Warning, Spammer spotted!

DON'T READ THIS YOU WILL BE KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. IF YOU SEND THIS MESSAGE TO 7 SAMPLE SCRATCH PROJECTS IN 1 MINUTE, YOUR CRUSHES' NAME WILL APPEAR ON YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN IN VERY BIG LETTERS. IF YOU DO NOT SEND THIS MESSAGE TO 10 SCRATCH SAMPLE PROJECTS, YOU WILL DIE IN 2 DAYS. THIS IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS.

If you have heard this, you have been spammed. I have seen it on some of my projects, and one of Imsosuperswell1's project. Have you seen this spammer?
Discuss Spammers youve met.

Re: Warning, Spammer spotted!

Framing people isn't the answer - I'd probably remove that link before the ST does...
And yes, that is a chain message: a flavour of spam  tongue

The ST does not like gossip about other users here... even if they never come to the forums or are evil trolls.

Offending strangers since 2010.

Those are annoying.  But not that big a deal...just flag them as inappropriate and the Scratch Team will talk to the spammer.  Thanks!

Re: Warning, Spammer spotted!

I have no spam on my projects. No wait......does this one post by some person who think they're tiffany thorton count? Well, I guess not. That's the plus side when nobody views your stuff. No spam, no worries!  big_smile

Goodbye, Misc. Until we meet again.
