Default Do not click on links received in private messages

We've been posting messages here in the forums warning people about the private messages from other members. We've banned a number of s/n for posting these messages, but they keep coming back under different names and IPS. NEVER click on a link from a Private Message.
These messages are NOT from Soulforce.

Hi Karal
I can not get an independent page for myself and write who I am !!!I have been writting on other members pages like I am writting to you right now but I would like to have a page of my own and and let other members know me better , one more thing can you give me Dr Mel whites phone number or an E-mail that I can directly write to him as I am translating his book " Stranger At The gate " and I think if we are ever going to be able to put an end to the cruelty that Gay and lesbian people are going through in the countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia and many other countries of the middle east is through education and Mr Whites book and books of similar nature which are written by a pure heart and motive by the people who Know God and love him is going to do the task, please help me to get in touch with this man of God as i have a similar story like him but from a different background i converted from Islam to christianity and at the time of my Convertion I firmly believed that i Have become a Heterosexual man and Married but now after 22 years of conversiion and twenty years of marriage i have realized that my behavior has changed but my orientation is going to stay with me forever and I want to wrtie my own story for the Muslim world and all the religions and tell them being gay is not something we choose ,it is who we are and they should open the doors and let us in and do not keep us like a " Stranger At The Gate " God bless you Masood

Dear Masood: I'm not sure at all what your first question about an independent page is about. We don't have independent pages for anyone. Everyone fills out a profile, and some people have private blogs, but the blogs are created by them.

Secondly, I can't give you Mel's phone numbers. You can write him at Mel@soulforce.org, and I will forward it to him. However, I believe you already did that, and if he didn't respond to it, I'm not sure what to tell you.

By the way, this message is more appropriate to a private message to me than in the forums. Please do that in the future.

Kara

Dear Kara , I am sorry if I have made a mistake, but that is the problem, I am new in this and I do not know how to send private messages , so please if you can send me a private message do so and tell me where to look for it!

yes, that is exactly what I want to do I want to make a blog, so other members can answere to my topics when I post them and i do not know how to do it .

I'll try the E-mail address you have provided , I have sent two E-mails but I have sent it to Melwhite @ probably that is the reason he did not recieve them but I am very thankful for your quick ansswer I would love to give you my e- mail address here but i am not sure if it is the right thing to do please let me know how I can send my letters privately and I'll give you my E-mail or if you have my e_mail send me a letter there once I learn my way things won,t be so complicated and if you want to remove my letters from your blog please do so or teach me and I'll do it myself thank you Masood

Default more private spam - do not click on their links

XandderrMan is posting spam. He has been banned, but they keep coming back under different names. Again, be warned that you should NEVER download links received in private messagesfrom other members.

Default RazzorrMan-BEWARE another spammer

RazzorrMan has just been banned. Do not click on to the links in his private messages. Be aware that we've been under attack from a number of screen names, so DO NOT CLICK ON TO ANY LINK received in a private message. It is NOT from Soulforce.

Default BEWARe OF MESSAGES FROM ForumTeamSupports

As I've warned several times we have someone coming in and posting virus links in private messages that are dangerous. We have had somewhere between 6 to a dozen varying screen names. The most recent looks like it could be an authentic message from Soulforce, but it is not. ForumTeamSupports is simply the latest name to keep posting links that will damage your computer. DO NOT click on to these links

Thanks Kara. I got two messages, but have not opened yet because I was suspicious. Is it ok to delete them without opening? Thanks.

Yes, please delete them. Our webmaster has been diligently cleaning up the problems, and I think we've got it under control now. But it is ALWAYS a good policy not to click on links from unknown senders.
