    I went to the link that came in my e-mail from ISAbella, a new member with 0 post. And the link was full of virus's. Be careful. Something about buddhism....Very fishey. I believe it was just a spam bot that registed here. She also sent me a pm, off the wall stuff, nothing to do with Model RRing.

    If I'm wrong please just delete my post. And I'm sorry for any inconvenience.

    Thanks for reporting that. We checked that member out at various on-line search sites that post known spammers and so far they all come back negative. However if they are sending individual emails we will have to check in to it and ban them if that is the case. If you could send a copies of the IM and email to this link it would be helpful.

    I sent a copy of the PM to the link above. The e-mail was just a copy of my pm after all. My error on that part.

    Thank you. The user Isabella was permanently banned. I'm am not quite sure what happened here, but will look at the IP address more closely.

    I checked Smopes for spambot and they had no virus reply.

    Probably an address harvester, or keystroke logger reporting to some one off line.

    I forward ot back to them. If I get a mailedremon, I know they are no friend, so delete them
