Strelets hes at it again and its using my name again. Dont know if it actually means me or has just plucked my name at random but its starting to unnerve me and Im generally finding it a bit creepy!! Plus it worries me that its tapping into forum users now.

Perhaps a new forum format/provider is needed or something? It does seem affect this forum more than most this particular bot. Must be some reason? Is there a specific location that its coming from? Cant traffic from that specific area be blocked??
I dont know as i said before im not an expert, but it does need stop.

Oh...and there is still nothing wrong with my email!!!

I think there would be something wrong with your e-mail, and a whole lot more, if you ever clicked on a link in this spam robots posts. Everyone note, ignore William Smith and never click on any links in it's posts because it's a phishing scam.

Roger.

I would be disturbed if my name featured in these posts so I can understand your distress. I've never heard of "rogers e-mail" but I did an internet search and the first result that came up read:-

"Rogers powered by Yahoo
https://ca.rogers.yahoo.com
Offers high-speed Internet and a wide range of online services through a partnership of Rogers Communications and Yahoo. Get access to email, news, entertainment, video, sports and more".

It looks like William S*it (I may have spelled that incorrectly... Oops!) is refering to an actual e-mail service run by Yahoo and Rogers Communications and it is not a personal attack on you; I hope that puts your mind at rest. Don't click on the links, don't go to the website and don't volunteer any personal information and I think this cyber pillock can do little harm.

Strelets have said that they keep deleting these posts and banning the poster but it keeps coming back with a new IP address. Keep up the goos work Strelets, it has to run out of IP addresses sometime.

Thanks Graeme that info does reassure me a bit, certainly makes you wonder when a name pops up like that. Besides, i dont use yahoo so definately not me!!

Absolutely do not click on any links from this, i agree. I certainly never would or ever will.

I know Strelets are doing their best on this annoying entity and its appreciated for sure, it just seems affect this site more than others ive been on. So was just unsure if there was something about this particular forum that makes it so easy for this kind of thing? The format or provider or software etc etc.
Maybe we need a password instead of that little "click on the traffic lights" puzzle thing you do sometimes before posting? A sort of log in/log out account for each of us?

Chaps,

I'm in Canada. "Rogers" is one of the big three telecom providers over here. They do everything from providing phones, to TV channels, and internet - including a Rogers' email account. I'm pretty sure that rogue Mr Smith is referring to that, and not our Roger.

😂 thats a relief!! Thanks for the heads up!

"Mr Smith" is still an annoying little bot thats for sure!

If that is the case then this reminds me of the "Car Warranty" calls those of us in the US (and perhaps Canada, but I hope not). They are constantly changing phone numbers and calling with robo-calls about your "Car Warranty lapsing." It doesn't do any good to block the number because they use a different number every time and call several times a day.

It's gotten to where most people I know don't bother to answer their phones unless they recognize the name on their caller ID. I have missed several important calls because we generally ignore the land line (which we keep for various reasons) and check back on voice mail later. And of course, there are the spam e-mails that keep coming in.

This age of technology is wonderful - think of the "friends" we've met on sites like these from around the world we might have never known had it not been for the internet. But on the downside are things like "Roger."

As a tombstone reads:

This world that we’re a livin’ in
Is mighty hard to beat.
You get a thorn with every Rose
But ain’t the roses sweet?

"But on the downside are things like "Roger."

Hope you mean this telecoms thing and not me?!! 🙁😢 lol

There are loads of scams out there to catch someone out. Yes indeed the internet is a fantastic thing, but as usual, theres always those who want exploit it for negative means.

Yes every rose has its thorn....as my ex proved!!! 😂😂

LOL - Nil illegitimus carborundum... or something like that.:wink:
