Re: {berkshomebrew} Gabriel is in the neighborhood!!

Why is this person allowed to continually post to the homebrew group when it has nothing to do with the group and seems like a solicitation/scam?  Can't they be blocked or removed?

Hello Everyone!

We’re scheduling a dryer vent cleaning and if anyone else is interested, we can get a group discount. Normally, this service costs $350, but if more people sign up, the price drops to $150 per home! Not cleaning your dryer vent increases the risk of fire in your home because lint and dust build up inside the vents, which can become a serious fire hazard.
We’ve used this service before, and they do an excellent job. (he does duct and chimney cleaning if you need that as well)

If you’re interested, please PM me your contact info and address, and I’ll arrange a convenient time. Or feel free to text Gabriel at 240-202-8145

Hi Giz and everyone else,

I took care of deleting this post and blocking this user a little earlier today. The similar emails from earlier this month were from different email addresses, all of which have also been removed from the group.

I discovered today that our group was open to the public, allowing anyone to join without approval. I found a "Membership Approval" setting that prevents the public from joining without our consent. I have enabled this now since this has become a recurring problem. The stricter alternative is to make our group invite-only; hopefully, that isn’t necessary.

Hopefully this helps, and apologies to everyone for the noise!

Cheers,

Jerry

I agree. We’ve been hacked. Who’s running this show:)
