I got an PM from them also, when I tried to find it , it was gone, I guess Patricej had already blocked them.

Well, that's just annoying! Some spammer is trying to bootleg my screen name.

We work hard to stop this kind if nonsense :thumbup:
Isn't everyone on line listed at the bottom of the HOME page with the Mod/Admin angels in BOLD?
Yes :lol:

seriously. it's all useless.
Okay, I didn't look at them just earmarked it for later. I actually thought it was being sent by Quiltmania. Next time I'll read closer and know that if it says Quiltermania it's not our person.

i'm glad that we caught it quickly. thanks to those who reported it immediately. not to criticize Lostn51 for starting this topic. however, we may have missed it. reporting directly to Admin, to me, or to one of the other moderators is the fastest way to get these things fixed.

i'm particularly relieved that the culprit didn't have time to taint QuiltMania's good name. :P

Well maybe with me starting this topic it has made folks aware of what needs t happen when they get Spamage in their PM's.

I will look at this like it was a public service announcement :lol:
