    Nope, but it's almost impossible for a real bot to send a pm. And a real person would need forever to get to every member. What was the username?

    Yeah, shove one up his komon. :p
    But seriously: you can check a link before opening it by copying the link source. Just paste it into notepad to look what it is.

    And if you want to be really sure: google the link and see what comes up.

    Googled the link - avg says its safe, however this does not clear the fact that he could be advertising...

    I found other websites afflicted with the same messages as i was here in PM's, read for yourself and be careful...

    Could mods look into this? Or am i just being absolutly un called for because the guy is simply saying a nice hello?...

    Spam in forum?

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I received the following message in the message box and believe it's a spam. Didn't know they could do that through forums.

    There's even a url, which I didn't open in case it's one of those hack sites. Hope you can see if the user's a fake.

    Thanks.

    Had this same problem. Avoid it at all costs. It will coming back with different URLs.
