    I get these too - people think if you've bought one whatever you automatically want another one. It's good in one way because you get first glimpse and chance to bid on new WordPress themes.

    spam is spam is spam. I don't want the first glimpse at the new viagra site, the new wordpress theme, or the new rolex for 1/2 off.


    thanks guys, I'll forward the urls.

    Are you serious? I've never received one before. I guess I'm fortunate.

    I'm guilty of this. I do assume to much so I'm sorry to whoever I may have bothered. :( I did think you were interested in another link but now I know.

    Sorry guys, it won't happen again.

    Good thing (me lucky) i only get spams or rather pms, offering me money lol. So i do not report them, love to make some money :).

    But you can give that user red for any thread they posted on cause you cannot give red for pm.

    I've only recieved 1 or 2 spam messages by PM eversince I joined DP, but nothing more than that. I think you should report the user to the Mods and they will help you.
