Hello,

Some of my forum members get strange kind of pm in there message box

Quote:I am Mrs Gloria Pelaez from the philippines ,
and this is why i contacted you.

I am the Wife of the Late Mr Emmanuel N.Pelaez of Philippines he worked with America Embassy as An Ambassador for years and hold Political positions in Philippines before he died in the year July 27 2003. We were married for 19 years without a child.

He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians and we lived happilly. Since his death, I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home due to the love i have for my late Husband.Before my husband Death I inherited a total sum of (9million United state dollars) from my late husband when he was in his Sick bed, This money which is concealed in a metallic trunk box is deposited with a security and finance company in Cote d' ivoire under a secret arrangement as a family treasure. This means that the security company does not know the content of this box that was shipped from the Philippine to Cote d' ivoire under a diplomatic coverage.

Recently l Fell Sick and my Doctor told me that from all the test conducted on my health, Without and Urgent and a specialist From your Country I am not going to last long, expecially, due to my Throat cancer and stroke. But what disturbs me most now is stroke.

Having known my condition, I decided to Contact you and Reveal to you in person Regarding my Heritage from my Late husband after my late husband brothers has neglected me and has well sit on my late husband properties and his bank accounts.so i will seek the help of your Christian or you inperson that will help me Secure the release of this Fund from were it was deposited and utilize this money the way I am going to instruct. and also help me to your Country for best Medical Treatment.

I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives Have kept me under dureces just to know the wereabout of this said fund, after they have inherited all my late Husband Properties because l could'nt bear a Child for their Late brother. I don't want my husband's hard earned money WILL to me to be misused or taken from me by my late husband wicked brothers and use for their own selfish interest and in an ungodly manner. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health, and because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me sometimes. I don't want them to know about this development, but I know that With God all things are possible.

As soon as I receive your reply in my next mail I shall give you the contact of the Security and finance company in Cote d' ivoire and the Authorization Certificate which is the Certificate of deposit that they gave me on the very day when the box of money was deposited under their company to enable you call them and give them your address for the immediate shipment of the box to you as the original- beneficiary of this fund.

I want you and your church to always pray for me because God work in misterious ways. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Who ever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you soon.
Indicate your intrest.

I think it is 100% spam
yes, and it's done by a human not with a spam bot.
so there is noway to stop that, but only to ban this user.
I'm sorry but how is it a problem with MyBB like you said in that thread?? As pepo said, someone has signed up and is sending PMs, how is that MyBB's fault?? Even if Akismet should pick up on it, that's nothing to do with MyBB.
I have a plugin that requires minimum posts to send a PM. It works very well. I have it set to 10 on my forums and you quickly notice a spammer with 10 posts. I just ban them at that point.
Has anyone considered extending the Aksimet plugin to include PMs, not just posts?
A plugin for a plugin! Cool!

Because I thought it was a kind of bug like I had a year ago in the post part of my forum.
And I was not sure if it was written by a human being I thought it was auto generated to 10.000 of mybb users and that I was the first one that regornized it.


Why not a kind of spamfilter for PM??
Or something when people use some kind of words PM's could not be sended.
