BEWARE: Scammer Using This Website to Sell Viagra and Cialis

Postby JamesSusan73003 » Fri 08 May 2009 8:21 pm

Are you aware that someone using the name "profilicus" is using this website to try to sell Cialis and/or Viagra? As a single, female, senior U.S. citizen I find this deplorable. Is there some way to block this unscrupulous use of UK Keratoconus website as a method of avoiding AOL and other scam-blocking programs and, thereby, luring an unsuspecting person, who is very concerned about keratoconus, to read profilicus' ad? I am aware that thousands of persons do use Cialis or Viagra and I understand they do serve a worthwhile purpose. Lately, though, there have been so many daily scammers trying to sell these sexual performance enhancers, but they are usually recognizable. This person, profilicus, fooled me. I was expecting some news about an advance in keratoconus treatments.

I too have just opened a message from Proflicus and was wondering how this could be avoided on this site. I was also fooled into thinking it was a message of importance .

WE have blocked any further posts from proflicus; the most difficult thing is that the advert was posted as a litter of private messages; it may be that we willneed to find a way to moderate the private message feature of the forum; previous spammers have always posted on an open forum where their advertising messages could be deleted.

I do ask that anyone who receives a private message that is 'off topic' should report it immediately to the Administrator or one of the Moderators.

I did not receive this PM, so was not able to take action until somebody told me of the problem.

On behalf of the forum, may I say that we deeply regret any offense that has been caused to members by the arrival of unsuitable messages in their Private Message 'Inbox'.

I may be daft but how do you delete a pm as I have an unwanted pm in my in box. I deleted the E mail as I had already seen the warning I may be missing something due to the way I have set my screen
Any help

You 'check' the tick box next to the name of the pm you want to delete and then select 'delete tagged' from the menu.
