Yeah, they never come with the money in a suitcase, either, despite my many requests! :eek:

This does seem a serious issue! As soon as a forum like RAT is infested with users putting out spam, things can only go downhill from there. So I second the suggestion to have Raja "woadwarriored" and shut down pronto. Plus being on guard for him resurfacing in any other guise.

Agreed, Robert.
May I ask if any of our Moderator's has brought it to Jasper's notice?(Although I do realise he's a busy chap).

Yes, this morning. Recommending termination with extreme prejudice.

I got the same PM and joined the Greek Cavalry Group because John was listed.
Don't know who this Raja guy is, but you're all correct. He's selling junk... and junk-mail. :whistle:

Yes, it is a disadvantage of the Social Features. Raja is now blocked.

I have also noticed a couple of lurkers that have popped up in the forum from time to time - one Chinese, the other Russian. I usually reply to them (in their own languages) and ask them why they are here (among other things). I believe they are advertising something. Of course they never respond, but it's fun letting them know they don't belong in here in a PERSONAL way. :wink:

Well done katsika - wish I could do that!
And yes, Jurjen; someone trying the same thing again. I got a message from the same person.
