an aircooled VW forum...uggghhhh. I'm ready to change email addresses.

Yup, my forum did too, all from the same location. I haven't seen that many in a long time.VinceAtReal4x4s wrote:For some reason the site is being hit again by a massive amount of fake accounts within the last two days.

Re: Be extra careful of spammers
I came back from being out for half the day and had over 25 new accounts, all fake. I put in a new "human tester" question which has stopped them cold so we are clean again.
