Title: Wave of phishing emails from multiple accounts Post by: ylpkm on July 30, 2017, 10:36:22 PM I had just been hit with a wave of phishing emails all pointing to google."insertsomethinghere". They were all from new accounts and were labelled my thoughts, or opinions. I dont see a report button of users pages and sorry to say I am too lazy and busy to go back and recover the names as I have deleted the emails/pm's. But I just wanted to report it to save some newbie a headache. If this persists maybe add info to this thread if anything can be done. It would be annoying if this becomes a regular occurrence.

It has to be a wave of bots creating accounts and sending out these pms. They must have found a way to bypass the sign up captchas in order to make so many accounts and pm everyone.

It's annoying, but fortunatelyit's the first (and hopefully last) time it's happened. It ought to be obvious, but no one should click on those links. Thanks, brother.

Ive personally opted out of reporting them as there's probably a huge amount of people sending in reports and im not trying to jam the mods inbox.
