When I came on the forum this morning, I discovered we had a new spammer here.  He is a part of a group of spammers whom mh had already warned of the consequences of a repetition of their work.  I have deleted his post, and also banned him here.

Even more serious, another mischief maker registered here from Russia as ForumTeamSupports, and has sent out multiple PMs to members of a malevolent nature.  Mine is reproduced below:

Dear, Dave!

A virus alert was noticed on your computer.
We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately: http://security-tool2010.org/Dave

I am messaging mh to get this account deleted straight away, but all members who receive such a PM should ignore it, as there is no telling what harm may result from clicking on the link he has provided.  BE WARNED!

Dave.

I have now deleted the account of ForumTeamSupports, and have also reserved the words 'Forum' and 'forum' to prevent others from trying to register using such names.

Thanks to all members who have sent me urgent messages about what may have been a phising message.

I repeat Dave's warning that all members who received a similar PM should ignore it, and under no circumstances to click on the hyperlink given.
