Is it spam
Is it spam
I've received a private email purporting to be from someone giving away 2 Toyota cars via Madaboutkitcars. It looks suspicious - Is it?
Appears so, goes to a Coke Cola "give me your info" site. Win big prize..
Yep just had 2 now.
Giving away 2 toy yodas......I love Star Wars !
A good rule for spam email (and life) is that if it appears to be too good to be true then it probably is. Suggests the MAKC server has been infected so we should all receive increased amounts of crap soon.
I've had 4 now.
I've had a couple so far.
How many free Toyotas are there left?
They are even giving them to us in NZ so deleted both of them
Can you let me know the username that these PM messages are coming from please.
Ta, John

Me too, but only three of them were winners. I've now got two unregistered GT 86's and a brand new Land Cruiser on my drive. Oink Oink, flap flap.
Oh no, hang on, it's spam isn't it.
All four messages deleted without opening, I suggest everyone else who's sane does the same.

graham23s is the twat in question. Joined today funnily enough.
Thanks Oxford
I have deleted the user in question, they had sent out 20 PMs which are also now deleted.
Even though the PM messaging system was already set so that it couldn't be flooded, I have tightened it a bit more.
Cheers everyone, and sorry for the actions of the occasional d1ckhead!
In all the years ive been here its the first one that I received.
Some forums are dire for it
Well done JG
Thanks gents, swiftly sorted.
