My apologies for the unwanted messages. I replied in this thread with some details about how we're working to stop these bots, but I noticed you also mentioned you were having login trouble. Can you please elaborate on what sort of issue you're running into when attempting to login? Are you on a separate device from the one you had the login trouble on?

I have only one way to get on line. My PC is only used by me. I am sick and tired of web sites selling my information & blocking me when I use ad blocker. I will give you some time to get the Sex ads off your page. I am hoping you can. I got over 100 sex ads in this LS1tech page today. That makes more than 500 since joining. Fix it or say good bye!

I completely understand the frustration this caused. I can assure you no personal information was exposed by the bots sending you PMs. All notifications you receive from LS1Tech are sent directly from us on behalf of the person trying to reach you, be it another member, or in this case, a bot. Your email address is not shown, nor are any profile details you don't choose to publicly display.
We have removed the vast majority of the spam PMs, but in the process discovered a small bug in which the five most recent PMs you received continue to display on one specific page of your User CP. However, your full PM inbox should now be completely free of the spam messages.
Thanks for your patience as we work to resolve this. If you need any further assistance, please let us know.
Edit: The bug is now resolved and the spam PMs should be completely resolved from every page of your User CP.
