SPAM messages

Hello
I have been receiving some SPAM messages using my e-mail Yahoo address, originating in this Forum. It is the usual story about a fortune waiting to be sent to somene's Bank account (my account). I wonder if other members are recently receiving this sort of messages and what can be done to prevent this. So far I have decided do delete without opening any message from an unknown (to me) originated in this Forum. If someone has a better idea, I would like to hear about it, as there is a risk of deleting something important..
Thanks in advance
Joao

Joao, would you please post the culprit user name from which you receive the spam messages so I can delete it? And how long ago was the message from?

Thank you!
Vlad

I actually found a responsible member that I just deleted who was doing it - lily08. As I was saying before, nothing relly prevents a person who registers with verified email to send private messages.. I apologize once more, but I'm sure it happens on a lot of open forums... for some reason we are their primary target..

Thanks,
Vlad
