Get rid of spam "member"(?)

[Fuddyduddy1952]

A few weeks ago I posted about buying a pto tiller. Ever since, every day I get this email from "Jack Yuan" about buying some Chinese tiller! How do I get rid of this pest?
Screenshot shows it.

An email on some other company, or a PM here on TBN?

 

[Fuddyduddy1952]

PM on TBN

 

[MossRoad]

Thanks. I can't find that username. I'll report it to the management.

 

[Fuddyduddy1952]

Thanks so much. I delete but very annoying.

I can find the user but it won't actually let us open the profile.

I remember him posting fairly regular a couple months ago though.

Already banned.

Yeah, I thought he was a member, I'm pretty sure I interacted with him before.

Sad to see he was just a deep sleep spammer.

He was here many years. Connected with nova-tractor.com and/or other Chinese companies.

We didn't wipe all his content but just banned for now. If he wants to come back he can but not sending unsolicited messages.

This is the door-to-door carpet salesman of spammers. Why waste your effort on blasting emails out to 40,000 recipients, when you can devote all your time to bugging just one guy through PM's on TBN?

If the actual success rate for spammers is 1 out of 1000, he's going to be doing an awful lot of legwork to get one sale through his chosen method.

I couldn't figure a way to block the emails.

Probably better for the community in general that you reported it.

Use the REPORT feature at the bottom of any post or message that seems out of the norm, it alerts the staff to the issue so you don't have to post it publicly.

 

[Fuddyduddy1952]

I don't have that. I posted screenshot.

I always found him to be very helpful. I think he was involved with BETSCO, but last I saw he was promoting NOVA.
Sad to see him spamming. Maybe a bot got his account.

I got my Ditch and Bank Flail Mower from them last year. It's been a good quality mower, and I really like the design of the flails. It eats everything I feed it. They are heavy though and your tractor will know the mower is hanging out there when extended. Keep your tires aired up high.
