I have recieved a private message from this "person" and 2 emails saying please contact them at some other site. Isn;t this a sign of a fake "spammer" account? The "name" of the person is Ezram Kowa, anybody else have something similar.

I think the mods may have already taken care of this one. There used a be a couple of posts about it on the Moderator Attention thread in the WrongPlanet.net discussion forum, but they're gone now.

Pm one of the mods if you're still concerned. That's the best way to deal with spammers, btw.

I was contacted,yesterday by some strange "girl" with the profile name of Ezbaby, who wanted my private e-mail. Who specifically didn't want me to use PM. Ezbaby got a message saying "no" on a PM, and I got no answer. Profile shows no activity. Person called it self Ezra.

Guess it is the same one.

Yea, the spammers have some serious... family jewels. No topic or site about a topic is safe.

Most of the time, you can pick out a spammer because there is NOTHING personal about the message. Most people who PM you will have no trouble adding in something funny you said in the last post they saw, not that generic crap they all spam out. And they won't care if you PM back.
