good call not responding usually when these get a bite they flip in to spam mode (not that seeing you get spam bombed wouldn't be fun )

P.S. who ever designs these bots must have failed in marketing college(I'm not sure if marketing college is a real place)

EDIT: has any one told alblaka yet?

Guess I shouldn't have responded with several revealing pictures, my phone number, email address and availability. Gosh darn it, it seemed so legit!

I got that shit too and looked at the Profile of that Bot.

I saw FenixR was there (And passinglurker), even if that Bot didn't posted anything (From where did they knew that it exists, if they weren't PM-ed too), so it was obviously a Spambot.

I say I got lucky I found the first posted complaint about it before it had gotten to me, and recognized what it was doing. after disabling forum email I simply looked up the profile in the member search to see if was spamming in any other ways

as we wait for alblaka to incinerate this bot we should make a forum game out of this or something

Just wanted to add: I got this mail, too.

I got one and a report from someone who got one.

One of the spambots that hit us (the ice machine one) was quite hilarious, it harvested phrases from blogs to put before the link. Some lines were even from old posts on the BuildCraft blog.

Rofl guys, we should figure out some sort of game for it

we'll do the "lets make up a game game" where we take turns making up rules and details I'll start.

RULE #1: EVERY ONE WHO GOT A MESSAGE FROM THE BOT IS CONSIDERED A ZOMBIE OR INFECTED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT

And how would you spread the virus?

And just had the craziest thought: How strong do you think the spam filter is on the spambot's email?

I see the lack of forum games in here.

Not very...
Idea: Set up fake email account, then set up bots to spam the bot. Counterspambot.

I used to use abuse -at- localhost.usps.gov for places I know never had a verification step and knew would spam the hell out of you.
