Anything that says:

"Full LIst"

"Complete List"

"Contact Numbers"

in the subject line is fake and trying to steal your information.

I flagged like 100 of these messages this morning, it's like being on a treadmill deleting them, and i am exhausted.

Please use the Flag→Spam option below these messages and do your part, I need a break for a bit

    I've done so many I lost count. They are coming in faster than I can delete them. I wonder if there's a mass prune feature here?

    "Live agent" is another keyword, btw

    I believe @Coach Natalie can add these keywords to a spam filter on her side, I don't have those tools.

    BTW: Thanks for trying, but we're humans fighting robots, and the robots are winning with the tools you and I have.

    If spam filters can't fix this, they'll have to switch to where users have to be approved before posting, which won't be great for attracting new users with questions/ideas.

    I'm sure they can mass prune by username. I tried, but I'm out. I can't keep up with the bots.

    Same here with the flagging. This started about a week ago. I'll never understand the kind of hateful mind that wants to do this kind of stuff. Greed I suppose.

    I'm convinced these are enemy nations, military (foreign) targetting US Citizens.. don't want to guess what country.. Noticed some phone numbers appeared to be international from memory not that i was looking that close

    They keep creating new usernames. I fear that Quicken may have to go to some system where you must be a verified user to join the community. At least, they'll then have to pay a fee.

    Yes, it happens every night here because it's day on their side of the world. We don't have to name the likely culprits. We know who they are. Rob pretty much nails it.
