I am wondering how many of my dear colleagues got the message of Tanya Payne, that looked like that:

I think they've received the old boot. I looked up the info here and the deactivated text came up so I felt I was right that some spam of some sort has quickly been deleted.

And to Gary too:

I think it's just someone who is searching through the listings and inviting them randomly.

I wouldn't have said anyting if the person would have mentioned the images on my website, because I get often unsolicited positive feedback... but THIS one was referring to my mostly 2nd tier ModelMayhem photos... so I KNEW something was up.

I posted to increase awareness that some spambot is on the prowl.

theres a new message from tyler over the 'message' text box, if you send the same message to more than 5 users, youll be flagged/marked as spam or something.
