I received a PM from "katemystify?"
 
I received a strange PM requesting a trade from someone named Kasia aka "katemystify." There is no one by that name in the Member list. I don't trade anymore which made it even more strange.

How can someone who isn't a member send a PM?

ETA: I found her profile page. Still don't now why I was sent a PM. I haven't done a kettlebell workout in years.

:confused:

I got a PM from that username too. I did reply that I wasn't interested in giving up any DVDs and suggested she try the request the wealth thread.

I got one, too. I told her I wasn't interested.

Years ago when VF was still very active someone hijacked my prior screen name. I was not active on the forum at the time. That person stole from VF'ers who thought they were trading with me.

Eek. We haven't had an addition to the "bad trader" list in years.

there was a time a few years ago when VFers were getting "spam" PMs from someone, not for trading, but just robot-sounding types of PMs.

edited to say:
I tagged this thread with "spam PM" - there's lots of threads about other cases on VF. in one case, Wwwendy shut down their account. as such, if you get one from the perpetrator, please post here.

Oh oh. I got a message from her too. I wasn't interested either. Hmmmmmm

copying a post from Wwwendy from another case regarding getting the user's account disabled:

I also should add that if this happens again (a VF account gets hijacked in order to spam), please send me a quick email with the name of the account and that will help me get it stopped ASAP.

I got one from her too wanting to trade. She mentioned noticing that I posted about a certain instructor whichI haven’t done in ages. It seemed really strange.

I also received the same PM yesterday, very strange.
