| This morning I saw an e-mail that said it was from MJ's farm girl site, so I opened it,,,,,,,,,,if u get it don't open it. Now I don't even have the name because I hit "report spam" before thinking and it all disappeared, it was some scam about money is all I caught. |

Yeah, I think we all got that. It's being handled though. I guess that means the forums are getting popular. As long as for every spam scam we get a handful of good members, it ain't no thing but a chicken wing.
you can be oh so smart, or you can be oh so positive. I wasted a lot of time being smart I prefer being positive. |

Last fall we had spammers like this from Nigeria with almost the same message. The girls at the farm took care of them. I freaked out the first time it happened but from what more seasoned internet users reported is that this a pretty common occurance and a nuisance to good forums. Wish there was a permanant way to keep this from happening but they always find a way to slip in. Just have to delete them to where they belong...the cyber trash can.

Yes I got the same e-mail spam this morning and I was very surprised. I think maybe we should let someone at Mary Janes farm know this. I guess they read everything so they will see this. Have a good day everyone. Peace.

The MJF farmgirls have this situation under control. Look under the user tips here on this site, where Clare updates daily, for information on this spam thing. It is best not to open these emails or forward them in any way. Just ignore them!

I got a couple of those last week. it's sooo annoying because I subscribe to all the forums, so I get excited when another new post is made, only to find out it is spam!
