I apologize if this is posted in the wrong forum, but I have been getting creepy messages from a poster on here (User ID scrivyscriv) saying things like "Hey Baby what's up" and trying to find out personal things about me. He is apparently married which makes it even creepier, I would like to block him from being able to send me any more messages. Thank you

Yes, go into the person's profile page, here is a direct link to that user:
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=273430

Click "Add to ignore list" and they will not be able to PM you.

This sort of thing is not allowed.
Feel free to send me the content of the PMs to my PM, I may need to contact this member.

Sounds super creepy. Maybe you should post the content of the one message that user sent you? Odd how that user's profile doesn't mention his marital status, how did you determine that? Maybe by creeping on his information?


Go home, sb001. You're drunk.

Oh, and just for reference, in this very same site discussion forum:


"DON'T create more than one account for any reason. If you have multiple accounts:

Please request to have older accounts consolidated
We will combine your duplicate accounts into one account
Violating this rule may lead to a ban of all your accounts and removal of your Classified Ads"

Oh, and here's a screen shot of the message content. I know if an admin wants to investigate in/out boxes for clarification or confirmation he is welcome to do so. I'm sure the server saves most, if not all, messages somewhere. I'm also sure the server stores IP address information regarding who is posting from where.
