Spam Private Messages

Post by Martin F »

Dear valued members
Recently many forum members have been receiving 'spam' private messages claiming to be from site admin. This is a new form of spammer and at this time we are unable to locate them until they have sent these messages.
This is to reiterate that these pm's have nothing to do with IMOC-UK and under no circumstances should you click on any links in the pm's. IMOC-UK or its representatives will never send out this kind of PM to any member, and we certainly do not have the technology to detect spam from any user's computer.


On coming across any of these pm's can you please report them immediately to any moderator or committee member and it will be dealt with as soon as possible.
Best course of action is to delete , then report.

Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

IMOC Committee

I've informed the spanner wielders about this user already. He will be banned and the PMs deleted. It will have gone to however many people they sent it to. :thumleft:

HERE'S HOW . . .
Just take a look at and open an account with AVA FX via the link.
Next - deposit $200 into the account and send us an email with your account details, then we'll activate your signal shop account without delay.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
Free access to all of our trades, exactly the same as our very own PROFESSIONAL TRADING GURU is trading on our account - in real time, we'll see to everything for you

WHAT'S IN IT FOR US?
We get compensation from the broker for every client we pass their way . . . the more you win, the more we win.
