Got this pm from WPS


Hey!

I saw you on the WebHostingTalks Forum! I am a freelance website promoter specializing in search engine optimization and submission, and would love to help you promote your site. Unlike most companies I don't charge thousands of dollars, but rather $59. If interested, or you have any questions, please PM me back.

By the way, your site is very well designed!

WPS

:eek:

It would've been more believable if my site was actually very well designed :D

Man, really nice site. I don't know what you used to compress those blank images and non existant html but the site loads really fast for me. :eek:

I heard someone developed a hack which enables to send all the users on the message board a message to their email and PM.

Now that's scary!

No what I mean is that it allows the spammer to send to any vbulletin forum a message from his site!

Bull...it would have crawl literally hundreds of thousands of links to get enough information.

That's why I said I heard - not really sure if it's true or not... but think of it - how horrible it might be!

The spammer in question was banned indefinitely, his URL censored and his IPs blocked, no second chance. Just a heads up for anyone else considering this.
