I got that too

Forum member Allstar has been inactive since 2009, and only has one post. Therefore, I believe a spammer hacked his account, and is sending the personal messages. I have notified the administrative team, and we are waiting for the forum owner to disable his account, or change the password, et cetera.

Yea I banned him yesterday after reading this thread. Thanks!

I don't think his account was compromised though, as the IP from the PMs he sent was the same as his registration IP.

Thank you, Quadz.

He was dormant since 2009. Perhaps he was a 'sleeper cell.'
