PM messages from strangers

[ann]

anyone else receive a pm from someone named rihannaa?

I did, but haven't opened it as i didn't recognize the name as someone from this site. Another site i visit has had a rash of these offereing russian brides, which the members have had great fun with, but who knows what is attached.

With the message title, "hello good friend"?

How do you delete these messages?

Fw the messages to me and I will ban the users. I banned rihannaa already. Are there others?

I just got one from steeffen899 about computer security .... heading is Attention. Not going to open the link for obvious reasons ......

...... and did a little research into the link, (detected.co.cc), apparently it is a phishing site, so if you get the pm, don't open the link in the message.

All the PM's have come from the same IP and the user registered on the same day. I banned all of them so we should have a respite -- for awhile.
