Beware of the Lottery Spammers

Spammers are abusing your WebMail and Recommend Us features by mass mailing spam via your PHP Nuke site!
I ran a search through my database using ...

Code:

SQL-query:
SELECT `username`
FROM `nuke_users`
WHERE `username` REGEXP 'Lotto'
LIMIT 0 , 30


Result:
Username: lottocordinator
User email: smartballlotto@yahoo.com
User IP: 81.199.84.12

Use the sql above to help locate them and block their IPs.
Change the REGEXP value to lottery, game, lotto, smartball or anything else that the spammer may use as an alias.

I put together a Refer A Friend module that does not allow the user to edit the sender address. This prevents anonymous referrals. It (and other modules) are available for download at my site.
