SPAM

I have a mesage in my INBOX that is clearly SPAM but I don't see the "Report bad behavior." link on the page while I read the e-mail...  How do I report this SPAM?

I'm in the same boat...

I got the following sent to me:

DEAR ,ONE

I AM DEAF GIRL MY NAME IS STELLE KOMANA THE DAUGHTER OF LATE DR AND MRS ALFRED KOMANA, MY FAHTER WAS A VERY WEALTHY COCOA MERCHANT BASED IN ABIDJAN. THE ECONOMIC CAPITAL OF IVORY COAST BEFORE HE WAS POISONED TO DEATH BY HIS BUSINESS ASSOCIATES, ON ONE OF THEIR OUTING TO DISCUSS ON A BUSINESS DEAL. WHEN MY MOTHER DIED ON THE 5TH OCTOBER 2005. MY FATHER TOOK ME SO SPECIAL BECAUSE I AM MOTHERLESS.

BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER ON 29TH MARCH 2007 IN A PRIVATE HOSPITAL HERE IN ABIDJAN. HE SECRETLY CALLED ME ON HIS BEDSIDE AND TOLD ME THAT HE HAS A SUM OF US$12.500.000 (TWELVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND, UNITED STATES DOLLARS) LEFT IN A LOCAL BANK HERE IN ABIDJAN.

I might get my share of this money if I fly to the Ivory Coast with all the money I have and can borrow from friends, then be kidnapped beaten and killed. Does this sound like a good deal to you?

Yep, I got it too this morning from a user called Stelle01. Different text, same stupid scam. I banned the account, so you shouldn't be receiving anymore emails from them. However, if you do or if you get more from a different user, just post their username and the text of the email in this thread and I will deal with it accordingly. Sorry for the spam, I guess that means the community is growing, and attracting less desireable types.

Yea - that's the user - I didn't want to include the username in my initial complaint...  Got it...  Maybe you should add the abuse link to the e-mail read page?

yeah, the abuse link got lost in the last site redesign. I am working on getting that back to a most visible spot for messaging, discussions, etc. Until that happens, your best bet is to post it in here. Thanks for the feedback.
