We have been having issues with hackers trying to join our site and posting fictitious stuff trying to get you to click on links in their posts... if you see anything you have a question about please send a pm to one of the admin team and we will check it out! I have deleted and banned at least 3 this week and Bucky has deleted a few as well. Pakistan, Vietnam, China were the locations the IP addresses came from...
If you are unsure please don't click on links from people you don't know on here until you check with one of us... I don't want to see someone get a computer virus or get hacked.
Thanks for helping us!!! Joe and your OSM staff...

We're not the only ProBoards forum having to deal with these people, either. Moparsinscale has deleted a few, and there have been questions asked on the ProBoards Support Forum,as well.
Since this is primarily a scale model forum, we tend to pay close attention to these members and the threads they post.

They have some very funny videos on Youtube, of Hackers being hacked.  |

With all the problems of today and the increasingly aggressive presence of China and Russia, I am not surprised by what you say! We have the same problems, but the stakes are higher, they are higher in your case (USA). Unfortunately, our field has inevitably become affected by these scoundrels. I hope they take it on their backs, sorry for the less academic language!
Thank you for the warning!

Vietnam? Probably why I couldn't read it LOL. I was aware of this. I saw their post and reported it. No, I didn't click on a link. I didn't even look to see if there was one. I figured a Mod would see it and delete. As I type this they are still showing on my PC as the newest member though.
