Hello, In the last couple of hours or so, I have received dozens of Kudoz notification emails, with chinese characters (I guess), they all look like this: Întrebare KudoZ nouă: ----------------------- Termen: 라이브정선카지노╱╲★【 SLDB 7。C0M 】★╱╲바카라사이트 Limbi: engleză Domeniu: Zootehnie/Creşterea animalelor (라이브정선카지노) Nivel: profesionist Autor întrebare: ...

After that I have deleted all messages, and I keep doing so, but it seems a neverending story. Now I have 73 new messages in 18 minutes! I am already performing a scan on my computer, but I wonder if it's just me or if anyone else has this problem.

I've been getting the same and was just going to notify support. At least when I opened one I got the message that the request had been removed (by the moderator I guess), because it was nonsense. But I keep getting them. Haven't bothered to count. Just scads and scads of them, all at once. I just delete. But it's getting to be tiresome.

Edited to add: I just started counting the trashed notifications received in the last 2 hours: I stopped counting at 40 and that seemed to be about one-third.... so over 100 notifications in 2 hours. I am also deleting KudoZ notifications for the nonce.
