A Question About Messages,

I have been away for my Brother's Funeral. This morning, back at home and on my computer I had two new messages. Both were advertising websites that will make me a thousand dollars every day on line.
I'm so excited!
Who in their right mind would even respond to a "just click this link for more information"?
Not me, that's for sure! I don't want viruses or lies from spammers.
I want to remove the trash from my messages but there is no delete button.
So my Question is - since I can't copy and paste my messages to let Admin know someone is spamming us, how in the heck do we get rid of the trash?.
I did look, both spammers are not here anymore so why is their trash still here?
I should be allowed to remove that crap and not have to look at it.
I am not a Happy Camper.
The photo was taken in 1941. My mother holding her first born, my brother Bob, who left us behind this week.

You don't need to copy the message when reporting the spam. Just message me with a link to their profile.

you can also change your message settings to only those you follow can PM you, so every time a member joins mylot for the sole purpose of spamming and scamming, you won't receive those kinds of messages.

Good advice. I will think about that. I am amazed that people go to the trouble of signing in to just be removed the same day. What a waste of time and effort.

@hereandthere I have no idea, they must be paid but probably only when someone takes the bait. Hopefully no one from here would take the bait.

I think that Admin is getting rid of spammers when they run across them. It is a huge problem all over the internet!

I see more of it than I want too but am always willing to check on something suspicious and flag it too.

I realize that this is old and Admin took care of the problem, so different from the B site where nothing ever was taken care of !! It now makes me wonder what those guys were actually doing in their office, certainly not minding the ship!!

My deepest condolences to you and your family. That is a lovely picture of your brother and mom. I also love my family a lot and recently lost my grandmother.
As per the messages.. I have no idea and would also like to know, as I'm new here.

I hope you are comfortable here now, I was looking through my older posts to make sure I returned the favor of a comment for a comment and found a few on this post that I hadn't acknowledged so I am doing that today. Thank you for your kind words.
