Default PM Function Disabled

Hi Everyone,

We are being attacked by Spammers trying to use the PM Function to spam the membership. Their exact intent I'm not sure about, however my guess is some type of Scam.

Beware of PM's from these Spammers!!!

The PM function has been temporarily disabled until this Spam Attack is over. Sorry for any inconvience.

OK the problem with the PM SPAMMERS is over for the time being at least!!

PM Function has been restored to normal operation.

The Spammers were the ones sending messages about the Phony Rally.

Please be advised that this Ultimate Rally is a SCAM!!!

The spammers were using a Boiler Room to send PM's to all the members here as well as using an IP Generator to stay one step ahead of the site software. All the Boiler Room handles (12)have been deleted and disabled.

If anyone recieves suspicious unsolicited PM's or EM's please contact the Admin so that we may take the neccesary steps to protect the membership from scams.

Thank You, Admin
