Please look into friend4you sending PMs looking for bank details etc

Yup. Me too. Have we all been spammed & need to shut down our accounts or just delete and move on....?

Punkatheart · 02/04/2018 05:06

Report and block - I have.

StealthPolarBear · 02/04/2018 05:13

Yes. I couldn't get the report button to work

bertdynamite · 02/04/2018 05:47

Me too. I've blocked, but couldn't manage to report.

StewPots · 02/04/2018 06:20

Yep just woken to this but couldn't get the report button to work either. I'm on my phone though so will try on the PC later.

Cheeky bastards. How's about you fuck off Pauline?

I thought I'd made a new special friend! Easter Grin

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3210558-spam-in-pm and another thread of people complaining.

FleurDelacoeur · 02/04/2018 07:52

I got it too. Is there a way you can block PMs from people other than MNHQ?

SparklyMagpie · 02/04/2018 07:55

Glad I just came across this as I was going to start a thread asking if anyone else got a spammy PM from friend4you I can't seem to block either

OutsideContextProblem · 02/04/2018 08:36

Me too.

buckley1983 · 02/04/2018 08:51

I had one too. Poor old Mrs Pauline!

Deckthehallswithjammydodgers · 02/04/2018 08:55

I've had it too

Middleoftheroad · 02/04/2018 08:57

Me too but can't report on my phone either.

MirandaWest · 02/04/2018 08:58

I feel a little left out that I haven’t had a pm Grin

BrieAndChilli · 02/04/2018 08:59

I was just coming on to report.

SillyMoomin · 02/04/2018 09:01

Oh phew, me too. I emailed contactus@mumsnet as my report button wouldn’t work either

Waving hi to Mrs Pauline

CrochetBelle · 02/04/2018 09:02

Hahaha, you don't actually think MN are paying anyone to work over the bank holiday, do you?

Sevendown · 02/04/2018 09:21

I’ve also got one.

I was wanting to know how to report it to mnhq?

Do I just delete it? / ignore it?

Why is it targeting certain posters?

BrazzleDazzleDay · 02/04/2018 09:27

I got it too. I AM special

If on mobile you need to click on desktop site to be able to report it

Falconhoof1 · 02/04/2018 09:28

I got email telling me I had a message from friend4you but had been deleted (by Mumsnet presumably). What did it say?

JenMumsnet · 02/04/2018 09:29

Hi Everyone,
We really appreciate your reports and emails.

Please rest assured we've banned their account now and will be removing all of these PMs.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 02/04/2018 09:34

I got that, thanks MNHQ for deleting it before I'd even read it. Easter Grin

I doubt many people on here would be naiive enough to give information though.

aristocat · 02/04/2018 09:36

Hope nobody replied to it.

FlowerPotMum · 02/04/2018 10:19

I got one too. Deleted before I read it, what did it say??
Thanks MNHQ for sorting it.

You're welcome - thanks a lot to everyone who posted here and reported to let us know.

We'll keep our peepers peeled but please come back to us if you receive any more PMs along these same lines....
