I have received a private message from a Jack Marvin making me aware of the golf facilities at Arabella Golf Club. He has no forum posts, photo's or articles, so how has he been able to do this? Poor choice really, as I have never swung a golf club in my life Lynne

We were slightly confused by this, until we realised the account's profile is being used to advertise an American golf club.

The account has been permanently suspended.

Wouldn't it be better to delete it?

OT: I trust the move went well.

.

If you are at liberty to do so, Neil … could you please tell us a little more ?

Particularly : Why would Lynne be targeted by ‘Jack Marvin’ ?

… Do you think it was ‘personal’

… or was Lynne chosen at random, just to test the capability ?
