It's bull crap man, a spammer hit all of our inboxes. Just delete it and report it to the mods.

 

The spammer has been taken care of and I can assure you it wasn't an administrator. Just some scumbag scammer with no life. I apologize for any inconvenience

Kevin

 

anyone know how to get whatever this is out of my computer. Thanks for the replies guys

 

Just look at the join date and their post count, don't be stupid enough to think that a site moderator has zero posts and just joined the site. They can't stop all the spam so don't fall for the easy stuff. They sent me the message also.

 

I have no way of knowing if a member is a spammer or not until members tell me. The PM spams have gotten more and more popular and unfortunately, I don't receive them.
