Default Is it spam

I've received a private email purporting to be from someone giving away 2 Toyota cars via Madaboutkitcars. It looks suspicious - Is it?

A good rule for spam email (and life) is that if it appears to be too good to be true then it probably is. Suggests the MAKC server has been infected so we should all receive increased amounts of crap soon.

Me too, but only three of them were winners. I've now got two unregistered GT 86's and a brand new Land Cruiser on my drive. Oink Oink, flap flap.

Oh no, hang on, it's spam isn't it.

All four messages deleted without opening, I suggest everyone else who's sane does the same.

Thanks Oxford

I have deleted the user in question, they had sent out 20 PMs which are also now deleted.

Even though the PM messaging system was already set so that it couldn't be flooded, I have tightened it a bit more.

Cheers everyone, and sorry for the actions of the occasional d1ckhead!
