Part of the email from GR
.......
These are spam and normally come through to us for approval before we allow them to be on the success stories boards.

I think there might have been an issue with the approval system yesterday.

We will keep an eye on it.

I have done this several times over the last couple of years Shirley and they appear to be the same person. I go on Success Stories regularly to check the person isn't back. I feel it's lets see how long they are on this time attitude.

GR usually get rid of quickly. Why they don't ban the person I don't know :-S


EDIT - They are gone :-D

He must have been watching! GR could ban him if he keeps reposting.

Added - the one currently showing was posted at 16 Mar 2019 22:13. It might have been the one from the previous page.

I'd emailed support direct & have already had a reply.

I accidentally clicked on succes instead of General and wow almost a page of spam fake sales posts

Have sat and reported all of them to support so hopefully they will get deleted

The headings are still there but each one had been reported
