This really steams me! I just got a private message, posted by someone who signed up on Dec 3 and never posted. It's spam, pure spam, and harmful, because the message is to go to an herbal site and find out what to do, for example, to cure breast cancer (they say green tea, yeah, right)! I tried to contact someone on this site, but I couldn't find anything to click. MODERATOR OF THIS SITE - BLOCK THIS PERSON! If you try to contact the webmaster, you find that you have to PAY to subscribe! Anyway, here's the message (I took out the website name so you don't encourage that person by clicking!):

Hi,There
As a fellow member, an advanced Web user & most importantly natural or home remedy lover, I would like to introduce you to our new Fantasy Home Remedy site called: ____________________ I'll appreciate if you could find a few minutes to explore our site and I thought that it would be great to get your feedback by "add suggestions" before we start "shooting" in all directions. Thanks!
____________ enables you to find natural treatments that can really help. Explore treatments for conditions that interest you. View the comments people shared. Check surveys' results to see what actually works. Add your own treatments, comment and vote for treatments from your personal experience and knowledge. Meet people with same health interests. Send Treatments to help your family and friends. Invite others to join. We will all be "earning our sweat" if we help just one person.
How to Browse:- By topic - using the Conditions segments on the left, or by ABC - below. Click the Treatments tab to browse all Natural Treatments. The Ingredients tab will take you to an encyclopedia-like area of natural substances.
Cheers
joulie85

Actually, by the time I got to check it, someone else had already done it. Or maybe I had done it as I reviewed the profile of our new members. I delete so many that I cannot remember the name. But, his/her membership no longer exists.
Thank you again. Since Private Messages are truly private, the only way for us to find out about abuses is if the members report it to us.
