I agree, Vern. The two that hit me used exactly the same text on a couple of my oldest stories.

I've got to admit they are industrious for finding and reviewing (solicitation) four of my stories in one day, none of which have been published in several years. Credit where credit is due, lol. Take care. Vern

Be afraid, Morag. Be very afraid! There are some with dark powers lurking about. :-)

Dirk and I (and others) are moderators. We have a special access that lets cancel memberships.

Stupid question guys, how do you delete them? I just sent one my publishers details as they would handle this.

Got em. Thanks, JR. I have to admit, this person is getting annoying.

Thanks, Mitch. She's gone, but will probably return. Bill had already closed a number of accounts belonging to her.

In the past (ok, almost entirely on Booksie, which I'm on the verge of withdrawing my work from as well, just to get my "public archive" in one place), I've ignored spammers. Heck, a couple of times I taunted them by saying that they probably were spammers, and that I had no money to spend, but they were welcome to try.

However, one recent attempt (and I'm pretty sure we all know who I'm talking about) has annoyed the hell out of me. It's one thing to use dummy names with a bunch of numbers. But the gall.

Anyway, if I notice anything else i'll bring it up. Thanks for the quick resolution, Dirk, and I like your message on there.

Ha. ha... great description. I got that same feeling after I befriended someone recently and then got a "thank you" note with an invitation to "chat." I didn't respond, thinking I'd wait and see. I'm going to guess, without mentioning the name, that this was one of them...
