RE-POSTED: Prolific Spammer STILL Active Across HU Platform. Communicating via Private Message. Do Not Reply. Report to Administrator

[Foggyme]

All. Re-posting just to let you know that this spammer is still active across multiple HU fora.

HU are banning as soon as reported but unfortunately they then re-join using a different email address and name (user name often a variant of SUS, sue101, suesue1012 etc.). HU are working on it...

So, as below, please do not respond, use the report button then block the user so they can't send you more messages (report and block functions in the drop down menu tab).

Here's details from the last post for those who did not see it:

Hi All. There appears to be significant spamming activity across multiple HU communities at the moment.

The spammer communicates via private message and will ask for you to reply via your own personal email address: please do not do this.

It's a well known / well worn spammer hook - 'Someone has died and you are a benificary with money ready and waiting - da de da de da...you know the rest. At some stage you will be asked for your bank details, or be asked to send money to process your 'claim': goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway 😉): do not send any bank details.

The spammer is registered under a variety of usernames - and keeps adding more. The HU team are restricting and banning all registrations, as and when notified so...

If you receive any of these private messages, please could you report it to one of us Admins (a PM will do) so that we can restrict the spammer and report to the HU Administrarion team for further action.

Many thanks 👍

It's come through on my email as if I had a private message but I didn't open it, I went on my HU account and it's not there to report it!

Probably because HU have restricted and deleted the spammer's account 😉😀.

This spammer is so prolific and well known that HU restrict and delete as soon as they get a report.

These people are just the pits 🤬.

Foggy I remembered what you wrote before. I think I got one from Sue something apologising for using the girum to get in touch, that was the header & I did no open it & deleted it. Would that be the same one? I hope that I did it to the right person? So thanks Foggy (don’t flush now)

All the best Suzee 😊

Hi Melbourne-Girl. Yep...that's the one 🤨. Deleting too good for this person...but it's all we have 🙄.

Hi foggyme - just a heads-up that I also received one from SUESUE2012 at 18:29 on Friday. I know you're aware of the problem - just wanted to let you know of the username and time in case it's of any use. Many Thanks & Good luck!

Thanks Rick68. Banned under that user name but if true to current form, will re-appear in a slightly different guise. Sad dispicable person 🤬.
