Has anyone else received a generic message from giag asking to be contacted via a different email account?
He/she seems persistent.

Yes, i have. I presumed he/ she was one of those marketing spammers since i have never seen the user on the forum. Mods please take note.

Even I have got the message from giag! to contact him/her. He/She doesnt have any posts in the forum.
Always borrow money from a pessimist, he doesn't expect to be paid back.

ARGH, this irritates me so much! Really sorry that you guys have been hassled by this spammer. If you see any more messages like this (or any spam) from BTG, let me know immediately. This guy has been banned as of yesterday...

Hey Eric,
I also received a similar message about the guy trying to give me some vital information.
Is it possible that this an automated message sent via a machine instead of some person??
I by mistake even clicked on the link.
Hope,it is not some virus infected link.
Also,how can someone get access to the account??
Is it listed on the profile??
I tried opening someone else's profile but I see that the e-mail id is not listed in the "Profile for User xyz" section.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

The spam was from "giag" only.
I think many ppl in this community got this spam.

It was around 14th or 15th of Feb.
I guess he is banned now.

Thanks again for looking into the matter.
Can automated machines create such nuisance??
Because on BTG,we are not required to write the words from the "captcha".(like in e-mail id creation)
I guess if David can do that ,it would be very helpful.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)

We do require a captcha for the registration process, but we think captchas are quite burdensome once you've become an active member here. Overall, I think our ability to capture spam is pretty good (we stop literally hundreds of spammers each week), but it's unfortunate when even one spammer can get through.
