question...again...Follow

I understand what you are saying, I also recently started playing but havn't got a tell from a gold seller yet. Its the same in WoW, you will get random tells from people who are promoting their gold selling / powerleveling website, how much they spam I have no idea, sadly this is the way some people make their money.

Yeah, /report the person sending you the tell. It's also good to follow-up with a "petition" to support. Sony's support site had a form for contacting the GMs. They usually respond withing 20-30 min and are pretty swift about nuking accounts.

sadly, it happens in every game nowadays. Awhile ago, Sony helped decrease the spam by getting rid of the ability to receive tells from anyone using the trial version of the game. Prior to this people were getting spammed like mad from people who would just install the trial just to advertise their gold site.

I've gotten tells and letters ingame in both EQ2 and WoW. Both games I just ignore the person and send in a report to the GMs.
