Thanks, guys - we've de-activated these accounts too. Getting immediate feedback from the community alerting us of spammers has been incredibly helpful!

Dear Alex,
Thanks for your comment regarding the spammer. We are aware of the issue and have de activited the accounts right away. We are also working on several ways to prevent this from happening in the future. There is a couple of conversation happening on WiserEarth: http://www.wiserearth.org/forum/view/5515c116fb52f6f526e3d02c4b3e35dc/postid/5392 We also created a wiki page with more information on the issue here: http://www.wiserearth.org/article/4675d3ede2894297713e3d12778032b5/new/1 We are also implementing right now various things such as the ability for any user to report a spam and well as some automatic ways to get alerts when a user sends more than 50 emails Thanks again, Peggy |

Hey, all:
I am copying this message from Ed "Swanlake" on one of the other 3 threads reporting scam/spam, since it contains other web addresses that seem to be involved somehow. this may help. I also suggested having one topic to report scam/spam, just so we don't create a separate problem of keeping up with reports. Here is Ed's message: "I just received a message from wiser earth user Norah01 who seems to be using the site for date scamming purposes just a heads up ed ProfileHeaven -> Women -> norah norahkofia@yahoo.com Hello Dear I saw your profile at www.profileheaven.com and some thing about you motivated me to comminicate with you,so how is life ... www.profileheaven.com/norah - 27k - Cached - Similar pages Dating scammer Vivan Doma from Norah Kofia <norahkofia@yahoo.com> hide details Nov 17 (1 day ago) to dutch <dutch81@gmail.com> date Nov 17, 2007 2:21 AM ... www.delphifaq.com/faq/russian_marriage_scams/f2324.shtml - 45k - Cached - Similar pages Hagi21, 22lat, Mężczyzna - Rybnik - Profil osoby / Randki, Randka ... norahkofia@yahoo.com Hello Dear I saw your profile at www.twarzeee.pl and some thing about you motivated me to comminicate with you,so how is life treating ... hagi21.twarzeee.pl/ - 36k - Cached - Similar pages misio2221, 23lat, Mężczyzna - Płosńk - Profil osoby / Randki ... norahkofia@yahoo.com Hello Dear I saw your profile at www.friendsandfire.de and some thing about you motivated me to comminicate with you,so how is life ... misio2221.twarzeee.pl/ - 38k - Cached - Similar pages" David Messages done with sustainable energy, with Wind and Sun! |

We've been hit by one of our first spammers, it seems. If anyone has received a message from Angel4Love, we're quite certain it's a fraudulent scheme and we urge our users not to respond. We researched this message and found that it been posted similarly on other site with social networking features, so it's something we will consider carefully and see if there's a good solution to implementing security controls without hampering the messaging tool. In any case, we will de-activate Angel4Love's profile, but feel free to post questions or ideas in this topic, and I'll check back frequently. (It's been added to my watchlist! :) )
