I normally ignore spam, till I received the e-mail below.

I hope like hell you're not selling e-mail addresses. I have to wonder, how did they know that I'm into fx ? Where the **** did they get my e-mail from...?

I suspect that some Brokers sell your E-Mail address plus your cell-phone numbers. I receive a lot of forex-spam by E-Mail and spam calls from UK (they look for gullible Investors for their crap Investments). I can recommend the App "Calls Blacklist" for your phone, so you can add the Spammer-number directly from your call-protocol to the blocking list. And for the e-mails: just mark them as spam, they come mostly from the same assholes.

Agree Rob myfxbook has to do something to stop this spamming and scamming from the same person who just keeps setting up new profiles every few days and blocks everyone in their thread who are warning others about the scam which originated with Ammy scalper then mbot now holygrailfx and the list goes on and on...

1. Don't allow New registered Member post comments or Open discussion for 60-90 days would help.

This is probably the right way to filter , although the issue is that non spammers new comers will also be penalized. But I do not see a better solution as for now

C'mon @rob559

Need to brush up mate, blocking an IP address is like blocking a rain drop. Still going to get wet. Takes me about 1 second to change my IP and I have a nearly infinite supply of them.

There's just no point.
