Spam PM from disco5.co.uk
Martin,
Just received this as a notification of a PM - apparently from disco5.co.uk.
Subject: A new world
Message:
Hello,
Hope you are doing great?
A new way to make sure your voice is heard and there are repercutions for bad service, but we need your help to make it possible.
Being avid readers of forums, and the automobile industry forums in general, we have come up with an easier and more flexible way for all of you to share your opinions and receive others much more than ever before on the go.
How? We came up with an app concept that will facilate people in getting in touch not just with each other but with car brands and dealerships and have released a beta version of the app for ios as seen in the pics below.
In order to move on, we need a handful of people to download the beta version and give their honest opinion about the concept behind the app.
After that, assuming everything is positive, we plan to then introduce more features to the app such as:
-Dealership reviews that will have great impact on the dealerships and thus urge them to always keep service at 100% -Easier upload of pics and videos -Inclusion of car brands CRC ( would save the brands more time if everyone is in one place) -A section with common faults for each model and it's fix so that customers need not go to their dealers every time if it's an easy fix.
These and much more features will be available to make sure that customers have a good experience and their voices can finally be heard.
Our plan is to unify all car enthusiasts and people who love to share their thoughts and Learn from others under one roof.
Just as linked in revolutionalized the way people connected and looked for jobs, We plan to do the same for the automobile industry.
We want to become the linked in of the auto industry and we look forward to taking this journey with each and everyone of you.
You can download the beta version by simply searching for BEEDLE in the app store or by clicking the following linkThere are two rules for success,
1. Never tell everything you know.

So either they've got into the back end and managed to do a send-all from within the forum, or the sender has been able to obtain our user names and email addresses by hacking the user table.
Time to change my password I think
