Hi -
I know it is very annoying. These people are the SAME group. We ban them and they come back with a different IP and member name.

Yesterday I deleted 14 or more of their "messages."

Update - today it was 20 posts under that screen name.

Don't know why they think anybody here will click on their links!

Thanks Steph for all you do!

Re: Steph, Becky, Sassy, We have a spammer
 

Thanks for taking care of this on the forum site. But a bigger problem is their posts send an email if you're part of a thread and if you open that, then they're into your computer. I'm hoping I didn't get a virus or phished.

Thanks for pointing that out, Nanajoni.

I have not gotten the emails. And I comment on a lot of threads. I will pay attention to that now.

Hi Pink -
Thanks, that happen to anyone else?
I don't get email notifications, so did not know that.

Maybe you could change your password and see if that still happens?

Mine are going under junk also

Thanks, Mary -
I wonder if that means your virus filter is detecting the email notifications as spam or infected?

Any way to scan one of your notification messages to see why it is going to junk?

Re: Steph, Becky, Sassy, We have a spammer
 

If you receive an e-mail notification because the spammer posted to a thread you are subscribed to, the e-mail would still be from the site, not from the spammer. So opening an e-mail notification should not pose a threat.

Not sure why your spam detector is picking up on the notifications, but the work-around is to open the junk mail folder, select the diverted e-mail and mark as "not junk". If you are using Outlook, a window will pop up allowing you to select "always trust e-mail from this address". Check the box. The e-mail address is the HER2 address, not the spammer's.

Last week I received about 4 different response to thread emails...all different subjects....but the comment was "thanks for share"

Not sure if this is part of the spamming you are descrbing. Thanks to those who keep us clean.

Hi Ladies
there is a crazy post by "spooflookymusssss" on the thread I started about Navelbine with a crazy rating. I do not know if you can erase it. Michka

Hi Michka -
We sure don't need these interruptions!

I removed and banned the little "flooky."
