I got a PM from that person.
The title was "spam protection", leading me to believe that it was a warning about recent spam in PM's and how to avoid it, but when I opened the message I was instantly taken to a Viagra ad.
What kind of con man would deliberately lie about the contents of a PM and then expect us to trust him enough to buy his product?

I love to use the "delete" key and was happy to use it today.
When the message through my email reminding me that I had a "personal message" at TH, I didn't even "open it" and promptly deleted it. What a wonderful feeling of empowerment!
Hope you did the same.
Best wishes,
Lloyd |

I got the same & reported him/her/it to Moderator, which were the instructions in the sticky note above this thread.
Don't go clicking any links you find as you'll just encourage further message abuse.  |

I found one in my pm box.
gensurik
spam protection (something like that) as the subject
The only text was "read new rules" with a link.
Guess I'll delete that. |
