Is this a new set of ads, or is it just a member asking for a ban?
 
Looks like pretty organized spamming. I just got the same one from MarkPorsches. I sent an email about it to the staff.

Haha well i haven't been attacked yet. Its sad, that guy who has to copy and paste that same mesage over and over again, don't people have anything else better to do?
 
I forwarded my PM straight to Jordan and the nearest online SM. My spammer was banned on the spot... :D

mplacki - He doesn't need to PM it now, 'cos you've posted full URLs in the main message board...

Hello to all supporters of the Ultimate Rally,

Last Friday we launched a guerrilla marketing campaign in which we reached 1 million members of the "car enthusiasts" community on 20 different forums in the USA, UK and Germany. It was a great success and we received dozens of new applications. The sooner the Ultimate Rally marketing phase is over and all 100 team slots are filled the better for us. Our plan is to sell ALL driver slots and all guest passes before the end of this year. It will allow my team to focus entirely on organizing this event. Therefor we are going to launch a second wave of advanced ultimate guerrilla marketing. alien

Please send me an email to kim@ultimaterally.com if you speak one of the following languages:
Turkish, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Portoguese, French or Korean.
We need your help to translate our "500 words" marketing message.

We are planning to contact 5 million car enthusiasts around the world.
Please send us the links to the most famous car & racing forums in the following countries:
Spain, France, Portugal, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Canada, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Brunai, Kuwait, China & Hong Kong, South Korea and most importantly JAPAN

Each forum link that you provide to us will be worth 50 USD of Ultimate Rally shopping goods for you. If your link was used in this campaign you can spend your credit in our Ultimate Rally Online Shop.

Your help in this matter is highly appreciated.
Kimble

merci

P.S. Forum links ONLY by email or private message please. Thanks!

OK, those users are dealt with.

Just a heads up: If you receive an unsolicited, unwelcome PM, please let one of the moderators know. If it's clearly an advertisement for something, please don't post the links to the advertised products in main forum.
 
Millercertain1 is another man to be banninated. What retards... even a 12 year old knows to read the fine print....[EDIT] Added message.

Gumball did...

And with Kimbles previous stuff in mind, I think they just may....
 
WOW looks like I wasnt special enough to get one of these! :D I will report them also! :D And whats up with two ( users that shall not be named) that posted the links even though told not to?
 
I got one from MarkPorsches but I see the spammer has already been dealt with 👍
 
I got the quoted, unsolicited PM today. Being signed by 'Kimble' caught my interest and this PM and the respective site belong indeed to Kimvestor.com and a person called 'Kim Schmitz'.

Said person was already found guilty of fraud two times, among this with advertising wrong information about his company Kimvestor, and insider stock trade in '98 and '02 in Germany and did cost investors millions with fraudulent projects that only served to make him a temporary fortune. He is mostly known for his big ego and rude and immature attitude besides that, boasting of buying women and being superior to anyone else.
I'm not surprised he is operating out of Hong-Kong now.

Just thought I gave you a short heads up.

Those are german reports but some machine translation should give you the gist of things to support what I wrote above.
 
i got mine from "bushyteder"...

seems that mr schmitz is in desperate need of money, which he needs to pay his cars, yachts and friends...
 
Yeah, we're under a flooding attack by some spambot. We've banned at least a dozen new account users today. Just keep posting unique usernames here and we'll keep banning 'em until they go away.

Thanks,

Duke

[edit] OK, every account mentioned up to here in this message has been banned, as well as the various PMs I've received. Thanks, everybody. Keep posting the names here and we'll keeping sending them to the showers.
 
Jordan should put one of those random number picture things in the registration page to stop automated registration, that would certainly stop it wouldn't it?

I just got that emailed to me from 'kachkaev2'.
