No messages here. But, how did they find us?

tat2gurl · 05-09-2010, 10:45 AM

my guess would be google?

He must've sent messages only to users with 0 posts ( less chance of getting reported) This morning I noticed him browsing the member list and mass sending private messages. I registered a new user and few minutes later I received a private message, saying visit my website. When I googled his website:

Code:

http://123redirect.com/serendipity

there are tons of similar reports on many other forums.

I'm betting all those people that flock here to our Sunoco threads when a race is going on have that pm
