NEW MEMBERSHIP DENIED?

[Frank Ford]

Lately there has been a daily barrage of obvious spammers applying for membership here at FRETS.NET.

Some time ago, I added those simple questions to weed out those bots or people who obviously don't belong, and every day I deny the membership to a dozen or more automated responses (usually two random letters).

Sometimes, though, I do manage to push the "deny" by accident.  PLEASE try again to register if that happens to you!

Cheers,

Frank

Sounds like you have your hands full.
Now that you confirmed that it was a scammer, here is the email address he used:

[e-mail]

So users, be careful when receiving mail from this address.

Hello

How is everything with you, my name is Stephen Bollin,I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site. Could you please get back to me on:([e-mail]) for the full details.

Have a nice day
Stephen Bollin.

Hi T Retnev

I kicked them about an hour ago.

I really appreciate you letting me know. 
Frets.net is a useful community we need to keep it that way!
