Default PM message

How many of you have received a PM from EddieTrr about a virus threat? Never heard of such a PM. Looks suspicious.

Got one too guys. Report it to Kevin, then delete it. You're fine as long as you don't click on the link.

Hi guys... sorry for the spam bot PM.

Just delete it and anything that looks like spam, IS!!!

Don't worry... it is completely harmless as long as you don't click on the links in their message.

This shouldn't happen again as I have just implemented a system I coded for blocking these spammers.

Thanks for everyone's reporting... please report any in the future (hopefully this is the last we'll see).

Thanks,

Kevin
