    Does anyone else get messages from an emmasweet or emma_sweet that they can’t read? I’ve gotten two in the last two days. Am I missing something?

    It is probably spam. Ignore that

    The message you’ve received was from a spammer. I’ve already banned the user and deleted the conversations. Unfortunately, the spammer was able to send messages to 10,000+ users on the site. The message was the same for every user and contained a link to a dating site.

    I got a message from an EmmaSquirt that I also am unable to read due to an error occurring. Is this also spam?

    Yes, unfortunately the third spam attack. I have now temporarily disabled email notifications from newly registered users.

    Gotcha. So I shouldn’t be worried that I got hacked or anything?

    No, you don't need to worry. It's a bot that automatically sends messages with a link to a dating website (to your account, not from your account).

  19. Looks like you're busily playing a game of whack-a-mole at the moment with these spam accounts! Interestingly however that message I received was cleared, I still have an unread message badge on my CHYOA account, but when I go to messages there are no new messages.
    I imagine there's still a bit of untangling to be done though!

    I think I outsmarted him. Now I just have to clean up.
