Repetitive Private Messages

    I'm not sure if this has been posted yet (so, sorry if it has) but there's this person who keeps sending me private messages, saying the same thing over and over. It's been going on since June 14 and I'm still getting the messages.

    I don't know if its a glitch in the system or they're doing it on purpose. Is this happening to anyone else? The blocking wasn't working at first but I think I've got it now. Hopefully, anyway.

    it's happening to lots of people. I've gotten it at least 5 times

    I've gotten a bunch of them, but now they go to my spam file so I'm not bothered by them.

    Tim received them too and tried to email the person back and it said that the email address doesn't exist or something like that.

    Unfortunately this happens a lot, and it's why we have an "in site" message system on my website, so it's easier to report:

    It's SPAM. Pure and simple. I youtube and it happens to me quite often. Some scumbag will send me a 5* rating and then message me with "Hey, I earn $200 a day by sending people links to www.i_am_a_sad_gullible_loser.cum and you can too!" when in fact they're just setting themselves up as a spammer's tool.

    All messages sent to me go to a mail service with seveeeeere spam protections.

    i started deleting them but then after i deleted ten i saved some to bring to your attention

    I'd just auto-delete stuff or if you can set up a filter: add one for their email address. Spammers are scumbags: don't even be tempted to send them a FOAD response as it just alerts them to the fact the account gets used.

    you mean this message,

    i think he/she nothing to do, so he/she sent them to you include me.

    Yes, I agree that the spamming like this is very rude and can be annoying. There is a spot on everyone's email account where you can mark her as spam and then the emails that she sends will go straight to your bulk folder so you know that you are not missing anything.

    It is better than getting upset all the time and complaining about it. Just markk her as JUNK or SPAM and be done with it.
