PM Spam

[Jenerator]

Anyone else getting what looks like spam via PM?
I got a PM sent at 02:16 that's unrelated to any of my posts and has a link to what looks like a questionable web site. It's from a recently-joined member who's got no posts in any of the forums

Just report them to "administrator".

The PM content itself wasn't overt spam, just broad enough and indirect enough that it seems odd. Wanting to give the person the benefit of the doubt that they're just not tuned into PM manners, I thought I'd check the general forum members to see if it was bot generated before sending to admin.

This has happened once in a while here. Report it and set the sender on "ignore".
If you get a really general PM like "Hey how are you doing?- I saw your posts and thought you would appreciate this...." followed by a link then that is a big red flag. NEVER click on any links from people you don't know!! (rule #1 in safe computing)
Report it to the TE administrator so the offender can be removed.

Though no one else replied, others must have received it, as the sender has been removed.

I also received the spam. :mad:
