Chances are you are not alone in receiving such spam, especially considering some spammers are paid by the advertisement. Since the Cnet PM system falls under the same usage guidelines as the forums, spammers will be banned, preventing them from reaching countless other members. They may be gone before the first alert is received, but it's better to try in vain than to never try at all. For the most direct route I suggest contacting Lee through the PM system (profile) and including a copy of the message.

Should it be reported when one's user profile becomes a spam alleyway? I don't get much but do get some which states "Message from a CNET Member that turns out to be come on offer of some type. I just got one wanting me to sign up for some sort of business opportunity asking for a 15 dollar registration fee. I would think this would be against policy as my member profile should not be available to anyone other than a member who's agreed to abide by the rules. Of course I know there are those who sign up, drop their load, and disappear. Maybe it's not worth the time to bring this up and I should just ignore and delete these. ![]()
