Recieved one myself. Once it is brought to Kevin's attention he will deal with it promptly. Until then do not open it.

Same exact thing as the last one. At the top right corner of the pm box is a report button. Report them, and Kevin will deal with it soon.

Hey guys... thanks for everyone notifying me about this.

These PM's are being sent by human spammers.

They pose NO threat to you, as long as you don't click on any of the links they put in their PM.

Let me repeat, these PM's pose absolutely no risk to you as long as you never click the links in their message. This goes for this particular spam message, and any others that may come in the future. Just ignore/delete/report them as you would regular email spam (except these are actually safer).

I'll be figuring out a way to prevent these in the future. Sorry for the inconvenience.
