"Hi,

This website gives away FREE (no catch) 2 x PR7 backlinks & 9 x PR8 backlinks :

http://www.Absolutely-Free-PR7-PR8-Backlinks.com/

Being a webmaster, you might require them to build your own links and SERP rankings.

Is this some kind of scam ro something ?

 

It just looks like a spammer who is spamming via PM.
Just report it and delete it

 

ya i got it and deleted it.

 

okay...Pheewww.

how do I report this then and to who ?

 

just click on the right triangle button off the post which you want to report and write the detail

hope this helps...

 

the URL itself shows that it is scam..

report it and see kick him off!!

 

I received it too. It's never a good sign when you get a PM and see "Posts: 0"

 

yeah, I got too, new spam marketing method I think

 

Clearly it is working... I got it too.

 

I was just wondering how many people HERE in this forum actually
purchased this service ?

 

You say about this button in a post.
But this is a feature of posting in thread, not in pm messages.

you can forward it to any admin as proof.

 

yeahh..thanx. I looked for this icon and could find it. I dis see all the other names starting with "W" ( like mine ) that obviously received the same message. These guys probably sit there for hours going through the " who is online" now list and go through them from A to Z.

I must admit there is very little spam on this forum when you consider the size of this site so I can only assume the mods are doing a good job keeping this away from us......here to the mods ( Applause )

 

I got a PM the other day where it was a phishing attempt to get my DP login. I don't exactly know why they want my login here so bad but I guess they had sent out around 100 messages just like it to members

 

Spam...ordinary spam

 

Yep, Big time spammer

 

message deleted

 

Yes I received it too, he is banned already.

Looked as paypal phishing, I hope nobody got scamed.

 

Yes...strange thing is that I think this person was banned because I just received the SAME PM again buit from another Dp user..this tims from rfeeds.

I wonder how long this will go on

 

I too received the same message from http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=135443

I have not looked at the links though.

Shouldn't there be some kind of requirement for newcomers before being able to send a pm?.
