I tried twice last night to report a spam message I received, using the "Report" section, but I don't think either message got through so I'm trying "Reply" instead. The spam was from someone using the name "Stevenstone01" and in the message he called himself a doctor (if he's a doctor I'm the Empress Josephine). He also claimed to be from some financial company, and was asking me to falsely claim to be the next- of-kin of one his dead clients so that he could give me thousands of dollars! Needless to say I blocked him from my page and I trust you will block him from this site. Thankyou guys.

Sometimes the system doesn't work as expected, it could have been an accident on his part. I'll send him a warning for now.

<b>http://my.opera.com/juliankreuz</b> just sent me and others links to modified versions of Opera Mini, set up to allow free browsing by bypassing the network. Not only are these rip-offs of the Mini team's hard work, they cause networks to block the application completely. mad I've never been this pissed off by PM spam!

A blog post about you now too, not that the language means anything to me (or presumably you). I see "Connection Seller", Buyer, Full Price/10% down, and in the blog post something about a million dollars cash ... guess I'll call it spam.

I see he's posted in the Indonesian forum, if we really wanted to know I guess we'd need someone there to translate - but looks clear enough to me.

Somehow Peter Umeh doesn't look like a spammer, barring that he lists his occupation as "dealing on shirts" he seems like a regular person. So I'll merely give him a warning this time - I told him you weren't interested in being his friend, and pointed out that commercial content isn't allowed here. If we get any reports on him trying to sell stuff in the future he will be gone.

Anetababy on the other hand is an obvious scammer and is gone.

Thanks for both.

May be "doubtful", but we don't ban people simply for Friend requests. Unless they get carried away with too many requests or there's something objectionable in their profile.

Did you try blocking him? Just go to his About page, you'll see a button there - in English it would be labeled "Block". Click that, and he can't send messages to you.

Are you saying he sent you a PM spam, or just that you can't read his About page? In the desktop version of Opera switching to User mode will disable the theme. It'll also make the menus at the top look terrible, but you'll be able to read the text.
