Youll probably find that the url they tell you to click on redirects you to a fake site to implent trojan or other spyware downloads as youll notice they want to "scan" your pc.

Ignore it or tell em to fark orf.

Were you sent it by a member of this site?

If so I'd let Coxy know.

Yes! the user name is ColinXhoward. i think it is quite easy for anyone to join this group,why don't we have a verification to ensure a new user truly knows about audi?

we do!

This one slipped through the net!

All users are checked against the forum spam database prior to being accepted.
What this user do was register his name on a number of forums about a week ago, but didn't post anything straight away so his name wasn't blackballed.
Then, a week or so later he came on and dished out some spam.

Just delete it, no harm done!
