Hey guys, has anyone else received a strange sounding private message, with almost spam-like content?
(excerpt: "...I am Interested in Ordering some Galleries from your store And do you ship to Outside United Kingdom And my Payment is by Cashier Check.Do get with your website address...." )
It's very unusual for me to get PMs on this site, let alone on which doesn't seem to make sense! Could it be that TOMM has fallen foul to some kind of trickery, or am I being overly cynical?
Best wishes to you all! <3 .:Kat:. |

I got the same message, Kat. I just sent one back informing Mr. Moore that I'm not selling anything and politely suggesting he may have PMed the wrong person! I can't see what anyone would get out of spamming OMM members, but who knows? Very peculiar! |

Gibson has been spamming people, and yes it certainly looks like a scam. He's been deleted - he won't even be able to receive any replies so he has wasted his time.
Let that be a lesson to people who try to spam OMM! |

I received the same message today, Dayna. I'll send a message to Eamonn about it and get it taken care of. |
