Hey everyone-

I have 2 accounts here and each have gotten a weird random message (in bad english) which I will post below.
I suspect some foreign person using a bot and trying to snag us into giving them our bank account numbers or the like?
Anyone else getting spam messages like these?

I haven't gotten any such messages. Delete and ignore, they are obvious phishing scams.

We are allowed only one account each on WP. How did you get to be a priviledged exception?

I'm not being spammed, the spammers don't like me, lol

Seriously though if you are being spammed to your PM inbox on here, report the username to a mod and maybe they can take action, if it's to your email inbox then add the address to the spam filter
