This is indeed fake. The GTAG Administration do not send out such emails and that bot is not part of the admin group.

We have taken care of the messages and are trying to prevent any more like this.

This is a pretty serious issue. I don't think that was a bot though, there are plenty of people that register just to be noobs. Always check the usergroup when you receive that type of messages and report them to us ASAP too.

It's a bot... Botty info.

I've stopped em anyway. Apparently Recaptcha sucks at keeping bots out.

TGTAS? You mean TGTAP? Or are there really more GTA websites than I thought...

TGTAP have ReCAPTCHA. However quite a while ago I noticed they had some of the same bots we had. I'm not sure if they ever spammed. If so, TGTAP admins/mods probably got on the case pretty fast.

GTAF use GD. They certainly don't have a spam problem. Although they have more admins and moderators than anyone, so...


Anyway... about 4 days and no bots. This method is looking hopeful.
