Ok, got a friend request today from someone whose username was a spam link. The avatar was a matching spam link (not a picture at all, just text). Is this something new to myLot, or has anyone else seen this? Needless to say I denied this person. I already get enough spam in my messages!

Wow! I can say that I have never seen that before here at myLot.
I hope you reported it. :)
I wonder how the person did that! I would think that person would be banned.
It is amazing what people will do to try to cheat.

I haven't seen that yet. It's probably spam bots. They're impossible to keep off of sites - block one and ten more pop up in their place. I hated the ones all over yahoo. At least here they have to be added to your friends to bother you, so that should cut down on them bothering people.

Exactly. That's why I stopped using Yahoo.

There are a lot of scammers and spammers
on myLot right now. Many are from Africa
trying to con you into a good deal.
Most are trying to get you to sign up on
other sites. Some are just looking to use
you as a referral on another site to make
more money.

True, there are a lot of spammer in mylot thats why im so careful in choosing my friends. I have encountered a spam link here and sad to say that i was not only bombarded with spam mails but i also received a virus from it. I believed mylot have deleted that topic with such a link.
