This evening I got 2 identical comments from someone who apparently joined 365 just to post creepy messages. This person requested that I send her my email address so she can send me photos. Is this happening to anyone else?
@allie912 Ross deleted one spammer overnight. If your messages are still there today (I looked and couldn't find them) then this is another one.Please let him know so that he can get rid of the account.
@allie912 i got one today. profile name is 'mary' no pictures, no followers, nothing... asked for my email, so we can 'go on from here'..... creepy, indeed....
It happened to me also...in fact I came here looking for a way to contact Ross to tell him about this...and yes..."Mary" is who I also got the post from...posted on a photo from over a year ago...
I just got one now with a new account - @Scrivna mary
Hi,Good Day;
My name is Miss.Mary Dion, I saw your profile to day at (365project.org) and was moved and become interested in you, I will like you to send me an email to my address (mary_dion50@yahoo.in) so that i can give you my pictures for you to know whom i am.
I believed we can move from here? Remember colour or distance does not matter but LOVE matters allot in life). Reply
me back with my email address (mary_dion50@yahoo.in) hope to hear from you soon
yours Miss.Mary Dion!
I was just about to start a thread on this very comment ... I two have had two e-mail alerts from pepole who don't have accounts .... one is mary4ril and the other Happ4u .... really odd. Sounds so plausible but when you go to their supposed page there's nothing there!
I got one too. Was about to start a thread on it. It's exactly the same as the message @jo365 posted:

I've now gotten 4 identical messages so I guess Mary has not yet been blocked. Surely no one ever responds to some one like this, so what is the pay off for them?
I got one too.... no, I didn't respond to it . Maybe we ought to set up a thread asking who has responded ! There must be someone who has or why bother!

must think we don't have 2 brain cells to rub together!
I'm spam-free, but funny reading these messages, this Mary sounds like an interesting character, but her Grammar needs some work. Today is one word Mary, became is the past tense of become. I 'would' like you... we capitalise I...there's just too much to even mention. Maybe some of the ace members fees can go towards an English course for poor Mary?
I received two messages from a Mary Dion this morning. They were identical to what @voodoochild reported. I will report this later to Ross. Poor Ross. It looks like Mary might be spam.????
@Scrivna I had notification of 3 comments from 'Mary' - but they didn't appear on the actual page (photos from April x 1 & June x 2). The individual's account is non-existent. I assume your action has caused them to be deleted - Thanks Ross!
@Scrivna Ross, I received two messages from this Mary Dion this morning via my e-mail (one from about 10 hours ago and one from about an hour ago. However, I did not see her comments under the two pictures she supposedly commented on. Must be spam. I wish you luck on blocking this. Thanks in advance for helping us out.
I just came here to notify Ross... Most unpleasant find from @mary4ril !
If it goes no further, that would be good news for the day. Thanks, Ross, for taking care of this!
@Scrivna Just received a 3rd message from good old Mary. She really likes that July picture! ARGGGGGHHH! I will be glad when she is gone. I do believe though that this is spam, which is a lot more difficult to get rid of than a live person.
She just wrote me. It seems like a computer generated message that is spamming us. on a picture from the summer. I see that she doesn't have any pictures.

Sorry for the bother, Ross, but *it's* morphed into mary2000 a different profile than used earlier. This pathetic creature would do better to go outside and get a breath of fresh air!
I got one too! I am glad I am not the only one! I googled the name and there are loads of posts on other websites. I bet it is computer generated too. Which makes it slightly less creepy.

Thanks @scrivna for getting onto these so quickly - they are deleted before I've had chance to report them! Would it help if you had to verify your e-mail when you register - I don't know that it would but a lot of sites make you do that and I assume it's for some sort of security?!
@Scrivna Ross, I am not trying to be critical b/c I know spammers have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves, but I am still getting msgs on old photos from "Mary" as of 1 hr ago.... so how could she do this if her account was deleted? Is "she/he/it/some computer" constantly signing up again?
Why is Mary not "moved"by my photos? Why does she not want to give me pictures so I can know "whom" she is? I thought love mattered "allot" in life to her. This is all very hurtful. Screw you Mary.
I got 3 of those loving messages... @pwallis I will gladly pass her along to you as I don't want her to be "moved" by my photos or know "whom" I am... ;-)
My sense of humor is finally returning. I had a thought. If Mary keeps targeting my shots, perhaps one of them will get on the Popular Page. Go Mary Go. NOT really. I am just trying to look at the up side of things.
Wow, Mary is active in a lot of discussion boards. I googled the e-mail address that people posted and it had over 7500 hits. deviantart, afghanunited, poemish, currenthiphop, etc. She is one busy lady.
@scrivna - it occurs to me it might help us help you (help us . . . , sorry that got away from me) if we knew what, if any more, info. it would be helpful to you to receive from us about this. I picture your box filling up with so much junk from us just talking about this.
Thanks for the heads up. Nothing for me, but this is why I won't let my off spring post a facial pic or real name - even though it has caused many arguments. Being careful with wording here, so it may sound stilted/weird/misspelled, but it's intentional ...
Gee we got home from vacation today and the first thing I saw when opening up the computer was Mary's message..she must be going through our calendars as she referred to a March 2010 picture. who the heck is this person??? Did anyone contact Ross????
I received a comment on one of my older photos from this Mary woman also, i too thought it was very creepy. Glad to know I wasn't the only one. I guess "Mary" has been busy.
hasn't anyone heard the old nursery rhyme===Mary Mary quite contrary how does your garden grow. With silverbells anc cocklelshells, and pictures from 365---hmmmm I may have added something???
@scrivna shortly after I clicked on Mary's message my computer froze up and I'm unable to get into my e-mail account..could there be a virus coming in through Mary's e-mail?? has anyone else problems with getting into your e-mail account??

I had the same Miss Mary Dion email today, too. I am somewhat relieved that it was a massive spamming and not just the creepy email I thought it was when I first got it.
@bruni I did Bruni, but so far I haven't checked my email, so I don't know if he replied yet. However, I notice a new message from Mary in my notifications. I am not going to open this one though. I also sent a copy of what "Mary" sent me, so Ross could see it. I'm sorry to hear about your computer though. That didn't happen to me.
I got two notifications from this mary person (but the message on the pictures I posted was already gone)...just found out yesterday and glad I read this thread so I know what it is...thanks for the thread and for Ross for taking care of these spams.
ok, so i modified the comments code to detect these sorts of behaviour, hopefully we wont see too much of that any longer. i'm now going to close this so we can all move on.
Thanks for your participation, this thread has now been closed.

@Scrivna I agree with @electricwriter that having a way to block a person is a good idea.
But on a serious note, I got it just a minute ago, so she still isn't blocked...

I got the same message
Maybe report it to 365project team
If it goes no further, that would be good news for the day. Thanks, Ross, for taking care of this!
Thanks @scrivna!
Now it's deleted - I guess Mary doesn't really like me :-(
Count your blessings. Unfortunately, I just received a comment from this lovely Miss Mary.
I just received the same comment about 5 minutes ago. They seem to be coming from here: http://365project.org/mary2000/365

Booooooooooo spammers.
You realize you just tagged yourself in your own comment? lol.
Awesome! I roll too. HA!
Good way of looking at it!
@pwallis
You are a sick, sick puppy.
@melaniesavage
Ross is working on the system. See: http://365project.org/discuss/general/8637/weird-message
Yes Ross has been contacted. He commented previously in this thread.
I thought it might be suspicious, so I looked here first.
