A friendly warning

Post by Damian Bee »

Have you noticed some airy waffle about Louis Vitton handbags etc recently on Ausbonsai, it is dodgy :shifty: spam.

I think you may look at the post but don't touch any links on that post or signatures that belong to the author and certainly do not go looking at the links later on out of curiosity.

If there is any post/topic you are not sure about, have doubts about or do not trust, it is in your best interests to leave it alone and report it to the Mod squad.

I hope that I am not out of line in posting this, just concerned :fc:

Thanks Ken

A good reminder is to look for the "triangle" alert at the right side of all posting messages. I forgot and just alerted a mod via PM :palm:

While they are good for a laugh, they can be quite nasty if you were to follow the link. So most definatley stay away from any links or attachments they post
Have a question? The AusBonsai Wiki most likely has the answer!

Looking for a Nursery or Club near your? Check out the AusBonsai Directory which lists them all
