Got this PM, it's pure spam IMO. Sender has no posts and the main website is some scammer with a pyramid selling system. Quote: Hi BadThad, I noticed you on coin talk. As a fellow member and coin collector I want to let you in on some great info. The numis metwork is about to launch a marketing opportunity for collectors like us to not only add to our collections but to earn serious income while doing it. You can visit the link www.*****************/dlilly for more info or send me a private message with any questions. I urge you to get in early on the action and reap the benefits. Thanks for your time. dlilly __________________ Lincoln Lover! http://verdigone.com   06-28-2009, 08:26 PM   #2 (permalink) Leadfoot Numismatist     Join Date: Apr 2005 Posts: 5,617 My Mood:   06-28-2009, 08:31 PM   #3 (permalink) mark_h Numismatist     Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 6,186 Yep-- and here I was thinking I was special. __________________ the other mark Best Baan Community Empty airtite seeks unwanted coins.

I would think that PM'n abilities should be restricted to members with ## posts. A newbie with no posts, should not be allowed to send PM's since this can happen and will continue to happen until restrictions are implemented.
