Hi everyone,
Freecycle has had its worst attack ever. Someone has created a Bot to generate 'new' Members and they reply to open Posts.
The Spam Control team and Tech team are getting in control of it.
Let us know the names of bad 'Members' - most have been deleted. A scammer with an exclamation mark (!) at the start has been removed!
The bot looks for active posts which is why they come in to your messages. They are not members, it is all computer genenerated.
They cannot access your account - they rely on you clicking a link to get your information.
We are all sorry that this has spoiled your enjoyment of Freecycle
Regards,
Your Local Mods,
Dave & Jo
