Thanks guys!
Let me know if you get any new ones - we had 2 spammers so far and they each have sent about 50-100 messages.

They were all from Mauritius (wow, go figure)

I banned the ip for probably entire country trying to stop this thing...

Thank you for reporting.

Seems like the person is using the forum to find dates. Odd place to find date but definitely seems like a scam.

I have no idea, I guess this is my way of relieving stress, the exam is less than a week and I'm making stupid mistakes in questions that I could easily get right.
The forum is more diverse than a bloody bschool. I thought some posts might help.
